The Business Advisory Centre (BAC) is the district mouthpiece of the National Board for Small Scale Industries (NBSSI) whose vision is to create an environment where Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) can grow and thrive, giving rise to and consolidating an enterprise culture.
The BAC is positioned to ensure that MSMEs have easy access to high quality and affordable business development support services.
