The sessions will also look at traditional banking, support such as digital payment solutions, access to new markets, merchant solutions, enterprise and supplier development and even renewable energy financing to empower township businesses to scale sustainably.

The programme will expand to other provinces, including Free State, Western Cape, KZN, Eastern Cape and Northern Cape, among others. 

“We recognise the incredible entrepreneurial spirit that exists across Mpumalanga, but we also know that passion alone is not enough to ensure long-term success,” said Fuad Choonara, the bank’s provincial manager of Enterprise Banking for Business & Commercial Banking. 

“Whether starting, managing, or growing their operations, emerging entrepreneurs need access to the right knowledge, networks and support. Through this programme, we are supporting them with the tools to build resilient businesses that can thrive and uplift their communities.”

The event will be held at Emnotweni Casino in Mbombela. Township business owners can register on this link Pushispan registration | Standard Bank
