ADVANTAGES OF DOING BUSINESS
Community Well-Being
Locally owned businesses build strong communities by linking neighbours in a web of economic and social relationships, and contributing to local causes.
Local Decision-Making
Local ownership ensures that important decisions are made locally by people who live in the community and who will feel the impact of those decisions.
Keeping the Rand in the Local Economy
Compared to chain stores, locally owned businesses recycle a much larger share of their revenue back into the local economy, enriching the whole community.
Job and Wages
Locally owned businesses create more jobs locally and, in some sectors, provide better wages and benefits than chains do.
Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship fuels South Africa’s economic innovation and prosperity.
Public Benefits and Cost
Local businesses require comparatively little infrastructure and make more efficient use of public services.
Environmental Sustainability
Local businesses help to sustain compact, short travelling distances which reduce air pollution.
Competition
A marketplace of tens of thousands of small businesses is the best way to ensure innovation and competitive prices over the long-term.
Product Diversity
A multitude of small businesses, each selecting products based, not on a national sales plan, but on their own interests and the needs of their local customers, guarantee a much broader range of product choices.
