Sanlam Enterprise and Supplier Development Programme
Sanlam Enterprise and Supplier Development Programme is a incubation programme from Sanlam Enterprise Development for growth, established businesses across South Africa.
Overview
Sanlam runs enterprise and supplier development through partners rather than a direct grant fund: an Edge Growth-run accelerator for 51 percent black-owned FinTech and InsureTech businesses (coaching, market access, possible small grants) and the ASISA ESD programmes for financial-services SMEs. There is no published funding range you can simply apply for - entry is via cohort applications to Edge Growth or the ASISA ESD Fund. Expect development support first, with funding case-by-case.
