SA CHAMBER BUILDS BRIDGES

TO SUPPORT EFFECTIVE

CROSS-BORDER TRADE

- By David White CEO DRG Group

The SA Chamber UK has joined
forces with BusinessFit SA, The
Africa Marketing Initiative (TAMI),
Growth Gateway, Commonwealth
Entrepreneurs Club (CEC), and
a number of quasi government

organisations to help support
the development of business
ecosystems that encourage cross
border trade. This support is
aimed at SMEs to enable them to
trade effectively between SA and
the UK.

The SA Chamber UK has over time built significant relationships with government and
private sector organisations in both the UK and in SA that encourage and support the
growth of SME trade between SA and the UK, and vice versa.

The collaboration between the SA Chamber UK, BusinessFit SA, TAMI, CEC, and Growth
Gateway is intended to significantly fast track effective trade, and to impact SME confidence
and opportunity.

BusinessFit SA
BusinessFit SA is a private sector organisation, assisting SMEs (and larger organisations)
to prepare themselves for cross-border trade. It is simply not possible for most
organisations considering trading internationally to identify trading opportunities,
engage with appropriate support partners, understand local licensing, administrative

and reporting requirements, and meet local statutory and compliance obligations.

The BusinessFit SA service follows a 5 Stage Quality Assurance process which helps business
leaders build solid governance centred frameworks for their organisations, creating a
common language for the business which defines ‘what makes the organisation work’, and
detailing how individuals and teams contribute individually and collectively towards ensuring

that the organisation meets it operational measures and stakeholder expectations.
