Abstract: The study sought to identify the effect of the age of owner on the small scale enterprise performance in Kampala, Uganda. This study was carried out using a sample of 409 legally registered small businesses in Kampala, which are managed by their owners. Data was collected using a four point Likert scale questionnaire to measure nonfinancial performance. The hypothesis: (i) there is a significant difference between the performance of older and younger small business owners, and (ii) There is a significant relationship between age of owner and performance of small business. Using the potent parametric statistical techniques such as one way ANOVA, Pearson’s Linear Correlations Coefficient (PLCC) and a simple regression analysis, the findings suggest that: (i) there is a significant difference between the performance of older and younger small business owners and (ii) there is no significant relationship between age of owner and performance of small business.
