The agro processing, real estate, health care and hospitality sector administered 11,11% each of the questionnaires, the education sector administered the highest questionnaires representing 22,22%,pharmaceutical manufacturing, manufacturing and financial sector administered 7,41%, Beverage Manufacturing and Industrial Consumables & Services administered 3,70% each. SMEs are the bane of every country especially Ghana. They are major contributor to employment, wealth creation, poverty reduction, taxation, Gross Domestic Product, foreign exchange earnings and development and innovation of new business ideas. However, SMEs are saddled with financial constraints, poor corporate governance and financial management, limited market share and encounter losses in business operation. The SMEs also lacks collateral securities to acquire loan from financial institutions to employ the needed human resource and equipment for startup capital and growth. Those that had the collateral securities and acquire the loans are faced with high interest rate which increased their cost of business hence low return for expansion.
