Whether it’s a pharmacy store, a doctor’s office, a private school, a restaurant, a canteen, a tailor shop, an auto-mechanic shop, a car wash, a book, a film, or a piece of hardware, the one trait that every smejvafrica.com campaign shares is that it is a JV project. Defining your smejvafrica.com project is  the first step for every creator/project sponsor.

What are you raising funds to do? Having a focused and well-defined project with a clear beginning and end is vital. For example: recording a new album is a finite project — the project finishes when the band releases the album — but launching a music career is not. There is no end, just an ongoing effort. smejvafrica.com is open only to finite projects.

With a precisely defined goal, expectations are transparent for both the creator/project sponsor and potential Investors/Lenders. Backers can judge how realistic the project’s goals are, as well as the project creator’s ability to complete them. And for creators/project sponsors, the practice of defining a project/JV’s goal establishes the scope of the endeavor, often an important step in the creative process.

SMEJV4Africa thrives on these open exchanges and clear explanations of goals. Make sure your project/JV does this!
