Soweto Business Hub (SBH) is a South African based nonprofit organisation that helps start-ups, and small and medium-sized entrepreneurs (SMEs) including women and people with disabilities, to grow and prosper by creating access to collaborative workspaces, quality business education, coaching, mentorship, and financial services. SBH offers the advantages of a business hub in a prime location (Maponya Shopping Mall) to the less privileged and add a component of training, networking, personal development, and community involvement. We can offer our services at a reduced cost by using a hybrid model that combines commercial income and sponsorships to offer exciting services for our target group. Commercial income is generated from rent and covers most of the running cost of the hub. Currently, we rent out 10 offices for 12 SMEs with 30 employees. Sponsorships are used to fund special projects, training, networking, and coaching for our target group.
