Client Feedback
Client Comments:
“My experience with SEDFA has been amazing. When I first contacted SEDFA I never knew how much assistance I would receive and I’ll forever be grateful to my business advisor. Ever since I’ve been assisted my business has been growing. The marketing material I received plays a huge role to my growth and cementing the brand when in public spaces. SEDFA has also given me courses like Export Orientation Course and SARS Workshop and I’ll forever apply the knowledge I acquired. I’m not forgetting the FInancial Management Workshops. SEDFA hasn’t only assisted with new knowledge and marketing material but also with networking opportunities where the brand travelled, met and built relationships around the country. The grant will help my business grow in terms of I will now no longer outsource as much I did because I’ll be in full control of production – production in terms of I’ll have my own fabric/raw material, embroidery machine, industrial sewing machine and I’ll also be able to absorb interns and create employment. The grant will help me to grow exponentially because I’ll know have less costs and be able to maximize and profit while the business grows to being self-operational and being the household brand it globally will become. I’m super grateful because I’m the epitome of my ancestors and this has never happened before in my bloodline, I’m breaking the generational curses in my bloodline in real-time. I’m my ancestors' wildest dreams.”
