ABSTRACT
The study investigated the Effect of
Co-operative Societies on the Growth of SM Es in Umuahia and throws more light
on co-operative societies as viable channels of raising capital for SMEs with
the main intention of determining the impact of co-operatives on such SMEs
which adds value to the Nigerian economy. Chi-Square was used for data analysis
on which Taro Yamene 's method was adopted. The findings show that there is
significant financial impact of co-operative societies as microcredit delivery
channels and also that there are factors militating against cooperative
societies as a microcredit delivery channel in SMEs. The study recommends that.
Government should support Co-operatives by providing loans and reducing
interest rate on loans. The study further recommends that there should be
mutual co-operation amongst members of co-operatives. Key Words: Co-operative
Societies. Growth and SMEs, Microcredit.
