Autorenporträt
The author of this book is a qualified advocate (non-practising) with extensive experience as an in-house regional general counsel for multinational companies. Proudly South African, he has a deep appreciation for the country's diverse people. Despite acknowledging the challenges faced by South Africa, he holds a strong belief in the potential of its people - their grit, grind, and resilience. The author's decision to leave the corporate world and establish his own consultancy business was motivated by a desire to break free from corporate constraints, take control of his own destiny, and immerse himself in the entrepreneurial world while leveraging his legal background. Achieving a better work-life balance, which he found difficult to reach at a senior corporate level, was another significant goal. While he is poorer for not having a regular income, he sees himself as richer for having a better work-life balance and for embarking on a new journey - not just a new chapter, but a whole new book, so to speak. While setting up his own business, the author was surprised by the lack of a comprehensive resource on conducting business in South Africa for entrepreneurs, small businesses and start-ups. Although there are many great resources available on specific topics, there was a notable absence of a guide that consolidated general information applicable to all businesses. It was this realisation that prompted him to author this book, intending to provide a practical guide for those navigating or considering a similar entrepreneurial journey. This book also aims to help existing companies looking to transform their legal entity for various reasons and to offer valuable insights into the South African culture and business environment for international companies looking to set up a local subsidiary. The aim of this book is to provide readers with a concise overview of the legal requirements and processes involved in various areas. Rather than going into the intricate details of each law, regulation, topic or registration procedure, the primary focus is to offer sufficient information for readers to obtain a basic understanding of what is needed and the necessary steps to be taken. It acknowledges that subjects such as taxes, employment, business plans, financial statements, marketing, operations, laws, and other topics are vast and complex, and an entire book could be written on each of these topics. The author hopes that readers will find immense value exploring the wide range of topics covered in this book as they embark on their own adventure.
