Chetumal, Quintana Roo — The state’s Economic Development Department (SEDE) has opened registration for a program that provides up to 30,000 pesos in equipment to micro-businesses, as part of an effort to boost competitiveness and financial inclusion.
The Business Strengthening for Financial Inclusion program targets individuals with business activities and legally constituted companies engaged in commerce, industry, or services within Quintana Roo. Up to 70 businesses across the state’s 11 municipalities will be selected.
The program is a collaboration between SEDE and the civil organization Konsultan del Caribe Sociedad Civil. It includes a comprehensive process of training and support, not just equipment delivery.
Program Stages
Selected businesses must complete four mandatory stages before receiving the in-kind benefit:
- Financial diagnosis: Specialists assess each company’s economic situation to identify strengths, opportunities, and risks.
- Training: A 30-hour course covering financial planning, income and expense management, financial education, small business strategies, and financial inclusion through banking tools and electronic payment systems.
- Equipment delivery: Beneficiaries receive new productive equipment worth between 25,000 and 30,000 pesos, depending on business needs and technical committee approval.
- Specialized advisory: Final evaluation and recommendations to ensure business growth and sustainability.
Eligibility and Requirements
Applicants must meet the following criteria:
- Be a natural person with business activity or a legally constituted legal entity.
- Engage in commerce, industry, or services.
- Have a tax address in Quintana Roo.
- Be of legal age and Mexican nationality.
- Not have received similar support from SEDE in the current or previous fiscal year.
Required documents include a tax status certificate from the SAT (issued within the last three months), a recent proof of address, a valid official ID, and a sworn statement declaring no prior similar support from SEDE.
How to Apply
Registration is online through the official form on SEDE’s website. Applications are open until 11:59 p.m. on July 25, 2026, on a first-come, first-served basis, provided all requirements are met.

Final results will be published on July 31, 2026, on SEDE’s official channels.
