ABSTRACT
This research investigates the impact of environmental variables on small scale business enterprise. Questionnaires were mainly used to collect data from the sampled small scale businesses (SSBs). The data was analyzed using frequencies and percentages. The findings of this study clearly show that SSBs record low performance within the period studied and environmental factors have significant impact on their performance in Nasarawa state. The study recommends that government should create enabling environment for both existing and potential investors in the sector, through provision of adequate infrastructures, financial support and formulation of policies favorable to SSBs.
