lack of employment opportunities .The rapid population growth ,resulting in addition to the
civilian force is posing a great threat to the economic development process of the country.

To generate employment opportunities development of various type of entrepreneur can play a


vial role for the economic development of the country. To establish enterprise, emphasize should
be given to the development of entrepreneurship. Without entrepreneurship development,
process will not see the face of success. lack of entrepreneur knowledge will create barrier to the

environment. An essential element in economic environment is capital. Capital is the most
impartment factor of production for the establishment of an entrepreneur. Increase in capital
investment in. results in increase in profits which help in acceleration the processes of capital
formation.

Financial institutions play an important role in this regard. Most of the time entrepreneurs
borrow resources for the setting up of their entrepreneurs to set up an industry. Financial
institutions and banks provide facilities in the form of finance, Purchase of land, liability of fixed
asset, plant and machinery and hire purses in statements etc.

Various types of financial institution provide financial investment to the entrepreneur provide

more accurate results.
