In this episode of Inside Growth, we sit down with Carol Khashe, interim CEO of the Small Business Institute, to unpack the real challenges facing South African small and medium-sized enterprises.
Drawing from her personal journey as a former entrepreneur who experienced business failure, Carol shares why working in the small business ecosystem is driven by passion and how her past shaped her dedication to advocacy. We dive deep into why South Africa does not lack funding or training, but rather struggles with access, specifically examining the business dossier and compliance barriers holding founders back.
Plus, we explore how the SBI is actively fighting red tape, championing the 30-day payment policy, and leveraging local business chambers to give entrepreneurs a collective voice.
