The findings proved that a (total mean = 3.498, Std = 1.275) was satisfactory, according to the Likert scale and this showed that Firm growth enabled efficient accessibility of funds (credit) by SMEs thus boosting performance. SMEs in Buloba need to merge and pool resources so that they can have enough capital to enable them to operate better. This will enable them to request credit facilities with one voice. This is so because large firms can easily access funds since they are not seen as risky ventures. Money lenders are also assured of SMEs repaying the loaned money.
