The 2005 SME survey - where are we at?
According to the latest South African Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) survey, SMEs contribute about 30 percent to gross domestic product and absorb between 50 and 60 percent of formally-employed people in South Africa. |
PR & Marketing need to be on same wavelength
Often communications activities fail because the roles of in-house marketing staff and that of the public relations (PR) agency are not clearly defined and one often does not know where the other fits into the picture. |
BEE plays genuine role in business
The number of small and medium-sized companies making genuine empowerment deals is increasing. Kevin de Villiers, CEO of Arcay Investments, says almost all the small and medium company transaction discussions with Arcay start off with a major black economic empowerment component. |
Setting up shop in Cyberspace
The Internet is an essential factor in promoting growth for small businesses, and companies need to create and maintain a presence on the web. |
Don't let your home office affect your home tax-free status
There are clearly advantages to working from home for an individual operating a small business. However, for tax purposes, this can have both advantages and disadvantages. |
