Entry criteria
There are a few criteria that your business must adhere to in order to qualify:
- Your business must be a registered CC or Pty
- Your business must have been trading for a minimum of 24 months or more.
- If your business is not growing, you are declining. Growth is the ultimate proof that you are meeting the needs of a customer in a way that competitors aren’t and that you would be a prime candidate for support through this promotion.
- You are either an innovator or you have the ability to create jobs
- Innovation: What do you do differently? Innovation speaks to what is special about your business and how it sets you apart from your competitors.
- Employment: What are the prospects of job creation in your business on one of two levels? Either that you will be able to generate many jobs going forward and/or that you will generate excellent skills in your employees going forward.
- If you make the shortlist you will be challenged on all these points, so be sure you can answer and prove them.
