About Business Partners

If you are in need of a business loan then you have come to the right place.

As many great stories go, this one started on a sunny day in downtown Johannesburg. In 1979, at a business conference, the late Dr. Anton Rupert and his son Johan had an idea that would change business loans forever. This idea set the stage for the establishment of the Small Business Development Corporation in 1981.

The name that says it all

Being a partner means that there is a shared interest. No matter the context that the word partner is used in, it means that there is an equal share. This is no different when referring to business loans in South Africa from Business Partners. They are fully committed to helping aspiring entrepreneurs achieve great success.

The inspiration behind the business loans

In 1776 a great man called Thomas Paine wrote an inspiring poem on being an entrepreneur. The poem called 'The Common Man' is a timeless piece of literature that tells a tale. It is the tale of who we are and what we dream to be. Using this piece of writing as the backbone for what they believe, they strive to help people achieve their inner dreams.
