Legal services

The market for legal services in the Eastern Cape is worth about R16 million, which is a decent size. Unfortunately, it's not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for a share of the existing pie. With only 10 suppliers currently serving 5 government departments, it's relatively uncrowded, which could favour your organisation if you can offer competitive services. The Department of Justice and other departments in the province are looking to allocate about 16% of this spend to black-owned businesses, so if your business qualifies, that's a good opportunity. If I were you, I'd research the current suppliers and departments, like the Department of Justice, to see where you can offer a better service and get a foot in the door.
