From experience, the following common problems exist with identified start ups :

  1. Limited capacity of the community with respect to managing and operating a hospitality business;
  2. Inadequate business experience including the development of viable operational business plans for commercialization;
  3. No start up capital or operational funding;
  4. Poor governance and accountability mechanisms; and
  5. Lack of access to markets and private sector partnerships.

As a minimum, the following will be planned for :

  1. Human Resources, Operations, Marketing and Business Development;
  2. Facilitate linkages to established businesses and industry experts;
  3. Ensure that businesses are marketed, branded and graded;
  4. Assistance in accessing finance (grant, equity, loan etc) to maximise growth potential; ( IDC / SEFA / NEF / SEDA /Dti / etc.)
  5. Training on specific skills needed by the businesses. Training will consist of a combination of accredited and non accredited training programmes, that also includes practical outcomes based skills
  6. Development that empowers those being trained to implement what they have learned; Business support and mentoring (this would be tabled as a closing report to the client on what can be provided to ensure growth and a sustainable business).
