Expert insights to give your business the extra edge

Today is Small Business Friday
The National Small Business Chamber (NSBC), with Title Sponsor Nedbank, is gearing up for its fifth Small Business Friday tomorrow, Friday 2 September. The movement is about mobilising all South Africans to support their local small businesses. It’s a one-day high action drive on the first Friday of Spring every year, to celebrate and recognise the importance of the small business community. We really want the nation to get behind this movement and ‘Go BIG’ by supporting the small. Entrepreneurship is one of the cornerstones of the South African economy and it is thus vital to sustain this sector. It remains important to keep reminding people to get involved and support small business.READ MORE
