This article contributes to the development of a national draft policy for the Micro and Small to Medium size Enterprises (MSME) for the Ministry of Small to Medium Enterprise and Cooperative Development of Zimbabwe. The focus of this study was to collect information to enhance existing strategies geared at effectively implementing MSME registration, licensing and operations. A survey incorporating observations and semi-structured interviews was conducted amongst fifty entrepreneurs running MSMEs at the Market Square; a City of Harare designated business area. Findings from this survey showed that the business entrepreneurs had no infrastructure to work from, as they have to work in the open and are exposed to the vagaries of the harsh weather conditions resulting in poor revenues. They are neither registered nor licensed. The findings of the study confirmed the importance of formulating MSME formalization strategies as recommended by 2012 Fin Scope Survey Report and the 1998 ILO Geneva Conference Recommendation 189. The study recommends incorporation of proposed strategies into the Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprises and Cooperative Development policy draft.
