Executive Personal Assistant

The Small Enterprise Development Agency (Seda) was established in December 2004, in terms of the National Small Business Amendment Act.

The GODISA Trust and the National Technology Transfer Centre were merged with Seda in April 2006, becoming the Seda Technology Programme (STP). The small enterprise support function of the South African Quality Institute (SAQI) and the Technology for Women in Business (TWIB) were incorporated with the STP in 2008. To date, Seda has established a network throughout the 9 provinces with 42 branches, 27 incubation centres, provincial offices and a national office.

Seda provides business-related information, advice, business registration, access to markets, facilitation of access to finance, training and mentoring services in all areas of business development for small enterprises. Through the STP, Seda also provides business and technology incubation services, support for management systems implementation (such as ISO9001 and OHSAS 18001), product testing and certification, as well as machinery and equipment.
