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
