Challenges
Time:- Since the duties of the office include teaching time is indeed a limiting factor for successful execution of these activities.
Resources:- This refers to personnel, raw materials, time and money needed for optimum realization of output from each activity. These are not readily available.
Competition:- Most SME practitioners rarely have the necessary skills to compete with their peers in the industry.
Absence of role models:- The role models would spur more potential entrepreneurs to venture into business.
Legal and regulatory framework:- This is usually stringent and always costly hence discouraging potential entrepreneurs.
