Soweto Business Access and its programmes

SBA has established the Suppliers Circle, comprised by a country-wide network of black entrepreneurs, crosscutting a wide range of industry sectors, including the rural based agricultural, with the view of striving towards achieving the following strategic objectives;

Develop a comprehensive/multi-sectorial database of active Suppliers Circle members, who seek development, market presence, and business growth opportunities.

Identify and address business capacity related challenges, including financial support opportunities, and implement relevant intervention strategies, towards being efficiently supplier-ready;

Develop strategic partnerships with established/mainstream businesses, with the view of connecting them with the innovative and equally competitive products offered by our Suppliers Circle members, and thus creating new market entry channels and brand promotion platforms for black SMME’s.

Implement an annual events management programme in order to enhance product marketing and market access opportunities.

Implement a communication and stakeholder engagement platform, through a combination of strategic platforms, which include;

On-going Suppliers Circle Talks, which provide for information sharing, continuous learning and peer engagement opportunities.

The effective use of a mix of media platforms, including social media platforms, our soon to be introduced broadcast media centre, as well as our partnership with Soweto TV.
