Makro Marketplace, Retail Capital partner to educate SMEs on business funding options 

| On the move

Last week, Massmart, together with Retail Capital, a division of Tyme Bank, hosted a Business Funding Information session for its Marketplace seller base.

The webinar provided these small business owners with key insights about the funding options available to them. The partnership initially began in 2021 and has, since inception, provided significant funding to enable Massmart’s B2B customer base to both sustain and grow their businesses.   

Commenting on the partnership and the prospects that it offers to online sellers, Deon Van Der Westhuizen, Portfolio Manager: Funding Solutions at Massmart said “Our B2B customer base has become well accustomed to this offer and we felt it important to amplify this within our Marketplace Seller base as well, to hear their thoughts about the solution. By providing them with access to this solution we will assist these SME’s to unlock the doors to business funding opportunities and drive their organisations to new heights.”
