One of the most challenging factors that have hindered the growth of SMEs globally has been the inability to pool financial resources together. As such, performance of SMEs has been dwindling across continents over the years, leading to the high mortality rate of businesses in the sector. However, one major obstacle that hamper SME growth is access to finance. Thus, this study investigated the effect of Bootstrapping on the performance of Small and Medium Enterprises in South-West, Nigeria. The study adopted survey research design and population of the study comprised 14, 527 owner/managers of small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) enterprises in Lagos and Oyo States. The study utilized stratified simple random sampling technique while sample size of 750 owner/managers of SMEs were enumerated using Cochran’s (1977) formula and 86.4% response rate was achieved while data was analyzed using regression method. The findings revealed that bootstrapping dimensions had significant effect on performance of SMEs in South-West, Nigeria (Adj. R2 = 0.219; F (5, 642) = 37.234, p < 0.05).
