Enterprise Development (ED) is a term describing a partnership between an established business and Black owned SMMEs, where the former plays a role in the advancement of the latter. Established businesses get involved in ED for positive societal change or a commercial reason. In South Africa, ED is pursued largely to benefit the broader society in order to stimulate economic activity with a specific focus on Black economic empowerment. As a commercial investment, investors would like to see that a small company grows fast in order to maximize the return on their investment. Afrika Tikkun Services not only meets the ED requirements, but more importantly, our business objective is both social and entrepreneurial in nature. This means that our underlying motive is to uplift South Africa’s youth through sustainable training and placement solutions that improve the quality of their lives.
