Understanding Provincial Funding
Provincial Development Agencies
Each province has a development agency (e.g., GEP for Gauteng, Wesgro for Western Cape) offering grants and business support services to local enterprises.
Special Economic Zones
SEZs like Coega, Dube TradePort, and OR Tambo offer additional tax incentives and funding for businesses operating within their boundaries. Check if your province has an active SEZ.
Rural vs Urban Funding
Some programmes specifically target rural enterprises or townships. If your business operates outside major metros, you may qualify for additional rural development funding.
