FOURTEEN aspiring entrepreneurs completed a business development workshop programme sponsored by Business Partners.

The programme focused on drawing up business plans and was completed in five sessions during October and November. The workshop facilitation was contracted to Entrepreneurial Survival Solutions (ESS) and Business Partners covered all the costs.

While 22 candidates were selected, only 14 successfully completed the course.
Area Manager of Business Partners, Thula Mkhwanazi, congratulated the participants and wished them well in their respective businesses.

‘Just like the Comrades Marathon, many start but not everyone finishes. ‘Many successful entrepreneurs would vouch for the hard work and effort that they have to put into their businesses and the past five weeks required the same effort from all the attendees.’
