Funding Readiness

There are many funding institutions in South Africa willing and prepared to fund township and rural businesses, but most entrepreneurs are not ready or do not qualify for funding.

We have developed specialized tools and programs that assist and prepare entrepreneurs to qualify for funding by:

  • Developing comprehensive business plans
  • Improving financial management systems
  • Building creditworthiness
  • Creating investor-ready documentation

Technology Access

Without the presence of the cell phone, computer, or Internet, life would be very different. To begin with, people would be unable to deliver urgent messages promptly. Because cell phones allow people to talk instantly, communication would be significantly improved.

Silomotion, in partnership with Coolisa & ekasi entrepreneurs, is making sure that township and rural entrepreneurs stay in touch with the latest technology and trends by:

  • Providing access to digital tools and platforms
  • Offering technology training programs
  • Facilitating affordable technology solutions
  • Creating digital marketplaces for local businesses
