BTS is the grant to use when the work is about how your business runs rather than buying kit. Think hiring a consultant to restructure the company, lean management to cut waste, mentoring, productivity projects, business-process re-engineering, change management, or getting your compliance and governance in order.

The grant pays 80% of the approved cost, with the same category caps as the other SME Mauritius schemes: Rs 50,000, Rs 130,000, Rs 200,000 and Rs 250,000 depending on project size. You fund the remaining 20% yourself.

To qualify you need a registered SME with a valid trade licence, at least 51% Mauritian-national shareholding, turnover under Rs 100M, and to be CSG-compliant. Pure trading, real estate, rental and e-commerce businesses are excluded from this scheme.

Apply online at smemu.com/schemes. A clear scope of work from your chosen advisor or consultant makes the application much stronger, so line that up first.

Watch out for this

Watch out for the exclusions. If your core activity is trading, rental or e-commerce you will not qualify here, so check that your project genuinely fits the transformation theme before you spend time applying.

Who's eligible

  • Open to Mauritian citizens and residents.
  • Annual turnover must not exceed Rs 100,000,000.

How to apply

Apply online via SME Mauritius (smemu.com/schemes).
