National Gazelles window now open

We are looking for the next group of SMEs to take part in the Seda National Gazelles SME acceleration programme. This three-year growth-focused programme offers a blend of financial and non-financial support (including a R1-m capacity-building grant) to a group of 40 businesses. Businesses must have a minimum turnover of R1m, have been trading for more than two years and have at least two employees. Applications close on 22 November, 2016. Shortlisted businesses will then be invited to attend a panel interview for the final selection, which is undertaken by KPMG and EY, with the final results audited by Sizwe Ntsaluba Gobodo. Go to www.nationalgazelles.org.za to apply yourself, or to nominate a business which may be interested.
