One thing I’ve noticed is that when we talk about helping SMMEs, the conversation is almost always about funding.
But what happens after the funding?
What happens when the business gets broken into, stock is stolen, equipment is damaged, or operations are disrupted for a week?
Most small businesses don’t have the cash reserves to simply absorb those losses and carry on.
That’s why I believe insurance and risk management deserve a bigger place in the SMME conversation. It’s not just about protecting assets—it’s about giving entrepreneurs a fighting chance to recover when things don’t go according to plan.
Building a business is hard enough. Starting over because of an uninsured loss is even harder.

@AfricaFactsZone, Thank you for bringing this up. First, it's true I took back my ambulance & I have no apologies for that. Why did I do it? It's because they didn't vote for me. So did you expect me to walkaway with nothing? Galatians 6:7 A man reaps what he sows.
Entrepreneurship can be brutal, it can drive you to the brink of financial ruin.
So don’t look down on entrepreneurs who lose it, learn from them and assist where you can.
Much is only achieved when we build together instead of bringing each other down.
