    The growth and sustainability of SSEs is crucial for Uganda's economy. Small businesses help with progress in the economy by offering job opportunities and lifting people out of hardship. Even so, a large number of these small-scale enterprises struggle just to stay in business because capital remains hard to get. Loans from Micro-finance institutions have become a common solution towards stability for these Small-Scale enterprises. In addition to that is what comes with those loans, for example like how much they have to pay back, time constraints on payments, or needing assets upfront can shape whether a business is successful or barely survives. This research used a cross-sectional survey method combining numbers and personal insights where the quantitative and qualitative approaches were used. All officially listed small scale enterprises in Mukono Central Division made up the group being studied. Representation across different business types was balanced through random selection. Information came mainly from a questionnaire form filled out directly by participants, shaped around what the study aimed to find.

To outline patterns, measures like averages, frequency counts, proportions, and spread around the mean shaped the summary approach instead of just listing numbers. Relationships linking credit conditions from microfinance lenders to business money results emerged via regression plus correlation methods. From start to finish, respect guided every step participant knew their role, could leave anytime, privacy stayed protected.
