SA business upbeat on 2010
There are many reasons South Africa is such a great place, Business is definitely one of them
Seventy-five percent of South African companies believe that the 2010 Fifa World Cup will benefit them financially, and are taking steps to capitalise on the country's hosting of the event, according to the latest International Business Report by consultants Grant Thornton.
Releasing the 2007 International Business Report - previously known as the International Business Owners Survey - on Wednesday, Grant Thornton said in a statement that the build-up to the World Cup would boost business sentiment in South Africa.
Three-quarters of the medium to large privately held businesses surveyed in SA were looking forward to "some level of financial benefit" from the World Cup, Grant Thornton said.
"The majority of these respondents (47%) believe that the greatest benefit will be gained in the build-up to the event, while only 14% expect to benefit during the event itself."
According to the survey, 60% of SA companies are considering diversifying their product or service in order to maximise their returns from the tournament, 53% are increasing their workforce, and 46% are making additional capital investments in their businesses.
A third (33%) of the businesses surveyed said they were increasing their geographic spread in preparation for the event and its build-up, while a quarter (25%) said they would be importing more goods from abroad.
Grant Thornton chairman Leonard Brehm commented: "If our country is to meet the growth targets that have been set, all those working in South African business must be able to operate in a safe environment.
"This can only be achieved through strong and sustained action by government security agencies at all levels, supported by a culture of community participation in assisting with the detection and control of crime."
Grant Thornton's 2007 International Business Report is based on research conducted among medium to large privately held businesses in 32 countries, covering more than 7 200 respondents. In South Africa, research was conducted by Research Surveys among 200 privately held businesses employing between 100 and 400 staff.

Wealth Creation
If you wanted to get rich, how would you do it?
We think your best bet would be to start deciding that you want to make money. Once you have the desire the motivation and ideas will follow.
Africa loves the entrepreneur or startup. Startups usually involve work! That’s right WORK, lots of people want to start a business so that they don’t have to work for someone any more. This is a nice idea but once you start your own company you will learn what hard work is, you will also know what it feel like to LOVE your work. Owning your own company has to be on the most exciting and challenging quest you will ever embark on. Lots of people get rich knowing nothing more than that. Blue Label see the drive in Africa and are here to help everyone ride this wave.
