Testimonials

The Ubuntu team turned my very rough idea to start a chain of pharmacies in the township into a formidable business case that got venture capital funding

Lebogang, Founder - Pure Pharmacy Klerksdorp

I had no clue where to start with my application to the National Empowerment Fund . The Ubuntu team helped me to build a business case that was informed by real industry analysis & also submitted the application for me

Dave, Founder - Omni Freight, Johannesburg

We needed to partner with someone to not only help our incubatees build a solid business case but also to upskill them real quick - the Ubuntu Biz Academy and the Ubuntu Accountant are helpful platforms
