On 1 October 2024, agencies – Small Enterprise Finance Agency (SEFA) and Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA) under the Department of Small Business Development, and the Cooperative Banking Development Agency (CBDA) from National Treasury – officially came together to form the Small Enterprise Development and Finance Agency, better known as SEDFA.
SEDFA works with potential entrepreneurs who are still at the business idea stage and have not yet started operating.
We are able to assist with business formalisation, which is one of the services offered by SEDFA.
Eligible participants can be assisted with company registration at no cost. Our support does not end with business formalisation.
Once the business has been formalised, we can assist the entrepreneur with Business Start-Up 1 training. Our training programmes are offered free of charge to eligible clients.
SEDFA walks the journey with clients, regardless of where they are in their business lifecycle.
We also assist existing business owners who want to consolidate, improve and grow their businesses through various business development interventions.
In addition, we support businesses that want to improve their sustainability through a range of interventions and support services.
