With its advanced infrastructure, strong financial sector, and strategic location, South Africa is the ideal base for companies looking to enter Africa. The country imposes no restrictions on foreign ownership, allows for easy repatriation of profits, and provides seamless access to regional trade networks like the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

ETL GLOBAL Member WerthSchroeder Inc. has compiled the Investment Guide South Africa 2025 to help businesses understand the essentials of setting up operations. The guide covers company structures, tax regulations, corporate compliance, and Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) requirements—critical factors for success in both private and public sector engagements.

For companies planning long-term growth in Africa, South Africa offers a stable and efficient entry point. Download the full guide to understand the key steps and legal considerations for establishing your business.

For German SMEs, additional support is available through the BAFA Consulting Voucher Program, which provides government funding of up to €49,572 per year for businesses looking to expand into African markets. WerthSchroeder Inc. is an official consulting firm for this program, helping companies secure funding and develop market entry strategies. The program has been prolonged until 31 December 2027.
