Legal services

You're considering getting into the legal services market in Mpumalanga, which is a market worth about R26 million. This market is relatively stable, with no year-over-year growth, and it's not too crowded, with only 17 suppliers currently working with 8 different government departments. The Department of Justice and other departments in the province favour businesses with a good Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment level, with about 16% of the spend going to black-owned businesses. Given the relatively small number of suppliers, it's a good opportunity for your organisation to get a foothold. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with the key departments and getting your B-BBEE level in order to increase your chances of securing contracts.
