Frequently asked questions
Answers for people applying to the Power Behind The Business Seminar 2026. If your question is not listed, call the help line +27 15 004 1300.
The seminar is for business owners and entrepreneurs. Complete the form fully so the office can assess the enterprise and decide whether a place can be offered.
No. Online registration only sends your file to the office. Confirmation is manual. You will receive an email that the application was received, then a later email if a place is offered, if you are waitlisted, or if the office cannot offer a place.
Do not pay when you first apply. Banking details are sent only after the office pre-approves your application. If you are waitlisted or declined, do not pay.
A venue and catering contribution starts from R1500 per person. That is a starting amount, not a maximum. Give according to your strength, means and ability.
Use the details on your approval email and on the Check status page after approval. Use your application reference number as the payment reference. Send proof to admin@salvationchrist.org.za or WhatsApp +27 66 199 0529, or upload it on Check status.
Open Check status. Enter your reference number (SICM-BS-2026-XXXXXX) and the same email you used on the form.
Search your email for “Application received”. If you cannot find it, contact the office with the email address you used. The help line is +27 15 004 1300.
Places per category are limited. If a category is full, choose another that fits your work, or wait. The office may open a waitlist seat later.
No. Tick the box only if you want the office to share your name, business name, city, category, email and phone with other approved participants and possible suppliers. Leave it empty to keep your details with the ministry only. ID numbers and documents are never shared.
No. The partner questions are required so the office can assist, but the answer does not decide whether a place is offered.
No. If you ask for accommodation assistance, the office will follow up. Accommodation is a separate cost and depends on availability.
Optional CIPC, ID or profile as PDF, JPG or PNG, maximum 5 MB. Proof of payment after approval uses the same file types.
Closing is subject to space. Applications may close when capacity is reached.

Yes. A company may have up to three applications. Typical examples are both spouses in the business, or an owner plus a manager or representative.
Yes. Each applicant uses their own name, email and ID. Do not share one form or one email address.
Use the same official registration number and the same registered or trading name so the office can see you belong to one organisation. A company uses a CIPC number, an NPO uses its NPO number (for example 123-456 NPO), and a trust uses its Master’s number (for example IT 1234/2012). If the business is not yet registered, choose Not yet registered / informal business and use the same trading name. Do not enter NA or N/A.
The website will not accept a fourth application. Contact the office for a special arrangement. Do not invent a second company name or a fake registration number.
Only after that person’s file is offered a place (Stage 3). Each offered applicant follows the contribution instruction in their own email.
Submit two applications. Use the same CIPC and trading name, or the same trading name if the business is not yet registered. Use different personal details and emails. Both files count toward the three-person limit.
Yes. Choose Not yet registered / informal business. A registration number is not required. Use your trading name. The office still reviews the application before a place is offered.
