If you’re a South African entrepreneur running a growth-focused SME, you’ve probably heard about Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD) — one of the cornerstones of Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE). But what does it really mean to become an ESD beneficiary, and how can it help you access funding, mentorship, and market opportunities?
At Decusatio Working Capital Solutions, we work closely with corporates and funding partners to support a pipeline of high-potential small businesses across industries such as technology, finance, healthcare, and renewable energy. We’re inviting qualifying SMEs to register with us as potential Enterprise and Supplier Development beneficiaries, so we can connect them with real, impactful opportunities as they arise.
Many South African corporates have obligations to invest in Enterprise and Supplier Development to improve their B-BBEE scorecards. But they’re not just looking to tick boxes — they want to support credible, compliant, and growth-ready SMEs who can become part of their supply chain or benefit from meaningful enterprise development support.
By joining our network as an ESD beneficiary, your business can benefit from:
Access to ED (Enterprise Development) and SD (Supplier Development) funding
Introductions to large corporates looking for SME suppliers or partners
Mentorship, skills development, and business advisory support
Financial and compliance readiness support
Improved visibility for your business within funding and procurement networks
Through our partnerships and platforms, we’ve successfully supported SMEs in fintech, energy, healthcare, and professional services to:
Improve their accounting and compliance through cloud-based solutions
Develop investment-ready documentation and business plans
Secure working capital and ESD-linked funding
Grow their capacity and readiness to take on larger contracts
Whether you’re an early-stage business needing guidance or a more established SME ready to scale, our approach is tailored to your unique growth path.
We are continuously building a database of SMEs who may be eligible for future Enterprise and Supplier Developmentopportunities. While we can’t guarantee immediate funding, we frequently receive requests from corporates looking for viable ESD beneficiaries to support.
To register, your business should ideally:
Be at least 51% black-owned
Be a registered entity in South Africa (Pty Ltd, Cooperative, or Sole Prop)
Have basic financial systems in place (or be willing to implement them)
Be operating in a sector with strong growth potential (e.g. tech, finance, energy, healthcare)
Be willing to engage in mentorship, training, and compliance processes
If you’re serious about growing your business and open to being considered for Enterprise and Supplier Development opportunities, we want to hear from you.
Register as an ESD beneficiary with Decusatio Working Capital Solutions and join our growing network of high-potential SMEs. When the next opportunity comes, we want you to be ready.
