The Right Partnership: Vodacom Financial Services Supports SMEs

This is the story of Palesa Mazibuko, CEO & Founder of Parsley on Thyme

Originally from Diepkloof in Soweto, for Palesa, being an entrepreneur has never been far from her or the dreams she had for her life. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in business, she knew that one day her business aspirations would become a reality.

“The name of my business is Parsley on Thyme, not ‘time’ and we are a catering company with 10 years in existence and we’re always on time,” joyfully notes Palesa.

With hard work and lots of dedication she has built her business from scratch and more over, she has expanded to opening a restaurant that services a bigger market, from corporate events to daily walk-in clients.

Sinawe as you build your business your way...

It is no secret that when you expand your horizons and business endeavours, “cash is king”. Much like every small business owner, Palesa needed more funds to help build her business. With quotations pilling up, bills that needed to be paid and other essential overheads such as salaries, she needed a helping hand in the form of cashflow.

And so, begins our journey with Parsley on Thyme

While surfing the internet and randomly scrolling through content, she came across a VodaLend Business Term Advance promotion that spoke about giving business owners up to R5 million in funding within 48 hours. This was exactly what she needed, and she took a chance and applied.

“What do I have to lose, let me try this out and see how it goes,” recalls Palesa.

The application process was concluded within minutes, and she felt a great wave of relief from how seamless and less complicated the process was. Within 24 hours she received a call from the VodaLend team confirming that all the necessary documentation had been received and her funding application was approved.

With enough funds in her bank account, Palesa knew that nothing could stand in her way – her vision of building Parsely on Thyme had the potential to become a reality sooner than expected.

“It is quite hard to invest in your business and dealing with other business needs such as payroll, the Business Term Advance helped me in a tremendous way.”

Having the right funding partner like VodaLend meant that Palesa and her unique business venture were well on their way of blossoming. VodaLend Business Term Advance is not just business funding, it is an ecosystem of financial services that set a business up for success.
