The Women Empowerment Fund (WEF) is aimed at accelerating the provision of funding to businesses owned by black women. Funding starts from R250 000 to R75 million across a range of sectors, for start-ups, expansions and equity acquisition purposes.

In order to provide for different transactional needs, WEF uses a range of funding instruments ranging from secured (senior debt) to unsecured options (equity), and/or a hybrid of the two.
