EMPOWERING THE RISE OF
EVERYDAY ENTREPRENEURS

South Africans are built differently.

South Africans are resilient by nature, shaped by adversity, strengthened through endurance, and driven by possibility. We know and believe in the power of resilience when it’s nurtured, guided, and given a fair chance.

 

Across the country, thousands of entrepreneurs wake up early, hustle hard, and fight daily to keep their businesses alive. They carry the fire, the drive, and the determination. Sadly, they do not always the tools, the networks, or the know-how to succeed.
 

That’s where you come in.

Adopt a Business.
Grow the Nation.

CTAP’s,  Adopt-A-Business program exists to bridge that gap. Through the following four structured focus areas.
 

  • Sales Mentorship

  • Social Media Development

  • Corporate Identity Creation

  • Website Development
     

Our approach using these four focus areas, we equip township and rural entrepreneurs with practical skills, professional branding, and digital visibility. Backed by corporate South Africa’s B-BBEE spend, this program transforms informal traders into confident, competitive businesses ready for real growth.
 

Together, we’re building the next generation super stars of South Africa’s economy.

One empowered SMME at a time.

Why Fund Through
Adopt-A-Business?

The Adopt-A-Business Program offers a streamlined, impact-driven solution for companies looking to maximise their B-BBEE scorecard outcomes, specifically within the Enterprise Development (ED) and Supplier Development (SD) pillars.

Plug-and-Play Impact
No need to reinvent the wheel. This proven, ready-to-implement model enables rapid deployment with measurable outcomes. Whether you’re building new supplier pipelines or strengthening your enterprise development portfolio, the foundation is already in place.

 

Transparent Reporting & ROI
Track the real-world impact of your contribution. We provide clear, auditable reporting on each SMME’s growth journey. From sales metrics and brand development to digital visibility and procurement readiness.

 

Quick Scorecard Wins
Contributions to this program qualify for key B-BBEE points under:

  • Enterprise Development (ED): 5% NPAT target

  • Supplier Development (SD): 2% NPAT target

  • Preferential Procurement opportunities

  • Additional Skills Development benefits where applicable
     

Tangible Human Impact
Every rand invested goes directly into equipping a township or rural entrepreneur with the tools to thrive. With mentorship, marketing skills, professional branding, and a website to drive access to market.

 

This isn’t just about compliance. It’s about building legacy through local enterprise.

What Makes This Different?

This isn’t charity.
It’s nation-building through entrepreneurship.

 

The Adopt-A-Business Program goes beyond compliance. It empowers resilient South African entrepreneurs by equipping them with what they need most: structure, support, and opportunity.
 

We don’t work with startups, and we work with high-potential black-owned SMMEs who have:
 

  • Potential Start Ups if identified by yourselves

  • Already completed accredited training,

  • Are currently trading,

  • And are ready to scale.
     

How It Works:
 

We match your business with one of these vetted SMMEs.
You support them over a structured three-month journey.
We take care of onboarding, mentoring, training delivery, and transparent reporting.

You get measurable impact, immediate scorecard benefits, and leave a lasting legacy.

Make South Africa Great - One Business at a Time

We don’t need to look abroad for inspiration—hope lives here.
 

In the heart of a township bakery.
On the road with a mobile salon.
On a building site with a small construction crew.
Inside a micro-manufacturing startup that refuses to quit.

 

What these businesses need is not charity. They need a partner. A backer. Someone who believes in their potential.

That someone is you.


Let’s rebuild this country one entrepreneur at a time, through support, dignity, and enterprise.
