Entrepreneurs are often told to become funder ready. But that advice only works if they understand what lenders are assessing. South Africa’s SMMEs sector employs over half of our workforce and contributes a third of GDP, * yet it faces an estimated R350 billion financing gap. * It needs more than encouragement — it needs clarity. In this clip from Episode 2 of Conversations That Matter, Vignesh Subramani, Acting Managing Executive for SME Business at Absa Business Banking, breaks down what shapes a lending decision and why a missing element doesn’t always mean the answer is no. Watch the full episode for deeper insights into funding readiness.
