Empowering Small Businesses with Funding Readiness and Practical Skills
In partnership with organisations such as the National Empowerment Fund (NEF), an institution dedicated to growing Black economic participation, and national programmes that include funding readiness and capacity-building initiatives, Jalusi equips entrepreneurs with practical business knowledge and readiness for investment and compliance. These collaborative programmes help participating businesses build strong operational structures, refine their strategies, and meet key criteria that drive investor confidence and funding success.
Jalusi’s work in funding readiness includes structured training and mentorship, often delivered over multi-month cycles, where entrepreneurs gain essential insights into business planning, financial literacy, governance, and compliance. Preparing them to confidently approach formal funders and state-linked programmes.
This funding-ready focus also aligns with broader national priorities recognised by entities like the South African Revenue Service (SARS), which emphasises formal compliance and systems readiness as critical components of small business sustainability.
