The Group offers the “Trader Account” which is available to players in the ever increasing informal sector. Such players are able to access small loans to start up or enhance their businesses. Unemployed Individuals have been able to leverage on this opportunity, creating success stories in different ways. The Group is motivated by the increasing number of testimonials it continues to receive of growth from humble beginnings in ventures such as brick making, retailing, farming and other businesses. The Group aims to create entrepreneurial hubs designed to mentor the unemployed so that they can start their own ventures. Lending activities and financial products and services have also been designed for small scale gold miners and farmers to assist in the generation of foreign exchange from exports.
In order for the society to fully benefit from the corporate world, there is need to bring in new ideas to the market and the industry at large.

This was done through participation in conferences arranged by the following partner institutions:
- Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce
- Institute of Chartered Accountants of Zimbabwe
- Association of Certified Chartered Accountants
- Retailer’s Association Conference and
- Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries
