Trying to raise funds for a family business and found it to be an impossible task

This week we are deviating slightly from personal finance to focus on SME's who often struggle on how to raise funds through government incentive programs. Nadia and Zahra Rawjee, Directors of Uzenzele went through this situation of trying to raise funds for a family business and found it to be an impossible task. For this reason, they realised there was a need to understand the options of how to achieve this through institutions such as the Department of Trade and Industry, and the Industrial Development Corporation.
