Use them to prepare your paperwork, then follow the prompts and conditions for your own application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Register with CIPA OBRS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cipa.co.bw\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CIPA<\/a> to find the online registration route. Confirm the entity type and any name reservation required. Get the proposed name and the entity and owner details ready before opening the application. Review the displayed charges before paying. When the filing is complete, save the receipt and any certificate or extract issued. If a name or detail is rejected, read the portal&#8217;s feedback and correct the affected field before retrying. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cipa.co.bw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/OBRS-Fees.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check CIPA\u2019s published OBRS fee schedule<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set up your PPRA supplier profile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open <a href=\"https:\/\/ipms.ppadb.co.bw\/aboutIPMS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PPRA\u2019s IPMS portal<\/a> and identify the supplier or contractor service you need. Check that your registration details match your entity records. Read the procurement notice separately for the required category, documents, deadlines and submission route. If a document or category is questioned, use the portal\u2019s official support route and keep the query reference. A supplier profile and a tender submission are separate steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prepare a CEDA application<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check the product that fits your activity and the current document requirements. For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ceda.co.bw\/chema-chema\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chema Chema<\/a>, use CEDA\u2019s published eligibility and application instructions. Separate startup purchases from working capital in your budget and attach the evidence the product requests. Save the submission reference and the exact list of documents supplied. If the portal asks for another document, check the product requirements and use CEDA\u2019s official route for clarification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/evokedigital.co.bw\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/evoke-calculators\/botswana-sme-compliance-tender-checklist.pdf\">Download the free Botswana SME Compliance and Tender Checklist PDF<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"evoke-business-enquiries\">Work with eVoke Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Need a website, a calculator for your customers or a better way to handle online enquiries?
