About the BASA Awards

The BASA Awards are established to celebrate and promote small businesses for their notable efforts in growing and building the economy of the country and the world at large. The Awards are fair and only allow small businesses to compete fairly with each other. This competition is for small businesses to gain recognition and help them strengthen their connection with their existing or potential clients. There is no favoritism or nepotism in the BASA Awards.

The panel of Judges comprises entrepreneurs and industry experts who are adept at conducting fair evaluations of entries. All entries are assessed based on the track record of their performance; there is no nepotism, favoritism, or influence from large companies. Entrants can check the judges’ comments on their nominations to ensure  they understand  what the judges want for the 2024 BASA.
