The\u00a0Retail Trade<\/strong>\u00a0sector comprises establishments engaged in retailing merchandise, generally without transformation, and rendering services incidental to the sale of merchandise. The retailing process is the final step in the distribution of merchandise; retailers are, therefore, organized to sell merchandise in small quantities to the general public. This sector comprises two main types of retailers: store and nonstore retailers.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Real Estate and Rental and Leasing<\/strong>\u00a0sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in renting, leasing, or otherwise allowing the use of tangible or intangible assets, and establishments providing related services. The major portion of this sector comprises establishments that rent, lease, or otherwise allow the use of their own assets by others.<\/p>\n

In light of the above, the economic growth of South Africa underlines that it is an economy that should be taken into consideration if your company is looking for new markets to explore and to invest in.<\/p>\n
