Corporate Sponsors, you can maximise your Enterprise and Supplier Development Activities
We have developed a unique Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD) model to assist South African companies to achieve their ESD points on the B-BBEE scorecard. You will achieve this by sponsoring black-owned businesses on our globally recognised enterprise development programmes and supplier development programmes. Working with us is more than just achieving your B-BBEE points. It’s about achieving real growth in your black-owned suppliers.
Why Raizcorp?We Source New Black-Owned SuppliersSourcing quality suppliers for your corporate supply chain is a very intensive process. You need to ensure that your suppliers are able to supply quality products/services, at the right price, at the right time, every time. We specialise in sourcing black-owned suppliers, across extensive industries, which can be incubated and included in your supply chain.
We Develop your Supply ChainsIf your strategy includes focussing on either improving your entire supply chain, or focussing specifically on individual suppliers within your supply chain, we’ll assist you by building a supplier development programme that is tailored to your business requirements.
We Integrate your StrategiesDriving an effective and successful Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD) strategy depends on how well it integrates with your overall business strategy. In order to prevent any potential misalignments, which could result in you not meeting your ESD objectives, we’ll assist you to ensure you achieve complete integration with your company’s existing business strategy – for maximum results!
We Guarantee your B-BBEE PointsCurrently the industry is filled with a lot of “fly-by-night” and “two-man band” operations who promise you the world, and don’t deliver on those promises. We have over a decade of experience in this industry, and places huge emphasis on ensuring all the requisite paperwork, proof and compliance documentation are in place in order to ensure that your ESD budget does indeed achieve your B-BBEE points. All our ESD programmes are designed to meet the requirements of the new B-BBEE codes.
We Guarantee our ResultsWe’re the only ESD provider that contractually guarantees our results. The proof is in the pudding and our case studies detail how we’ve done this for other corporate sponsors. We can do the same for you!
We Provide Comprehensive Measurements and ReportingWithout proper measurements, you can’t gauge the impact of your Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD) activities. Each of our ESD programmes is developed uniquely for our corporate sponsors, and each programme is rigorously measured and reported on to ensure that you are always able to monitor the high impact that your investment in entrepreneurial development is making on the ground.
We’ve Been Doing This for over a DecadeWe started out in 2000 as a business incubator, and have since firmly differentiated ourselves as Africa’s only sustainable business Prosperator™. Drawing on the best practices of business incubator models worldwide, we have pioneered Prosperation™ – our own unique, world-renowned model of business incubation.
We’re Internationally RecognisedTrusting another business with your Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD) budget and requirements can be a nerve-wracking task. The combination of over a decade’s experience of business incubation and Prosperation
TM; adherence to the highest levels of quality (we are the only incubator on the African continent to be awarded as a Centre of Excellence by the UK Government’s Small Firms Enterprise Development Initiative – SFEDI); learning programmes approved by the Council on Higher Education (CHE); and the learnings gleaned from rolling out and operating 8 Prosperators™, has made us the Gold Standard in business incubation globally. We’ve been invited to present our high-touch Prosperator
TM model at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland; at Oxford University Säid Business School, and to the World Bank. The Wits Business School uses our Prosperator
TM model as case study for the MBA students.
Enterprise and Supplier Development Programmes
We have designed a range of highly-effective and targeted Enterprise and Supplier Development Programmes that are tailored to your strategic objectives. These programmes guarantee that you’ll meet the B-BBEE requirements and achieve your BEE points in a sustainable manner whilst ensuring your suppliers and potential suppliers experience real impact on the programme resulting in their growth and profitability.
1. Supply Chain Development
We’ll help you to create Supplier Development programmes that will speak directly to your business needs. You’ll have the opportunity to build the strength of your own supply chain and fine-tune it accordingly.
Our Supplier Development programmes allow you to:
- identify the candidate businesses that have the potential to be included in your supply chain, and to groom these businesses for supply chain partnerships with you
- address the need, and benefit, from the B-BBEE focus on Supplier Development, allowing you to increase the number and quality of existing and new potential black-owned companies in your supply chain
- distinguish between your current non-performing or under-performing black suppliers that are currently on your supplier database, and your performing black suppliers that have specific growth needs
- move your black suppliers from non-strategic and non-capital intensive elements of your supply chain (low barrier to entry), to the strategic and capital intensive element of your supply chain (high barrier to entry)
2. Enterprise Development
We are renowned globally for our ability to develop and implement tailored ED programmes expeditiously that align Enterprise Development to your strategic needs, for example:
- your supporting local community
- your supporting specific groups such as women, youth, etc.
- linking Enterprise Development to your Supplier Development objectives, ensuring there is a healthy pipeline into your Supplier Development programme.
Our range of programmes is designed for the different stages of the entrepreneur’s life cycle, which include:
- introducing entrepreneurs to the concept of business, and helping them to develop their ideas into executable businesses
- helping entrepreneurs to take their business ideas to the first level of commercialisation
- assisting entrepreneurs to get their businesses off the ground and start generating revenue
- getting entrepreneurs to the next level of business, especially those that have the potential to create more jobs.
