While this is true in most instances, Seda utilises an approach that does an in-depth assessment of the small enterprise and the entrepreneur to ensure that the support is as holistic as possible, and not limited to access to finance. This in-depth assessment is done by Seda’s business advisors. Through this approach, a long term relationship with multiple, needs-based interventions and continuous assessment of performance is established with the small enterprise.

Seda’s network of 49 incubators balances the need to help small enterprises survive the nascent 36 months with the need to nurture businesses with innovative, high growth potential towards commercialisation. The network has demonstrated remarkable success, with 76% of incubated small enterprises surviving the first three years of business establishment, and out of those that graduate from the incubation programme, approximately 80% survive the first two years post incubation.
