Insights from Darlene Menzies, CEO of Finfind I have met hundreds of entrepreneurs who are looking for funding – from those who have an idea and are trying to raise seed capital to start their business, to owners of high growth businesses who need expansion finance, and everyone in between.

Testimonials

“There is so much advice for entrepreneurs being thrown around and such advice is mostly the same. Finfind is one entity that understands (in my experience) the challenges facing entrepreneurs on many levels, not excluding the constraints (practices) that clearly do not facilitate entry into the market and access to finance. This, I attribute to a conscious effort to understand SMMEs together with experience as a result of having been there itself at some stage.”
Ingrid Williams
“Much appreciated for the excellent turnaround. I am overwhelmed by the real time of the system. My client is so excited as he has been given so many funding options to select from.” – Lorinda
Excellent Turnaround
“Yesterday was, in my eyes, a huge success. I’ve downloaded the report and I’m very impressed with the level of detail on the data. Thank you for the invite and I look forward to next year’s event.” (Access to Finance Report launch)
Shane Sher, Partnership Manager, Merchant Capital
“It was a great honour to have been invited and be part of this historic event.” (Access to Finance Report launch)
Don Mashele, Head: Development Impact Support, SEFA
“Imagine my excitement turning on my computer at 8pm and receiving the Darlene Menzies SABC Interview clip. I cannot tell you how impressed I was at your Finfind contact person’s efficiency and your immediate response. The icing on the top was that Darlene’s actual interview was absolutely outstanding. Thank you again for your care, consideration and efficiency.” – Grant N.
Efficiency and Immediate Response
“From the presentation and discussions yesterday, I can already congratulate you on an awesome report and findings.” (Access to Finance Report launch)
Marina Short, CEO, Consumer Profile Bureau
“Thank you for your sound advice. I wish I had approach Finfind earlier. A number of valuable lessons have been learned in the process. I particularly appreciate Darlene’s sound advice to entrepreneurs during the radio interview I referred to in earlier emails, as well as your willingness to assist and guide me in the process. Please know that this is not normal practice. To the Finfind Team, you are doing a stunning job with a rare humanistic approach.”
Ingrid Williams
Mbusi has been so helpful. I’ve been calling him since last week and asking him so many questions about the funding space and this guy knows everything. He has been truly helpful and I’d like to pay him a big compliment.
Salu - Thriving Network
“Well done on the report. Great effort, and look forward to trying to assist in solving this critical issue.” (Access to Finance Report launch)
Cuan Hopley, Invoset
“Thank you for the invitation to the launch of the report. I found it to be a tremendous effort by all involved. The comprehensive report is valuable and must be a first for South Africa which makes it so valuable to all who play and want to play in this space. Well done for an extremely professional event and in which every moment was worthwhile.” (Access to Finance Report launch)
Roland Cooper from FCSA
