Starting your own Small Business?

One of the most frequent frustrations businesses contacting the Red Tape Reduction Business Support Helpline Service have raised in the past, was around the process for starting a small business. The Red Tape Reduction unit has developed a really easy to engage video tutorial to demonstrate the key steps, and thoughts to consider when wanting to start a business.

Think of it as an introductory video to test your business idea before preparing the necessary documents and taking steps to run your own business, as well as doing business with the Western Cape Government. Whenever you run into a blockage please contact us, because small businesses are vital to economic growth.

If you’re keen to also become a supplier wanting to do business with the Western Cape Government, please contact the Procurement Client Centre. A tab has been made available on the home page along with some frequently asked questions that might assist you on your journey.

So let's cut red tape together, and expand the number of small businesses contributing to the Western Cape economy.

The guideline is also available for download from the link below.
