Starting and running a business involves adherence to requirements such as having a sound business plan, the appropriate business structure (like a private company), registration with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC), registration with the South African Revenue Service, and securing any necessary registrations and licenses or permits for the relevant industry. These may only form part of the plethora of requirements dictated for running a business in South Africa.
Furthermore, effective management and development of the business will determine success or failure. To assist our clients across this minefield of “must-do’s,” Aptitude Media’s Business Service offering rests on five pillars.
- Registration with the correct statutory and regulatory authorities
- Compliance with the South African legislative and industry regulatory environment
- Business ownership structure as a determining factor for sustainability within the South African business environment
- Business management support through management systems and best practice models
- Business development support in the form of brand and identity communication as well as tender and proposal support services

This comprehensive range of business services is offered in affiliation with SwiftReg, an established member of the Aptitude Media Partner Network.
