Formalisation
The entrepreneurial mindset is a significant factor in business. Part of this mindset shift requires you to embrace formalisation. If you have a concept in mind, your business is informal or unregistered, let’s begin your journey to success here.

Incubator
This is a 12-month intervention aimed at Performance Improvement for the established business with strong business model but limited growth due to poor strategy and structure.
