Although small and medium enterprises (SMEs) contribute significantly to Nigeria's socio-economic and political development, most of the country's SMEs no longer operate by their fifth anniversary. Many owners lack knowledge of the financial strategies required for the long-term performance and growth of their enterprise. The aim of this qualitative multiple case study was to gain an in-depth understanding of financial strategies that SMEs owner-managers can adopt to enhance the sustainability of their business operations in Nigeria. This study was grounded in entrepreneurship theory and Porter's model of competitive strategy. Qualitative data from multiple sources, including semi structured interviews, scholarly works, and observational field notes, were collected. The participants were 3 SME owner-managers who employ fewer than 200 employees within the agriculture sector. Thematic analysis of data produced five themes that explained the financial strategy practices of SME owner-managers: using available financing options, entrenching strategic financial practices, embracing entrepreneurial resilience, negotiating challenges, and taking advantage of technology. The findings revealed the need for SME owner-managers to be dynamic in their financial strategy practices. By doing so, SME owner-managers may be able to sustain their businesses, which may promote positive social change through job creation, wealth distribution, technological innovation, grass-root development, and enhancement of gross domestic product.

This study was grounded in entrepreneurship theory and Porter's model of competitive strategy. Qualitative data from multiple sources, including semi structured interviews, scholarly works, and observational field notes, were collected. The participants were six SME owner-managers who employ fewer than 200 employees within the education and accounting/consulting service sectors. Thematic analysis of data produced five themes that explained the financial strategy practices of SME owner-managers: maintaining strategic financial practices, acquisition of basic financial cum business knowledge, establish sound financial reporting system, articulating challenges of SMEs, and embracing entrepreneurial resilience. The findings revealed the need for SME owner-managers to embrace dynamism in their financial strategy practices. By doing so, SME owner-managers may be able to sustain their businesses, which may promote positive social change through job creation, wealth distribution, technological innovation, grassroots development, and enhancement of gross domestic product.

Since early 1960s Nigeria, economy has been unstable and monolithic, centered on crude oil production and export. Instability of Nigeria economy is contributory to why only less than 20 percent small startup businesses survive the first five years. In spite of the unstable business environment, owners created approximately 17.3 million small businesses across Nigeria and employed a total of approximately thirty-two million workers with contribution of about 45 percent to the GDP. Based on theory of constraints, the purpose of this qualitative multiple-case study was to explore strategies required by some small business owners to survive Nigerias unstable economy beyond five years. Data were collected through semistructured interviews with three small business owners who had succeeded in business beyond the first five years from three different regions in Nigeria. The business strategies may help prospective and existing Nigerian small business owners improve profit and sustain business for survival beyond five years.
