We love the potential that entrepreneurship holds. Entrepreneurship is not only about business ownership. It’s an attitude. It identifies a problem, seeks a solution and then ‘makes it happen’. Entrepreneurship is found in business owners, corporate employees, government, religious institutions, civil society and you. It’s a choice to act for a better future. The biggest challenge facing our count
ry today remains job creation. The inability of a person to find decent work and provide for themselves and their families erodes the fabric of his/her self-worth and value. Growing small businesses are the greatest source of job creation which means that we need more growing small businesses. In our economy, growing small businesses means working with big businesses. Both need each other. Big businesses need competitive supply chains, a stable investment environment and a prosperous nation. Small businesses need steady and reliable customers and an opportunity to innovate their services to grow. In achieving this, growing small businesses create jobs, increase their contribution to the fiscus and celebrate the potential of human achievement all to the benefit of big business customers. We work with big businesses to develop Enterprise and Supplier Development solutions aligned to their future growth strategy. Our solutions are specific to each business, include the sourcing, selection, funding and development of growing SME suppliers delivered on commercial terms that are the best in South Africa. Our work with big business enables us to work with growing small business suppliers. Here, we focus on the entrepreneurs driving and building their growing businesses. We work with you, the entrepreneur, to build skill and scale at a standard that meets big business service level agreements. As your small, growing business gains access into big business supply chains, we include a funding solution to support your growth. Beyond working with you to build your growing small business into a successful corporate supplier, we work with you to build your business into your greatest wealth generator for you and your family. We call this an Assets of Value. Working together, big and small businesses benefit each other directly and indirectly. Working together, big and small businesses grow our economy and our country. It’s this that makes us do what we do!
