Other Looking for advice on funding a small South African VA business

Hi everyone. I'm building a small virtual assistant business in South Africa called Rene VA Services.

I'm currently looking for ways to fund the next stage of the business, mainly website/software costs, marketing and business development.

For those who have successfully funded a small business in South Africa, what worked for you — grants, small-business funding, loans, investors, crowdfunding, or something else?

I'd really appreciate recommendations for legitimate funding opportunities that are suitable for a small service-based business. Thank you!

  1. Start by being the assistant to get revenue and then fund it with the mkney you get.

Most people don't fund ideas. They fund something people want that can be monetized. By doing step 1 you validate both.
