Vumela Enterprise Development Fund


Building the nation one SME at a time

The first fund of its kind in South Africa, Vumela's main goals are to invest in and develop entrepreneurial companies in order to help alleviate poverty in South Africa by creating jobs.

What this is


Filling the gap

FNB Commercial, together with Edge Growth, manage the Vumela Enterprise Development Fund and through it makes equity investments into high growth SMEs currently struggling to access finance through traditional channels.


Growth finance of this nature is challenging to access in the SA economy as it falls into the 'missing middle'.


Vumela Enterprise Development offers


 
 

Who this is for


Developing SMEs


Vumela Enterprise Development funding applies to both early-stage ventures as well as more mature expanding businesses.


These are businesses that are:


  • Too large for microfinance
  • Don't meet traditional credit criteria in terms of collateral + balance sheet requirements
  • Too small or early stage for private equity, and don't generate the exceptional returns that venture capital seeks.

Vumela Enterprise Development Fund actively works with its investees to ensure the growth of these businesses to achieve the objectives of sustainable job creation and related social impact.
