The study agrees with Mwania, (2011) and Kinyua, (2014) that banks affects performance of small industries. Financial support is key in any business and most of the reviewed studies do talk about it. Unfortunately, it is notable that banks alone cannot make small industries successful. As such there is a government which is a regulator of the business environment and both industries and banks have to comply with the set of laws and regulation in the policies given.
