Informal traders invited to a business licensing workshop

Operating a formalised small business enables entrepreneurs to gain access to funding and certain protections by the law.

The metro is inviting informal traders to a registration and licensing workshop.

In light of this, the Ekurhuleni metro invites all informal traders to a registration and licensing workshop on Tuesday, August 29, at the Vosloorus Customer Care Centre (1993, Barry Marais Road).

Industry leaders and expects in the business registration fraternity will educate hawkers and people running a spaza shop, retailer, restaurant or tuck shop from their home about the benefits of registering their company.

Officials from the metro’s Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department, Economic Development and City Planning will also be on hand to answer any questions businesses owners might have related to bylaw enforcement and business registration processes.
