In an effort to reduce errors on municipal forms and improve service delivery, Overstrand Municipality is encouraging all Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) operating within the region to register on its online SMME Development Database.
This database aims to support the vibrant community of entrepreneurs and small business owners across the Overstrand - from emerging contractors, plumbers, and electricians to spaza shop owners, co-operatives, and youth-led start-ups. It also helps ensure that local enterprises are considered for upcoming development projects and support programmes.
