More than 90% of SMEs in Africa die before their third year of operations. The funnel gets narrower over a span of 10 years with most of the remaining businesses dying pre-maturely along the way.
The main course of SME deaths & stunted growth is lack of an understanding of how to manage finances at the critical growth stage of your business; as well as lack of knowledge & skills on when, how and where to raise external capital more efficiently in order to finance your business growth.
