Our Mission
To uplift communities and accelerate emerging market growth by establishing, strengthening, and growing
BIG small Businesses as vehicles to overcome systemic barriers to SMME growth, sustainability, and
bankability.
Our Vision
A large and growing number of BIGsmall Businesses (previously referred to as “SMME Collectives”), in agriculture, construction, and other prioritized sectors, delivering corporate-level profitability that
economically sustains communities.
Our Story
Subsequent surveys have included input from 6,712 businesses; and have underlined the opportunity for SMMEs to leverage (out of their difficult circumstances) by mirroring the risk profile of corporate counterparts.
OUR WORK
SMME Collective Example: Taung Co-Op
A SMME Collective is a business which partners SMMEs with massive corporates. For example, the Taung-Co-Op is an SMME Collective which partnered emerging farmers from the Taung area and Agriqua, a wholly owned subsidiary of agriculture corporate GWK. The Taung Co-Op, which has profitably operated since 2019, provide the member farmers with access to credit, bulk input prices, off-take agreements, training, mentoring, precision farming and scientific crop cycle planning.
