Funding application service in South Africa — SEDFA (SEFA), NYDA, NEF, dtic & banks

The problem
The funding is there — SEDFA, NYDA, the NEF, the dtic, provincial agencies, the banks — but they all want a stack of documents most business owners have never had to produce, and one weak page gets the whole application declined.
How Inkatech solves it
The Inkatech Funding Desk prepares the whole application. We start with a paid Funding Readiness Check that tells you honestly whether you qualify and which fund to target — before you spend on anything else. Then we build the full pack: a bankable business plan, a three-year financial model, a line-item use-of-funds schedule, a motivation letter and a company profile. We know what funders want because we have been through the process ourselves.
- ✓Funding Readiness Check — qualify, screen and fund-match (from R450)

The result
A complete, professional application that gives your business its best possible shot — and a clear, honest picture of your odds before you spend a cent.
Frequently asked questions
Can you guarantee I'll get the funding?+
No — and be careful of anyone who does. No one can guarantee a funding decision; that's the funder's call. What we guarantee is a complete, professional, correctly-matched application that gives you the best possible chance. Our fee is for the work we do, not for the outcome.
What is the Funding Readiness Check?+
It's a paid screening — from R450 — where we check the things that actually get applications declined: your credit and debt-review status, CIPC and SARS standing, your trading history against the amount you want, and which fund genuinely fits. You get an honest go/no-go and a recommended route. If you go ahead with a full pack, the fee is credited.
How much does a full funding application cost?+
The Funding Application Pack — business plan, financial model, use-of-funds and motivation letter — is from R4,500. If you also need the registrations funders require (CIPC, SARS tax clearance, CSD, BEE affidavit), the combined Application + Registration package is from R6,500. Final pricing depends on the size and complexity of the business.
Which funders do you prepare applications for?+
SEDFA (the agency that replaced SEFA and SEDA in 2024), including its Township & Rural Entrepreneurship Programme (TREP), youth and women's funds; the NYDA grant programme; the National Empowerment Fund; dtic incentives; provincial agencies such as Ithala (KZN), GEP (Gauteng) and ECDC (Eastern Cape); and commercial banks. Part of the Readiness Check is telling you which one you actually qualify for. Not sure yet? Take our free 3-minute Funding Readiness Quiz at inkatech.co.za/funding-check.
Do you give financial or legal advice?+
No. We prepare your application documents and match you to the right programme. Anything requiring a registered accountant (audited financials, tax structuring) or an attorney (legal opinions) we refer to the right professional — that keeps you safe and your application credible.
