Business Incentives by Enterprise Development Consultants
Enterprise Development Consultants (EDC) specializes in various business incentives offered by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) designed to stimulate investment and growth in specific key sectors of the South African economy.
The DTI has over a number of years formulated business incentives for new or expanding entities that are involved in ‘qualifying’ activities.
Recent business incentives have provided for a Tax-Free cash grant paid over a certain period and subsidizing qualifying assets in sectors such as Manufacturing; Tourism; Aqua-Culture; Agro-Processing and Business Process Outsourcing & Off shoring (Call Centres).
Are you a business owner, do you want to expand your business? Call EDC in Cape Town or Port Elizabeth and find out if your business will qualify for a grant and business incentive from the DTI.
