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

 

 

Four ways being a small business is an advantage
Despite having a small customer base, a small team of employees and small marketing budgets, a small business has many advantages over larger corporations.

 

Patents: time to be inventive
A patent is an exclusive right granted by a government that allows the patentee to exclude anyone else from making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the patented invention without his permission.

 

 

Bilateral trade agreements make importing easier
A trade agreement is a contract, agreement or pact between two or more nations that outlines how they will work together to ensure mutual benefit in the field of trade and investment.

 

Reasons why starting a business is a great idea
All agree that business comes with immense challenges, particularly when starting and growing one from scratch. But being an entrepreneur comes with great benefits and advantages.
