About Us

What we do

THE BIG IDEA is a series of practical and interactive conferences and focused workshops sessions that assist existing and potential entrepreneurs in developing and growing your businesses by providing practical advice and support.

Big Idea Conferences have, since 2003, been held in Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Vereeniging, East London, Johannesburg and Bloemfontein and have trained over 2000 delegates.

The guest speakers are industry experts discussing topics such as managing cash-flow, business planning, innovative marketing, sources of funding and other skills such as the importance of networking and the value of creativity in the workplace.

The events also include valuable insight from entrepreneurs who share their experiences with participants.

Our aim is to help you realise your entrepreneurial potential- whether you are a new entrepreneur or seasoned business owner looking for ways to boost your bottom line.


In January 2007 The Big Idea joined forces with SABusinessHub, an organisation that is at the forefront of small business development and advocacy in South Africa.

SA Business Hub was created in response to the need of small business owners in South Africa requiring affordable and accessible on demand business training, knowledge and information, Coaching, an online marketplace for goods and services and a national network of small business owners and entrepreneurs.

Our mission is to provide quality Business Coaching, information, products, services, and solutions to small and growing businesses. Through the SA Business Hub Web site, entrepreneurs, businesses, coaches, and business professionals are able to access a comprehensive set of information, tools, and services to start and grow a business, solve business problems, raise capital, enhance sales and marketing, obtain strategic advice, and leverage the business community.
