FOUNDER'S VIEWS
Entrepreneurship in South Africa
When Entrepreneurs make a decision to open a business, they have not comprehended what it would take to build a successful business day in, day out. They don’t understand that every decision they make in the business has a financial implication, regardless of the business function. Therefore, there has to be integration of all business functions when decisions are made. Entrepreneurs need to understand the world of finance to be able to make informed decisions that are profitable and sustainable.
