South Africa and Australia share the English language, our legal systems could be cousins and business opportunities abound in both places. How different could it be to do business in Sydney or Melbourne than Cape Town or Johannesburg? Let’s face it, if you can make it in South Africa, you can make it anywhere. Surely?Pour them another Castle and they’ll tell you it doesn’t work like that.Australian business has its own language. The difference might be as subtle as that between Capetonians and Jo’burgers, but there’s room for plenty of money to slip between subtleties.Paul Netto paid his share of “school fees” incurred by anyone not properly prepared for the translation to Australian business practices.Seven years ago he arrived from Jo’burg, where he was running his family’s paint manufacturing business. Today, he owns a successful storage business in Australia and an expanding commercial property portfolio. But a lot of hard-won experience happened in between.After spending years navigating the differences between doing business in South Africa and Australia, Paul now guides fellow South Africans around the potholes—and hidden mine shafts—that mark the route.He established the Centre for Entrepreneurial Excellence (CFEE) to give practical advice to fellow South Africans, steering them away from traps they won’t see, so they can more quickly access the abundant opportunities Australia offers those with an entrepreneurial spirit and commercial acumen.The CFEE provides one-on-one mentoring to a strictly limited number of entrepreneurs who don’t see the need to learn the hard way.If you want to make a transition to doing business in Australia faster, at less cost and with far less frustration, contact Paul about taking one of the remaining spots.
