New hope for local SME’s.

Following the recent pandemic COVID 19, Central Data Point has identified new and creative ways to provide local SME’s with SME relief funds through the #supportsmes initiative.

According to McKinsey and Company, ”South African SMEs, already having to contend with a contracting economy, additional shocks from COVID-19 are putting further pressure on their operations. Lockdown measures have caused revenues in many SMEs to fall precipitously and the majority report that they are being forced to cut back on business spending to survive.4

For some, this may not be enough; analysts are predicting that around 60 percent of SMEs may close before the crisis is over.”

“Help save a business”.

What Central Data Point is doing.

We as Central Data Point have identified a need, analysed the post COVID 19 effect on businesses, especially SME’s, and the impact that lockdown had on the business‘s operations and profitability. We have started an initiative called Central One - where we provide local SME‘s access to relief funds, resources and expertise that will help navigate through the COVID 19 pandemic.

We have a chance to do something extraordinary. As we head out of this pandemic we can change the world. Create a world of love. A world where we are kind to each other. A world were we are kind no matter what class, race, sexual orientation, what religion or lack of or what job we have. A world we don't judge those at the food bank because that may be us if things were just slightly different. Let love and kindness be our roadmap. - Johnny Corn.
