Small businesses contribute towards the Gross National Product of the country and
also provide jobs. More and more people are leaving schools and universities with the
hope of finding jobs but this is not always possible. The best solution for these people
is that they should start their own small businesses in their communities.
Different businesses start because people have identified a need in their community.
Good things about small businesses are that some of them become successful and
eventually turned into franchise. Franchise is one way of starting a business. People
are sceptical of new products, they want the tried and tested products because they
can identify with them. However, the franchisee will always be provided with support
from Head office to ensure that they succeed.
The government has set-up organisations such as Ntsika and Khula that help the
SMMEs with things such as business plans and finance. These organisations help
entrepreneurs free of charge.
This project seek to evaluate those aspects that make some small businesses succeed
and others fail in Mafikeng and Mmabatho area and also to what extend does
management skills affect small skills affect small businesses. The report also looks at
how entrepreneurs use technology in their businesses. / (MBA) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2006
