Call for Applications: MSME Grant Programme

The focus areas include MSME grant funding applications, regulatory compliance, verification of certificates of Good Standing, and administrative requirements related to National Health Insurance, Social Security, and Inland Revenue documentation.

The focus areas include MSME grant funding access, application submission procedures, regulatory compliance verification, certificates of Good Standing requirements, and validation of National Health Insurance, Social Security, and Inland Revenue documentation.

The Trade Department is encouraging MSMEs to apply for the grant programme and has also issued guidance for applicants who have already submitted their applications. All applicants are required to ensure that their certificates of Good Standing for National Health Insurance (NHI), Social Security (SS), Inland Revenue (IRD), or any approved payment plans submitted as part of the application process remain valid and up to date.

The documentation must be current and dated within six months. This requirement applies to both new applicants and those who have already applied. Applicants whose certificates or payment plans exceed the six-month validity period are instructed to contact the relevant agencies in order to obtain updated documentation.

The programme places emphasis on proper verification of financial and compliance records to ensure eligibility and smooth processing of applications. Maintaining valid documentation is essential for confirming the standing of MSMEs within the required regulatory framework.

Applicants are advised to review their submitted documents carefully and ensure that all required certificates meet the specified validity conditions. Failure to provide updated documentation may affect the assessment of applications under the MSME Grant Programme
