Abstract
It is now generally agreed that small businesses are one of the key engines of growth in many developing countries by contributing to employment creation. In this paper, it is argued that micro and small businesses cannot grow or succeed unless they are entrepreneurial. It is with this view in mind that this paper proposed that effort must be placed on the development of entrepreneurial behaviour in small businesses Many studies have been undertaken and have identified numerous problems as being associated with small businesses, such as lack of finance and access to it, lack of market information, lack of managerial skills and many others. Little attention however has been paid to entrepreneurs which is the underlying factor to the development of any business. Entrepreneurship is the ability to seek out opportunities and turn them to profitable businesses.
