Abstract:
The determinants of Performance of SMEs in the Western Area of Sierra Leone have not been properly determined. In this study, 450 SMEs were randomly selected from the population of SMEs in the Western Area of Sierra Leone from 2018 to 2020 and estimated in panel data framework. An econometric model is used to investigate these determinants. Hence, both OLS version and random effect model were estimated. In the OLS, the firms are considered homogenous while in the random effect regression, they are heterogeneous. The result shows that capital productivity and labour productivity have positive effects on SME performance and that the performance determinants of SMEs in the Western Area of Sierra Leone are gender of SME heads, the structure and service type of the SMEs and the educational level of the SME heads.
