SMEs in South Africa - the purpose

SMEs in South Africa as a blog is intended to alert SMEs to the macro issues in South Africa which are impacting, or going to impact on their businesses.

SMEs too often become mired in the micro detail of running their businesses, and lose sight of the "bigger picture".

This blog will help SMEs to find out what is happening that will impact on their businesses without having to spend a lot of time looking for information and then trying to understand the impact of what they have found.

Interestingly, they will also find anomalies that exist, which will help them to be a little wiser and more careful in their dealings with big business and government. At times these entities find themselves with conflicting imperatives, and often the SME cannot understand why certain decisions are made.

Then there are the global trends in SME creation, numbers and behaviour. These too will be visited on a regular basis, and their impact on SMEs in South Africa identified.

This will be a weekly blog.
