Description
Join us for the SME Launch webinar on November 12, 2024, at 10 AM. This initiative aims to empower small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by providing essential resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities to help businesses thrive in a competitive landscape. In South Africa, the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) sees an average of approximately 50 000 new companies registered each month.
This influx highlights the entrepreneurial spirit in the country but also underscores the challenges many new businesses face in their early stages. Despite the excitement of registering a new company, many entrepreneurs struggle due to a lack of knowledge about the complexities involved in running a business, including regulatory requirements, financial obligations, and access to mentorship.
The SME Launch Initiative addresses these challenges by offering a safe space for new business owners to gain essential knowledge and skills. Participants will connect with mentors and access tailored resources, fostering an environment that encourages learning and networking.
