DO YOU WANT TO TAKE YOUR BUSINESS TO NEW HEIGHTS?

The SAB Foundation Tholoana Enterprise Programme is committed to supporting entrepreneurs to build viable, growing and sustainable businesses that can create jobs. We are looking for entrepreneurs who are committed to boosting their growth and achieving new levels of success.

Since 2015, this innovative and life-changing programme has delivered exceptional results for hundreds of entrepreneurs all over the country and across multiple business sectors.

The SAB Foundation Tholoana Enterprise Programme supports entrepreneurs to become successful and resilient business owners through extensive entrepreneurial skills development, mentorship and access to markets, finance and practical business tools and templates. Through connections to peers around the country, we build a powerful network of opportunities for participants long after the programme has ended.

The programme prioritises entrepreneurial ventures that are owned and managed by historically
disadvantaged groups (i.e. black people, women, youth, people living with disabilities and those living in
rural areas) so as to help redress socio-economic challenges faced by these marginalised groups.
