City of Cape Town pushed to make it easier for new businesses to be created. lockdown Covid_19
A group of councillors has proposed various ways and legislation to make it easier for the City to help facilitate the establishment of new businesses.
"Businesses are limited in terms of their trading areas and we would like to find ways to allow them to trade more freely and make use of public space," he said. "The City must begin engaging immediately with the hospitality and retail sectors in the Cape Town CBD so as to establish the key challenges and the City must begin planning for more public events such as the Greenmarket Square rejuvenation concert, so that they can be rolled out as soon as legislation allows.
Cape Chamber of Commerce president Geoff Jacobs said: “This is something the chamber has been advocating for years. The regulatory framework for businesses, especially small businesses, is too complex and rigid, and the cost of compliance too high. Any efforts to cut down on red tape are to be welcomed, but not as temporary measures, but permanently if we are to see businesses recover post-Covid-19.
