Most entrepreneurs are passionate about their business. But when it comes to applying for government funding, passion alone isn’t enough. Funders need to see structure, credibility, and a clear growth plan. The question isn’t whether funding is available — it’s whether your business is ready to receive it.
What Government Funders Actually Look For
At the Funding Future Summit on 30 July, Naomi Mtshali from the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) will walk attendees through exactly what IDC looks for in funding applications — from business viability to financial documentation. Understanding these requirements before you apply dramatically improves your chances of success.
Motlatjo Moholwa from the Gauteng Department of Economic Development will share practical insights into SMME funding criteria, eligibility requirements and how to align your business strategy with Gauteng’s economic development priorities. This is insider knowledge that most entrepreneurs never have access to.
At the summit, you will gain:
Clarity on IDC funding sectors and application requirements
Insight into Gauteng SMME grants, loans and support programmes
Practical steps to make your business funding-ready
Knowledge of legal and financial structures that funders require
Direct networking with funders, industry leaders and fellow entrepreneurs
