In pursuit of these objectives, the following methodologies were employed in data collection: a) Literature review: this method was used in order to determine concepts and theories that are used to describe small-scale business enterprises. The major source of data in this section was non-Zimbabwean works, mainly, European and American researches and literatures. b) Secondary data: this was a study and acknowledgement of previous researches and works, which were carried out here in Zimbabwe on the same topic, small-scale business enterprises. c) Primary research: while carrying out this research, the researcher used random sampling method to determine target respondents.
