Client Comments:
Seda has been very instrumental in the progress that our business has had in the past year. The interventions like the business plan development and the export readiness training has made it possible for us to access Asset Finance and also be selected for participation in a number of international trade shows and eventually winning an acclaimed international award, for that we will be forever grateful
