Being a South African and coming to do business in the USA is a tremendous challenge even for the most capable business professionals. It takes years of experience and many mistakes without guidance. The success rate of companies doing business in a foreign country without professional assistance is very small. In the beginning, it is not so much what you know, but who you know.

There are many adjustments to be made in a new market, and unpleasant surprises await the uninformed. Often you find out to late that what worked in your country does not necessarily work in your new competitive environment. This is a shock that many unwary companies go through. Getting to know the right people at the outset will save time and money.

By joining the Chamber, you may avoid many of these expensive and frustrating mistakes. Learn from the SAUSACC members that have proceeded you, and from the body of knowledge that resides in our membership base.

Help yourself by joining SAUSACC and take advantage of our growing programs and benefits to members.

 I have dedicated myself to SAUSACC and its mission, which is to assist members in increasing their success rates as they embark on the new challenge of international trade. 

We will ensure our members make the right contacts early in the process, so that their experiences will be profitable ones."

Good luck & 
Good business,
