Paving the way for SMME Development

As the Eastern Cape SMME Trust we are committed to walking the journey with our various stakeholders from small informal businesses, to high-growth start-ups and finally to sustainable enterprises.

We understand that small business owners (especially coming from previously disadvantaged backgrounds) often find it challenging to build a sustainable and resilient business that is also attractive to funders especially for asset and capital growth.

The Eastern Cape SMME Trust aims to bridge the gap between funding and business support services to ultimately improve the sustainability of SMME’s and their ability to create sustainable employment.
