Background of the Study
Small-scale businesses in Wamakko LGA face significant financial challenges, including limited access to funding, fluctuating income, and rising operational costs. One key tool for addressing these challenges is effective budgeting. A well-prepared budget allows businesses to plan for expenses, allocate resources efficiently, and make informed financial decisions. However, many small-scale businesses in Wamakko LGA fail to implement robust budgeting practices, leading to poor financial management and, in some cases, business failure. This study will examine the impact of budgeting on the financial performance of small-scale businesses in Wamakko LGA and assess how effective budgeting contributes to improved profitability, cost management, and long-term sustainability.
