Abstract: This article presents the findings of a study that assesses the role of enabling factors for success of small enterprises. The results of the study show that success of small-scale enterprises in Lesotho depends on provision of infrastructural services, use of modern marketing facilities, access to markets and government support. However, some enterprises do not have access to these important determining factors. This paper assesses the role of infrastructure, access to markets and government support to success of small enterprises. Policy recommendations are suggested for improvement of small-scale enterprises in Lesotho.
