Access to Capital Is Not the Problem. Access to Information Is.

Most entrepreneurs don’t fail because of a lack of ambition. They stall because they don’t know where to access the funding that already exists for them. Government grants, development loans, sector incentives — billions of rands sit waiting. The problem is knowing how to unlock it.

That changes on Thursday, 30 July at the Funding Future Summit, The Zone @ Rosebank.

Hear Directly From Government Funding Experts

MYCOE Retail is proud to partner in promoting this one-day summit that brings entrepreneurs face-to-face with the institutions that hold the keys to funding.
