MSME guidance profiles you can adapt when applying for in-kind support.
Industrial
A small recycling workshop that cleans, dries, grinds and sieves waste glass into powder and granules for anti-slip floors, road works and building materials.
A small workshop that cuts and sews canopies and assembles them on ready-made frames to sell umbrellas for men, women and children to shops and wholesalers.
Services
A small office that sends skilled technicians to homes for plumbing and electrical repairs and water tank cleaning. It needs tools and trust, not stock.
Agricultural
Grow fresh green fodder from barley seed in 7 to 8 days on trays and shelves, without soil and with little water, and sell it to nearby livestock keepers all year.
Growing hardy desert jojoba shrubs on dry or salty land to sell their oil-rich seeds. A long-term crop that starts yielding in year four.
A small workshop built around a laser engraving machine, making wooden and acrylic gifts, decor, wedding cards, trophies and promotional items to order or for resale.
Food
A small unit that dries fresh peas, beans, cowpeas and broad beans with hot air so they can be sold all year, not only in season.
A home-run service that shares a fast internet line wirelessly with about 50 nearby homes for a low monthly fee, where local rules allow it.
Growing perennial panicum grass as a high-protein green fodder that is cut every 25 to 30 days for years, as a cheaper alternative to alfalfa and barley.
A closed-loop unit on a roof or small plot that raises fish and grows vegetables and strawberries together: fish waste feeds the plants and the plants clean the water.
Growing aromatic sage on a small plot, then drying and packing the leaves for herbalists, shops and online buyers, with oil distilling as a later option.
A home-based business that rewinds large industrial thread cones into small sewing spools with a winding machine, then packs and sells them to tailors and shops.
