When an individual just started his own business, it might be difficult for them to navigate and understand how this market functions, and very often we can see that some businesses close down after two years because they did not have access to the right information and resources. Therefore, it is important to foster entrepreneurship to create an environment where potential businesses can have access to proper support to make their business successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Business Association in Mauritius plays a crucial role in the life of entrepreneurs. They come up with diverse solutions to help them in their business ventures. Below you will find the ways they achieve this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Firstly, we have the National Women Entrepreneur Council (NWEC) that aims to foster a culture where women are accepted in business, and promote the expansion of women owned-business. The NWEC provides a variety of services such as training, fairs, exhibits, and access to counselling.\u00a0
These services will help women in numerous ways, for example: business counselling will help potential and existing women entrepreneurs to have a well designed business plan, information on business permits, and licence. There is also a dedicated platform where women can share and exchange on\u00a0 theirexperience, and facilities that are offered to both existing and potential women entrepreneurs. This platform is called \u201cWomen Talk business forum\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Secondly, The Mauritius Chamber of Commerce and Industry regularly organise events, seminars, and conferences. These types of events allow new entrepreneurs to meet with successful businessmen that can provide them with guidance, and tips for their own business. It is also a way to make friends and support other businesses, and talk about issues and trends on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, the small and medium enterprises (SME) offers a wide range of programmes and activities, with the aim of enhancing the skills and knowledge of small businesses. These include topics such as: digital Marketing, management, strategies that can be set, management and finance.\u00a0
