At Fio Group, we believe that entrepreneurship is the backbone of any economy, especially here in Africa, where innovative minds and resilient spirits are shaping the future. Of the estimated 2.6 million micro, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in South Africa, about 37% are considered formal. Of the total, 54% are micro-enterprises and 15% are located in rural areas. 32% provide between one and ten jobs
Unfortunately, too many entrepreneurs struggle and often fail because they are forced to wear all the hats. A large percentage of new businesses in South Africa fail. This could be in the order of anywhere between 30 and 50%. It’s a reality that 90% of startups and small businesses can’t sustain themselves when the founder is burdened with every aspect of the business.
