Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influential factors on hospitality small and medium-sized enterprises SMEs at the start-up process in a Malaysian service context. Data for this empirical investigation were gathered from a sample of hospitality SMEs. Respondents self-administered the questionnaires. A total number of 100 questionnaires were obtained in the research location. Results based on the descriptive statistics by SPSS version 21 reveal that the hospitality SMEs in Ipoh/Malaysia have favourable perceptions related to economic factor items. On the other hand, they have challenges related to legal and administrative factor items. The current study provides further contribution to hospitality management and entrepreneurship literatures and provides useful guidelines to practitioners as well.
