NSIC Registration, Certificate & SPRS Services

What is NSIC Registration and the NSIC Certificate?

NSIC (National Small Industries Corporation) Registration is a vital certification provided to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in India. It's a government initiative designed to empower and promote small businesses by offering them a range of benefits and opportunities.

Obtaining an NSIC certificate through the NSIC Single Point Registration Scheme (SPRS) enables MSMEs to participate in government tenders, access crucial credit facilities, and avail various schemes offered by the government. This NSIC registration serves as undeniable proof of authenticity and credibility for small businesses when engaging with government departments and large corporations.

The NSIC certificate is typically valid for two years and can be renewed. NSIC also offers performance and credit ratings to registered enterprises, significantly aiding them in securing loans from banks and financial institutions. Our services ensure a smooth process for your NSIC registration.
