MSME Registration

The Indian government offers MSME registration to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in order to assist them in receiving benefits that will help establish and grow their businesses. Obtaining the MSME registration is not obligatory; however, it can be advantageous as it provides a range of benefits related to setting up the business, taxation, credit facilities, loans, and more. The MSME registration process is entirely online and can be completed via the Udyam registration portal.
