Sefa Contact Details
The sefa contact number is now the SEDFA call centre on 086 010 3703 or 012 748 9600, and the general email is info@sedfa.org.za. The Small Enterprise Finance Agency (sefa) merged with Seda and the Cooperative Banking Development Agency on 1 October 2024 to form the Small Enterprise Development and Finance Agency (SEDFA).
The old sefa website no longer responds, so every route on this page is SEDFA’s.

- Asset finance, term loans and bridging loans.
- The Amavulandlela Funding Scheme, which offers persons with disabilities credit facilities from R50 000 to a maximum of R15 million.
- The Youth Challenge Fund, aimed at youth-owned enterprises run by entrepreneurs aged 18 to 35.
If you are waiting for a funding window to open, register a free eThuse account on sedfa.org.za and you will be notified when funding interventions open.
