Abstract. This paper is concerned with the stabilisation of finite dimensional stochastic delay differential equation of the form

\begin{displaymath}x'(t) = f_{1}\big( t, x(t),x(t-\tau_{1}(t),...,x(t-\tau_{n}(t))) + \int^{t}_{t-\tau_{0}(t)} f_{2}(s,t,x(s))ds, \qquad t\geq 0,\end{displaymath}

where $n\in \mathbf{N}$, $f_1 \in C(\mathbf{R} ^ + \times (\mathbf{R} ^d )^{n + 1} ;\mathbf{R} ^d )$, $f_2 \in C(\mathbf{R} ^ + \times \mathbf{R} ^ + \times \mathbf{R} ^d ;\mathbf{R} ^d )$. Under more general conditions, we show that a linear multiplicative noise can always stabilise a general finite-dimensional functional differential equation whenever the delay is sufficiently small. Our results complement and improve existing results, and are also in line with the results of Appleby [1] which in itself generalised some well known results in the literature.
