Community Transformation Programme

Let us grow together!

Letsema - Now is the time for Business South Africa to unite behind our common purpose of restoring our economy and growing a prosperous future for us all.

Bringing you into the 4IR era:

Technology enables you to work on your business instead of working in your business. We help you to have better control of your stock; manage your cash flow, and be more relevant to your customers and their purchase behaviour. There are only two ways to improve the profitability of your business:

Reduce your expenditure. Limiting stock losses is one of the key focus areas to curb unnecessary expenditure.

Improve your turnover and profit margins. Understanding your consumer market through insight gained from real-time data, allows you to increase your sales and expand on your product offering

Learn from the proffesionals:

Each participating SME is assigned to a Business Development Facilitator.
They are there to mentor and support the business owners with the implementation of the 4IR technology; facilitate and moderation of the training program; encourage networking opportunities; implement the marketing and sales strategies, and assist with funding & financing applications.

Link up with large business:

The eco-system developed by CTAP, and its strategic partners created a networking platform between large- and small-scale businesses to support procurement, distribution, professional services as well as all other business-to-business activities.
GrowSA, as a strategic partner, links the participating SMEs to Chambers of Commerce and various business forums throughout South Africa.

Market like a pro:

Launching the “Buy Local” marketing campaign as well as other advertising initiatives to promote both participating Brands as well as the FMCG SME outlets on localised media platforms.
SMEs will be able to advertise on local television and radio stations through the “Buy Local” marketing campaigns at competitive and affordable rates.
Online promotions as well as targeted sales campaigns through the loyalty program, will strengthen the campaign and encourage consumer loyalty.

Funding and Finance:

Should you require capital for expansion purposes or simply to buy stock in bulk, our Business Development Facilitators will assist you through the process of acquiring the capital you need.
Various routes can be followed, such as applying for grants, funding from corporates, collective co-op schemes supporting bulk buying and backed by specific brands; conventional financing, and business funding incentives.
The role of the Business Development facilitators is to ensure the most cost-efficient and affordable process was followed.
