Deregulation in Microfinance Institution (MFIs) in accordance with regulatory policy architecture since 2005 has not fully stimulated sustainability towards the informal system due to the inability of MFIs to access funds and government to judiciously administer credits to beneficiaries of various schemes; this has led to the partial collapse of some schemes in Nigeria; despite Government good intentions of creating employment and alleviating poverty. In view of this, this study assessed Microfinance Institution (MFIs) and Survival of Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs): Empirical evidence of tradermoni scheme beneficiaries in South-Western Nigeria. The study adopted Tedeschi model (2006) that examined incentives available for borrowers to repay loans. Furthermore, reference was made to Markov Chain model to investigate the response of individual borrower as an applicant and beneficiary of tradermoni scheme in the context of this study. Eighteen MFIs were sampled from 2009 – 2020. Panel data was adopted for the study. The result showed mixed influences of MFIs on survival of MSEs. We are hopeful that findings of this paper would help to fill the existing gap on the influence of MFIs on the survival of MSEs.

Basically a natural partnership will achieve its goal if mutual requirements, mutual reinforcement, and mutual benefit can be maintained and made a strong fundamental commitment among partners. Nevertheless the development seems very slow. The cause is the presence of specific and different conditions and structure factors compared to other countries. Along with that, we still encounter various forms of gaps, such as inequality among regions, among income groups, between sectors, among economic actors, and so forth. The next problem is that in business entities including cooperatives and micro and small enterprises in running their business activities requires business partnerships with medium and large enterprises in order to improve business performance and business scale. While on the other hand our economic conditions and structures are not yet fully conducive to fostering partnerships based on purely business considerations or competitive market motivations but the business partnership of the foundation is strong enough in our country's constitution. Partnerships will work if partners are equally benefiting. Our concept of partnership is like that, although in the short term, there is a party or a party benefiting more from the other side.

ResumoA importância das micro e pequenas empresas (MPE) pode ser notada pela relevante geração de riquezas e de empregos no Brasil. Contudo, os índices de insucesso e mortalidade para esse gênero de empresas são muito elevados e têm como um dos principais causadores a dificuldade no gerenciamento do capital de giro. A realização deste estudo teve como objetivo identificar e discutir os principais fatores, no âmbito da gestão de capital de giro, que prejudicam a continuidade das atividades das MPE industriais. A pesquisa envolveu uma coleta de dados com gestores de 55 MPE industriais.  Os resultados da pesquisa apontaram sete fatores mais importantes que interferem negativamente na gestão de capital de giro: formação inadequada dos gestores, acúmulo de atividade dos gestores, falta de planejamento financeiro, ausência de acompanhamento de indicadores de gestão, deficiência na gestão de estoque e produção, falta de condições de negociação com os fornecedores e restrições financeiras. Os resultados alcançados podem contribuir com a comunidade acadêmica e empresarial para ampliar a compreensão do que prejudica e dificulta a gestão de MPE, especialmente as que possuem atividade fabril. Palavras-chave: Capital de Giro; Micro e Pequenas Empresas; Mortalidade Empresarial.  AbstractThe importance of micro and small enterprises (SME) can be noticed by the relevant generation of wealth and jobs in Brazil.
