Incubation Programmes

• Business Planning

• Many spirant entrepreneurs, as well as many SME’s already in business, believe business planning to be a process conducted once before the forming of the business. On the contrary, business plans should be updated documents that guide the business towards its targeted goals. The business plan should not only include the company structure but also include the projects and plans of implementation of those projects, ultimately blueprinting the plans for driving the company towards success.

• Incubates will receive a free business planning consultation where their businesses will be analyzed and recommendations made. They will receive the opportunity to have a professional business plan and implementation plan done at preferential rates.

• A dedicated business planning consultant will be allocated to incubate’ businesses who will be charged with guiding the SMMEs through the start and intermediate stages of the business formation cycle, thus greatly improving the chances of success of the incubated enterprises.

One of the most important traits a successful entrepreneur needs to have is attitudinal. Because of this fact, we have established a leadership development programme recognizing that youth business people and entrepreneurs need to possess leadership skills which will see them leading their businesses from inception to success.

We recognize the importance of mentorship as a platform for the growth of youth business people as well as other aspirant entrepreneurs. Through that need we have a mentorship programme wherein incubates will be able to receive mentoring from successful and inspired business people, who will share their real-life experiences with the incubates as well as assist them to solve their business problems.

• The financial quotient of the entrepreneur is critical in determining factors of business success. This entails that apart from entrepreneurs being knowledgeable in the core aspects of their product and business, it is critically important for them to be financially literate. This will enable them to handle their finances with increased confidence and effectiveness.
