Frequently Asked Questions Around South Africa

These are the most frequently asked questions on our platform by our everyday website visitors.

Gofundbiz.com is a South African registered private company, with a strong social impact mission focused on readdressing the grassroots of funding to give small businesses a level playing field to grow and scale.

However, we are committed to giving back by reinvesting our profits into funding grants, essential business tools, support services and visibility opportunities to empower small businesses across South Africa.

Gofundbiz.com is a community powered platform built on mutual support. Before your funding request is processed, you're required to contribute to at least 3 other businesses with a minimum of R20 on each business. This unlocks your campaign to be funded and builds your Community Score showing you're actively giving back to others not just receiving.

Your Community Score is a token of trust within the Gofundbiz community. It grows every time you actively contribute to other businesses. This score isn't just a number, it symbolizes that you’re a giver not just a receiver. The higher your score, the more credibility you build, increasing your chances of being funded by others who recognize your commitment to supporting the community. It’s also your passport to accessing premium services, discounted rewards (Through Gofundbiz Rewards Wallet Coming Soon with interesting partnerships coming along the way) and exclusive opportunities on the platform. Being an active contributor validates your presence and impact in the ecosystem.

Lastly, corporates and NGOs are more likely to match the total contributions made by top contributors on the platform. This means your Community Score doesn’t just build trust within the community, it also puts you in the spotlight for potential corporate support increasing the chances that your campaign will receive additional funding from our CSR partners.

That Makes A Huge Difference For South Africa's Future Economy

Small businesses or non-profit companies across South Africa often close within 2–5 years without the right support. That's the hard truth. Entrepreneurship isn't for the faint-hearted and without proper guidance many bright ideas fade before they even start.

With your membership subscription you’re not just supporting a platform, you’re becoming a guardian of potential by allowing us to reinvest through grants directly into other small businesses seeking funding, creating a powerful cycle of impact that keeps the community growing stronger together. Most importantly, you get access to essential business tools, mentorship, premium discounted support services, exclusive networking events that empower you to grow and thrive and also get to keep 100% of every contribution made to your campaign with no deductions.

Added Bonus:
All members now receive free website design including hosting with business emails starting from 25 email accounts. Membership plans start from R49 P/M.
