Empowering Your SME Clients: A Funding Readiness Workshop for Accountants
Overview
Following a 0.4% increase in GDP reported for the first quarter of 2023, Stats SA has revealed a 0.6% increase in the second quarter of 2023. This is a welcome trend that has steered the country away from a technical recession.
One way of maintaining this positive trend is to support and encourage the growth of SMMEs which usually find themselves restricted from expansion due to the lack of capital. Funding is fortunately available from both private and governmental institutions. The aim of this webinar is to empower accountants with the knowledge and strategies necessary to provide SME clients with a comprehensive grasp of the funding landscape.
