Dear Sir
I am Mosiuoa Raliopane of Tshivasa Manufacturus in Kroonstad in the Free State Province, South Africa. My company was registered with the then CIPRO and current CIPC in 2006,registered a fashion brand in 2009 and registered as Importer & Exporter in 2010.
Tshivasa Manufacturus is a Consortium of industrial manufacturing sectors. Currently we are piloting screen printing & embroidery sector of our divert industries. In 2011 we approached Be Beers’ Zimele Business Hub Fund for financial assistance to start the operations and we were given a loan to buy some starter kit equipment.
I need some additional machines & training for growing demand for some services which I do not have machinery & equipment to provide for such. I also need some training for administration & technical skills.
I believe the BBSDP is a very great initiative by our government to help improve and develop our small business, hope Tshivasa will qualify as we even have plans to recycle textile and this sector only can create between 100 and 1000 jobs, mainly for the unskilled poverty stricken youth & women.
Regards.

Hi there. My wife owns a convenience store with an in house bakery. The bakery produces some of the best confectionery around and has just started manufacturing curry pies. We want to start growing the bakery side of the business by opening conveniently located bakery outlets supplying doughnuts, pies and pizza, which will all be supplied from a central kitchen. We hope to create at least 10 permanent positions within the first year. We require funding to acquire equipment, develop some form of branding, upgrade our POS system, invest in staff training and development, etc. The business is 8years in existence, turns over in excess of R8ml annually, is Indian female owned, has a staff compliment of 2 Indian males, 3 African males, and 5 African females.

Hi Kim,
I apologies for hijacking your conversation with Thando, but in most cases around that time you would have bought a machine that cost probably R500k so how will the grant help, will they give you the grant 50% in retrospective of what you have spent already?

Good Day,
I really hope you can help, I own a signage company that specialse in vehicle wrapping and all types of branding, as many might know this is a very competitive industry and if you dont have the correct tools to manufacture or print your signs you wont make it in the industry unless you make a minimum profit. running a business to keep your head above water is not the way you want to build a successful business.
MLZ Wrap Studio has been trading for close to 7 years and have been growing, however for us to keep up with the market trends we need to have our own equipment, but the costing of the large format printers are costly, and we just cannot afford to purchase one. Does the grant offer assistance with large format printers and computer to run the machine? if yes, how do i go about applying for to get this grant.?
Looking forward to your response.
Many Thanks
