Seda gears up to respond to COVID-19
As Government’s primary agency for small business support, Seda is mobilising all its resources and working with key stakeholders at national, provincial and local level to facilitate access to Government and private sector programmes, initiatives and financial relief. During this time, Seda will prioritise assistance to SMMEs to access these programmes while continuing to provide relevant advice and business support.
Lockdown Arrangements
Seda branches will be locked-down until 17th April 2020.
We are committed to continue to be available to all SMMEs: during this time, branches will operate remotely and will be accessible via email and telephone.
Branch contact details are available on and on Seda’s www.seda.org.za social media platforms.
Updates on branch access will be posted on our website.
Access to Support for SMMEs
A number of financial and non-financial support measures have been initiated by government and the private sector to support small businesses, including informal traders. Further measures are on the way.
We are working to make www.seda.org.za the information hub to keep all stakeholders continually updated on all available small business support programmes, and how to access them.
Please visit the site regularly for updates and key information and contact details.
You can also visit:
www.smmesa.gov.za to register your business on the National SMME Database.
www.bizportal.gov.za for CIPC registration and certificates to trade
Additional information on support interventions for SMMEs is available on: www.mybindu.org.za
www.dsbd.gov.za & www.sefa.org.za
Our Commitment
We recognise the major impact that Covid-19 is having, and will have on the small business sector.
Seda is mobilising all its resources to:
- facilitate access to relief and support programmes
- facilitate compliance for SMMEs to produce emergency goods and services
- provide advice and skills to support business survival.
Every Seda employee is committed to respond to this rapidly changing situation with relevant information, advice and services.
