Businesses Don't Fail, Entrepreneurs Give Up

We Are Each Other's Best Teachers

Issue: 2 - 6 March 2020

When was the last time you showed your BATTLE SCARS or shared SURVIVAL TIPS with others on this journey? Why is sharing important? Because there is so much to learn from each other. Hearing about someone else’s experience as an entrepreneur can show you what to do, and most importantly, help us to realise that we are NOT ALONE. This is why we have built this COMMUNITY .... This week is dedicated to our readers, entrepreneurs, experts and thought leaders - everyone who has not been afraid to share their secrets to success, or been selfish with information, as well as brave enough to share their losses so we could learn from them.   

Sometimes your words are all many entrepreneurs have to keep going.

Here is Honesty and Courage at its BEST:

 Learn Everything About Purchase Order Funding: 

In March, Luyanda Jafta from The People's Fund will be answering all your FAQs about Purchase Order Funding, from how to apply to who qualifies.Q: What is purchase order funding?

A: Purchase order funding is another way of saying working capital finance.

You as a small business owner receive an order from a client. The client agrees to only pay you 30 days after you have invoiced them and you can only invoice them once you have delivered.

Many times you need capital to complete the order, either to buy raw materials or to source the goods. We would provide the capital required and you would pay us back once your client pays you.
