CREATED BY evolved from a passion for Small Business development combined with a love of craft and creative pursuits. It is a misconception that craft enterprise is not profitable, provided it is managed in the correct way. This sector provides many people in South Africa with their only income and when compared to the international market, is also a vastly untapped market for crafters and artists looking to develop home industries. Currently there are very few support structures that can holisticly support long term growth of the Craft industry and without any access to resources and facilities, too many micro enterprises continue to fail.

We constantly challenge the obstacles that surround the Craft industry and have decided to put our money where our mouth is and provide the very service we know industrious crafters need. Being creative often conflicts with the expected norm of the business environment but by communicating the same information and facts in a CREATIVE way, we aim to break through the boredom and ensure that entrepreneurs can grow their business, their way. The Creative way!

We believe in community and the values that exist therein and believe that if we all come together and share what we know, we can empower each other to be bigger, better and most importantly MORE PROFITABLE. By communicating what we learn we are not compromising our own success, we are building an industry!

YOU GET OUT WHAT YOU PUT IN!
