The latest Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Report found that 28-percent of South African entrepreneurs are over the age of 45.

This group had reportedly grown by 40-percent since 2010.

Executive director of Business Partners Limited Christo Botes says entrepreneurs are traditionally associated with being relatively young individuals.

He added that this shows that a vast amount of entrepreneurial growth has happened amongst older individuals.
