High-growth entrepreneurship entails business size expansion, improved business
performance, and innovativeness of the business. However, can entrepreneur’s potential to lead
a high-growth business be realized through trainings, especially business related types? A
large-scale survey for Nigeria on entrepreneurs is used to help provide evidence to this
question. The survey contains information for over 1000 entrepreneurs and was carried out for
three years, including the baseline year. Evidently, entrepreneurs who received some form of
business trainings during these period experienced an expansion of the number of employees
by 2 persons, an increase in innovation index by about 3 units. We also found an increase in
revenue, but the importance of this increase was mixed across the matching techniques. These
growths are mostly spurred by the new information gotten by the entrepreneurs, which will
help in improving their business operations, innovative capacity and even labour productivity.
