Nashua joins National Small Business Chamber

Informal Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have dominated South Africa's business landscape since 1994, with a government document called Towards a Ten Year Review revealed that about 2.3 million people have owned at least one VAT unregistered company, with 338 000 owners employing 734 000 people. Arthur Goldstuck, manager of research firm Worldwide Worx has further confirmed the validity of the market, noting that research indicates that there are some 650 000 SMEs in the country.

The NSBC is an organisation dedicated to helping small businesses achieve success by helping them acquire knowledge, stay up to date with the latest business trends and connect with over 30 000 registered SMEs through events and networking platforms.

"The company recognises that small business development is a vital facet of South Africa's economy, and is a critical factor in our country's general growth and progression," says Nashua's marketing director, David Hallas.

"Therefore, the company is delighted to join the NSBC, as it will now have direct access to this market. Subsequently, it will be able to enhance the development of SMEs by providing them with access to solutions that will save them money, increase productivity and foster a culture of sustainable business."

In partnership with the NSBC, the company aims to advise SMEs on how to streamline their business processes and provide them with access to the company's state of the art office automation equipment, cost recovery and variable data printing software solutions and document management solutions.

It will further provide SMEs with direct access to its excellent office automation services, including managed print services and managed document services.

"In any industry, it is essential that businesses have the appropriate tools and knowledge that will allow them to run their businesses more efficiently and optimally. The company believes that its partnership with the NSBC will achieve this goal and help create a better economic future for South Africa," concludes Hallas.
