If you have green fingers, there’s a very good chance you’ve heard of Seeds for Africa. Since the business was founded by Grant Muller in 2011, the ecommerce store has become a one-stop-shop for home gardeners, small-scale farmers and commercial growers across South Africa looking for high-quality seeds and gardening essentials.
As an ambitious entrepreneur, Grant describes his journey of leaving a corporate job to follow his passion for plants after recognising an opportunity to buy seeds in bulk, source locally grown varieties, and distribute them to fellow enthusiasts. Grant also shares some tips for other entrepreneurs on how to run a successful business, and his experience of partnering with Payfast by Network for streamlined payment processing on his website.
As Seeds for Africa’s trusted payment partner, Payfast enables seamless transactions and caters to its diverse customer base by offering a variety of popular payment methods.
Grant and his team have also gained value from taking out Easy Advance business funding during their quiet seasons to stock up for busier periods, ensuring uninterrupted service. Find out more how Easy Advance can support your business growth here.
