MSME stands for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises. It is a government initiative aimed primarily at delivering benefits to medium and small-scale entrepreneurs in order to help them grow their enterprises in today's highly competitive environment.

MSME refers to any business with a revenue of less than 1,20,00,00,000. Analysts believe that these are the foundations of any country's economy. These aid the market in ensuring that wealth is distributed fairly. As a result, the Indian government provides MSMEs with several subsidies, incentives, and other benefits. The MSMED (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development) Act accomplishes this. To take advantage of these perks, a company must first register with it.

The MSME scheme gives loans to budding entrepreneurs, aiding them in establishing their firms by eliminating their financial difficulties.
