SACCOL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES 

One of the main functions SACCOL plays as a member owned organisation is to be a vehicle for development of the savings and credit co-operatives at the employee and community level. Without sustainable, effective primary level SACCOs, there can be no effective national service organisation. To assist SACCOs with development the following services are offered, some at a nominal cost. 

START UP SERVICES

Provincial Offices: SACCOL has offices in the Western Cape, Gauteng, Limpopo, and Eastern Cape to follow up and assist interested groups on how to go about forming SACCOs. In the KZN, this service is outsourced to a development agency.

Start Up Kit: A comprehensive step-by-step guide, including model and statutory forms on how to start up and register your SACCO with SACCOL and the Register of Cooperatives. The start up process is outlined in Part 3: How to start a SACCO

Onsite and telephonic advice: All SACCOL staff plays an invaluable role to start up and established SACCOs, providing advice from their collective experience in working with other SACCOs.

Human Resources Kit: As most SACCOs are employers of employees, this kit has been developed to provide SACCOs with the forms and procedures required to employ, monitor and assist with the managing of staff.

Future Kits: Future kits SACCOL is embarking on are Director manual, supervisory committee manual, accounting manual, loan kit and operational manual for start up SACCOs.

Handbooks and promotional materials: SACCOL has designed and produced a number of generic promotional handbooks and pamphlets to assist start up groups and established SACCOs promote the concept among their common bonds.

 

Grants: SACCOL has been fortunate to have donors (as listed above) who have dedicated funds to target and support outstanding start up SACCOs who show the initiative and potential towards real growth and sustainability over a short period of time.
