Many entrepreneurs have the necessary vision, skills and courage required to launch out on their own. However, one of the major reasons for the failure of these small and medium-sized enterprises is their lack of advanced management skills. These skills are usually available only to large companies as a result of their being able to finance the cost of extensive, expensive management teams. CLBC Management Services was founded in Pretoria, South Africa in 1981 to fill this perceived need in non-corporate enterprises. No small enterprise can afford to maintain, on a full-time basis, an accountant, a lawyer, a marketer, a management consultant, a labour expert, a tax expert and a company secretary. A small enterprise could gain access to that expertise from us, in return for a monthly fee.
