Working with dynamic black-owned SME’s in Enterprise & Supplier Development to service & supply big business supply chains for BEE points & business impact

We love the potential that entrepreneurship holds. Entrepreneurship is not only about business ownership. It’s an attitude. It identifies a problem, seeks a solution and then ‘makes it happen’. Entrepreneurship is found in business owners, corporate employees, government, religious institutions, civil society and you. It’s a choice to act for a better future. The biggest challenge facing our count

ry today remains job creation. The inability of a person to find decent work and provide for themselves and their families erodes the fabric of his/her self-worth and value. Growing small businesses are the greatest source of job creation which means that we need more growing small businesses. In our economy, growing small businesses means working with big businesses. Both need each other. Big businesses need competitive supply chains, a stable investment environment and a prosperous nation. Small businesses need steady and reliable customers and an opportunity to innovate their services to grow. In achieving this, growing small businesses create jobs, increase their contribution to the fiscus and celebrate the potential of human achievement all to the benefit of big business customers. We work with big businesses to develop Enterprise and Supplier Development solutions aligned to their future growth strategy. Our solutions are specific to each business, include the sourcing, selection, funding and development of growing SME suppliers delivered on commercial terms that are the best in South Africa. Our work with big business enables us to work with growing small business suppliers. Here, we focus on the entrepreneurs driving and building their growing businesses. We work with you, the entrepreneur, to build skill and scale at a standard that meets big business service level agreements. As your small, growing business gains access into big business supply chains, we include a funding solution to support your growth. Beyond working with you to build your growing small business into a successful corporate supplier, we work with you to build your business into your greatest wealth generator for you and your family. We call this an Assets of Value. Working together, big and small businesses benefit each other directly and indirectly. Working together, big and small businesses grow our economy and our country. It’s this that makes us do what we do!

Too many grant programmes are designed for speed and verification rather than capability. Grants bunch at year end, with limited diagnosis and little proof of use.

The fix is not complicated: plan earlier, link grants to real business needs, avoid cash where possible, pay suppliers directly, and verify how funds were applied.

Most businesses begin with expertise.
The challenge is turning that expertise into something that can grow beyond the founder.
This week's Future50 feature follows the journey of J Planet Consulting & Engineering, a business that has grown from a garage startup into a trusted engineering and manufacturing partner for South Africa's seed and feed industries.

Their story inspired this week's Growth Tip: Productise your genius.
If you find yourself solving the same customer problem repeatedly, consider how that solution could become a product supported by ongoing service.

Listen to the full feature on the East Coast Radio Coast Radio, Jacaranda 94.2 or website.

The ability to solve many different problems can help a business grow.
It can also make growth harder to sustain.

REPORT: Beyond the Tick Box. What is your ESD strategy for 2026?
South Africa’s ESD spend has exceeded R150 billion over the past five years, yet too much of it still prioritises activity over results.

Money moves, workshops are counted, vendors are registered, but the real markers of progress remain patchily measured and weakly incentivised: capability, contracts, repeat spend and retention.

This report calls for a simple pivot. Keep verification rigorous but point it squarely at outcomes that matter to firms and to the economy.
