On Tuesday big four bank FNB launched its fourth Vumela fund, worth R200 million, which aims to offer alternate financing to 150 black-owned businesses and create 1 000 jobs. FNB’s Vumela Enterprise Development Fund was established in 2009 by the lender’s commercial banking unit, in partnership with venture capital and private equity firm Edge Growth.
“This is a product we want to be accessible quickly, for small amounts of funding, for the use of working capital [or] operational expenditure; it might be fulfilling a purchase order, buying some stock, [or] employing a few people quickly. We’ve got R100 million to deploy in this space,” Richard Rose, CEO of Edge Growth said at a media briefing.
