What Registered MSMEs Receive
Upon successful verification and approval, each business is formally recognised in the national register and issued two official documents.
MSME Identity Card
A professional ID card bearing the business name, owner's details, unique registration number, and a scannable QR code for instant verification.
Certificate of Registration
An official landscape certificate with the business's registration details, state and LGA information, and a QR-verifiable seal of authenticity.
