Being a new entrepreneur, it's very common to feel lost at times. In fact, seasoned entrepreneurs also encounter such situations at times when they need help.
Business advisors, mentors and consultants are though the best source of help, they are not always available for a variety of reasons, i.e. your budget doesn't aloow hiring a consultant, the mentor you want to go to is already booked and so on.

Here are few I really like and I am sure, you will find their advice very useful!

Doing Business in South Africa; what is the Best Marketing Strategy
Well, marketing strategy for any two different products for
the same market can be different, depending upon the product type, demand of
the people and of course the most preferred communication channels.
Having working on one of the best small
business ideas for South Africa is not enough for the success, until
you know the right mode of communication.
Modes of communication are though standard around the world,
the usage stats and the preferences are different in different regions and so
South African people have specific communication preferences.
Use of cell phones is very high and so you should be
expecting masses to be using SMS more than email.
So, you may rely less on spending on internet marketing and
look more into the SMS marketing!
But, wait, this is just an assumption. Better is to conduct
a proper marketing research to figure out the right marketing strategy for your
business to be successful in South Africa.

Setting up a Free Zone Establishment in Dubai
I never knew that Dubai is such a fertile land for business until I stayed and worked here. And now, anyone who is interested in setting up a business in the Middle Eastern region, Dubai will be my top recommendation. So, if you are the one looking to explore the UAE business grounds, do check these best small business ideas for UAE.
The most interesting it has become due to the free zones that offer 100% foreign ownership. Well, a Free Zone Establishment or FZE is an establishment formed and registered within the Free Zones and regulated solely by the Free Zone authorities.
In order to set up a FZE, you must have a capital of at least Dh.1 million and liability will be limited to the amount of paid-up capital. As an FZE, it needs a single shareholder and is an independent legal entity.
To form a company under free zone, you must submit a completed application to the Free Zone authorities that may take up to 30 days for them to make a decision. And you can start operations, right after you receive the approval from them.
Here's my post on list of Dubai free zones. Explore all of them and see which suits your business ideas most. Once decided, a good idea is to get help of a company formation agent for a hassle free process.
