The second Cape Town Social Enterprise Business Plan Competition (SEBPC) ran from October 2010 to February 2011. Initiated by The Business Place Philippi, the competition was expanded this year to include Paarl and Stellenbosch as well as the Cape Metropole.
The Anglo American Zimele Community Fund, which provides business loans at low interest rates to black entrepreneurs, has just reached the R2 million mark in business loans to TBP Philippi clients.
The Business Place has concluded a deal that will ensure current copies of the weekly business magazine Finweek will continue to be available to clients free of charge, across the country.
