Among many reasons for micro and small business failures or slow growth is lack ofrnmanagement skills in smaller businesses has been highlighted as a contributory factor. Inrnrecognition of this, training provision and management development have dominated muchrnof the policy debate on micro and small enterprise development since late 1980â€™s. Nornresearch has given theoretical explanations about business development service inrnorganization and the impact of such efforts even though researchers assume that managementrndevelopment and training can be directly related to performance and success of business. Thernfocus has always been as a holistic intervention. Due to such kind of intervention, the impactrnof training could not be evaluated.rnThis empirical study investigates the perceptions of the enterprise owners about variousrndevelopment indicators and their added value due to the intervention of businessrndevelopment services. The analysis is based on the result of a sample survey of 195 micrornand small enterprises in 12 towns of the Amhara National Regional State. Furthermore, tornevaluate the impact of Business Development Service (BDS) intervention on MSEs, arnconsiderable sample size of non-business persons and government bodies, other than Micrornand Small Enterprise Development agency workers, were included in the survey.rnIt is found that the problems that MSEs face are not only financial and working place but alsorna problem of transparency on business regulation, finance regulation and important businessrninformation, inability to convince the authorized bodies and bureaucracy problems. Since thernintroduction of BDS in the form of spot advice is an attempt to alleviate such kind ofrnproblems, the study indicates that access to credit scheme alone could not make enterprisesrnprofitable and the introduction of minimum charge of market places are not really influentialrnfor business success
