performance; a case study of Uganda Christian university. The study was guided by the
following objectives; To establish the effect of Entrepreneurial skills on student entrepreneurs
business performance at Uganda Christian university, to assess the effect of Access to capital

the effect of academic engagement on student entrepreneurs business performance at Uganda

two or more variables at a given point. Survey research design was useful in this study as it
helped to report things the way they are.
The study established that entrepreneurial skills and access to capital significantly enhance
business performance among student entrepreneurs at UCU, with strong agreement on their
importance. However, academic engagement poses challenges, as time spent on business
activities can negatively affect academic performance, creating a trade-off.
It was concluded that entrepreneurial skills and access to capital are key drivers of
student entrepreneurs’ business performance at UCU, while academic engagement poses
challenges due to time constraints and institutional policies. These factors collectively shaped
the success of student-led ventures, measured by revenue growth, profitability, longevity, and
customer satisfaction.
