Challenges/Needs:
THE CHALLENGES.
• The day the client was introduced to Seda.
Client was first on-boarded as Sedfa client in October 2024, following the business successful application to participate in the Exxaro-Sedfa Pitch for Funding competition. Assessment of the business was then conducted using the Small Business Assessment Tool (SBAT) and the following challenges were identified:
1. Limited Delivery Motorcycles.
Business was operating on a limited number of delivery motorcycles, which limited the business to expand its client base. This also led to decrease in business competitiveness and was also attracting number of customer dissatisfaction. The business was in need of capital to acquire more delivery motorcycles in order to cope with the increasing demand for its service offerings.
