Welcome to ESS                                                                                Welcome to ESS

At ESS we only have one purpose ... To develop SMME Business Owners to achieve success in both business and life as well as offering essential value added solutions that are required by all SMME’s in today’s ever changing environment.

Our own establishment and culture was formulated from a suggestion made by Clem Sunter in his book “Never Mind the Millenium. What About the Next 24 Hours?”; namely 

 

 

“In every community in every rural and urban area there should be an entrepreneurial training center which can provide business skills to the young and old alike including all those retrenched from the public and private sectors.  These centers should be run by private enterprise, with the financing coming from government and business.  In particular, the centers should be staffed by the old foxes, i.e. people retired or semi retired from owning and operating successful small business.  Grey power needs to be harnessed as business angels.  Who better to watch over the young entrepreneurs.”
