2. Cottage, Small, Micro, and Medium-Sized
Enterprises (CSMME) Definition
CSMME stands for Cottage, Small, Micro, and Medium-Sized Enterprises. These companies have a small
market share, little capital, and few employees
The meaning of "cottage industry" in Bangladesh refers to the customary artisanship of rural communities that
work to create a variety of household items using locally sourced raw materials and creative skills that have been
passed down through the generations.
A cottage industry is defined as a small-scale industrial unit run by family members, either full-time or part-
time, with a worker count of no more than twenty, according to the Bangladesh Small and Cottage Industries
Corporation (BSCIC).
The owner is the only decision-maker, and the company is primarily run by a family or small group of people.
Micro-businesses are informal sector companies that have a few things in common: they are family-owned,
easily accessed, operate on a small scale, prioritize labour-intensive and low-level technology, depend on local
resources, hire people without formal education, and function in an unregulated, competitive market.
