This is probably a topic that has been discussed at several occasions but I would like to have a fresh new discussion on it.

IMO there are two key role players that are seriously over complicating new business in South Africa. They are Government and Financial Institutions (Banks)

Are government introducing new systems and laws that are counter productive for a the growth of new business and reduction of unemployment in South Africa?

Now I do understand the responsibility and benefits that the new companies act brings to owning a business, but I would like to focus on the complicated effect it has on new business startups.

Any thoughts?
