Legislation on SMEs

As per the SMEDA Act, the SME definition includes enterprises in all economic sectors. In order to avoid detailed sector-specific criteria, turnover criteria is used across sectors i.e. no differentiation between services and manufacturing sectors has been made for small enterprises, and the thresholds for small manufacturing firms also reflect small service firms.  

Medium-sized enterprises needs are defined separately from small-sized enterprises as those enterprises require different support measures and have other objectives.  The former are generally more sophisticated by nature and level of technology, while small enterprises are usually characterised by their more ‘developmental’ level of operations.  

  • A Small Enterprise is defined as an enterprise which has an annual turnover of not more than 10 million MUR  
  • A Medium Enterprise is defined as an enterprise which has an annual turnover of more than 10 million MUR but not more than 50 million MUR
