The Local Enterprise Authority (LEA) has embarked on a national initiative to register informal and formal SMMEs operating in Botswana. The main objective of the registration exercise is to develop a centralized database of all trading SMME businesses countrywide; which will inform the development of targeted support programmes and policies that will effectively benefit the SMME sector.

Registration will be done online at:  https://smeregistration.lea.co.bw OR by dialing *165# on mobile phones. In order to facilitate decision making on availing COVID-19 relief, informal sector businesses are required to have registered by 31^st May 2020. In future, SMME business development support by Government will only be availed to those registered on the SMME database, therefore SMMEs are encouraged to continue registering beyond    31^st May 2020.
