The result of multiple linear regression analysis indicated that predictors (access to finance, BDS training, business coaching services, and access to the market) had a statistically significant effect on the growth potential of Micro and Small Enterprises in Bahir Dar City Administration at 5% of significant level and all these four predictors collectively explain 65.4 percent of the variation in growth of MSEs.
