1.0     INTRODUCTION

Size is a relative term. A business may be considered big in itself and yet be small when compared with other business in the same industry.
Small-scale enterprises therefore have varying definition in actual sense, the term small scale enterprises mean small scale business factories, industries where a small amount of capital is invested.

Also, Centre for Industrial Research and Development (CIRO) O.A.U. Ile- Ife, Define Small scale enterprises as one with the total investments capital not exceeding #250,000 and employed not more than 50 full time workers.
