“The SMME Opportunity Roadshow is a valuable educational event that helps SMMEs discover how to implement a winning business model that will create jobs and improve employee skills,” says Abigail Botha, event manager at Cape Media, organisers of the SMME Opportunity Roadshows.

“We understand the difficult environment in which small businesses have to operate and the challenges they endure. However, we believe that successful entrepreneurs are needed to build a strong and thriving economy in South Africa and this is why we want to provide them with the vital resources needed to transform their drive, passion and ambition into a sustainable business.”

Masterclasses will cover:

  • Fundamentals of sustaining & growing SMMEs
