In Mitchells Plain since 2022 and with the help of RLabs, 83 small businesses have been empowered with the skills and support they need to succeed,\u201d says Premier Alan Winde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SMME Booster Fund provides financial support to organisations that implement business development support projects and\/or programmes aimed at growing and developing SMMEs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe will continue to offer SMMEs support wherever we can. Engaging with these business owners today gave me so much hope. These bright, ambitious entrepreneurs are crucial to our collective job creation efforts and they are destined to go far,\u201d added Premier Winde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All manner of entrepreneurs can access the fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-boost-for-locals\">Boost for locals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Chanell Marthinussen started MyPocketHealth in 2020. It is a virtual care platform that connects patients to healthcare providers. She said: \u201cThe fund helped us access about 30 other businesses which allowed us to expand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Third Element Holdings is a waste management business that got up-and-running in 2019. With assistance from the fund, owner Dylan Botes has been able to purchase more equipment. \u201cI am very grateful for all the WCG and its fund has done to help us. Thank you so much,\u201d he told Premier Winde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fund focuses on projects and programmes that support Western Cape-based SMMEs and leverages a co-funding implementation model to encourage collaboration and partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am incredibly proud of the work done through the SMME Booster Fund and the invaluable contributions it has made to supporting and enabling our SMMEs. Over the last five years since 2019, we have helped over 950 SMMEs, sustaining 4 977 jobs, dedicating R85,5 million to these essential engines of economic growth and job creation,\u201d says provincial minister of finance and economic opportunities, Mireille Wenger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The support provided by the Fund enables the selected organisations to enhance their projects and programmes with an added element of technical support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-various-categories\">Various categories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fund has supported projects and programmes that focus on the following categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Category 1: Export Development<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Category 2: Women-owned Business<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Category 3: Youth-owned Businesses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Category 4: Township-based Businesses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Business development support offered by the Fund includes training, mentoring, coaching, financial planning, assisting with compliance, providing financial assistance, facilitating access to finance, providing technical support in the form of equipment, specialised software and licensing etc. The financial support from the SMME Booster Fund will focus only on the technical support aspect of the project and\/or programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The roll-out of the other aspects such as training, mentoring, coaching and access to market interventions is to be funded by the organisation applying for funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are more determined than ever to make the Western Cape the easiest place to do business in the country, and even on the continent. We have more work to do but with the successes of the SMME Booster Fund we are on to a great thing and will continue to work with the private sector, big and small, to achieve the kind of break-out economic growth we need to create thousands of new jobs, lifting people out of poverty and into prosperity in the Western Cape and South Africa,\u201d concluded Wenger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
