South Africa’s SME funding environment isn’t designed to meet the needs of the SME. These small to medium enterprises are contributing 40% of GDP and employing 60% of the country's workforce but face a R350bn funding gap because the funding models used to assess them were built for a different kind of business entirely. Many successful SMEs with proven track records are being rejected for funding that they need to expand their businesses or invest in critical infrastructure, creating a gap between the perception of success and access to credit.
