Is Your Business Ready for Funding?

A Simple Tool for South African SMEs

SMEs like you are key to driving job creation and economic growth in South Africa. There are many obstacles on the road to business success, but the lack of access to funding remains one of the most significant SME growth inhibitors.

We want to help you find out where your business is positioned on this quest to find funding, but before you continue, stop to consider these essential questions.

Three questions to answer honestly before embarking on a funding journey:

  1. What problem are you solving that customers will pay for?
  2. Is your business offering innovative and well aligned with market trends to attract funders?
  3. Are you ready to embrace the accountability that funding brings?
