Why is there a need for this forum?
This eAfrica BSP "Pocket Advisor" Forum showcases Business Service Providers (BSP's) that have been locally recommended. All too often SME's have difficulty in finding professional support services. Many large national and international service providers carry overhead structures to support levels of complexity that many SMEs do not require solutions to. As a result of the cost of complex and specialised support structures some large BSP's are not affordable to SME's. In addition, large SME's do not offer their services to small business entities as a result of this sector having a reputation for defaulting on payment for services rendered.
