Africa IS open for business
So the BBC has been running this series this week on whether Africa is open/ready for business. In my opinion, I think it’s ripe and ready and it’s definitely time we started building or enhancing our entrepreneurial spirit on the continent. I had the chance of watching a documentary called Africa Open for Business earlier this year and I must say, definitely inspiring stuff by all the businesses featured! So to all my brothers and sisters still away from the continent, I say, come home and setup something! The small business sector’s growing and this is one of the best times to get into business in a lot of countries on the continent. I believe if we do not take the initiative to build our businesses, then the continent will be left behind for a good time to come. Several governments have began improving their policies towards small businesses and we can only hope that this trend continues all across the continent.
