Hence, I am really pleased to have a fully fitted container business, to render our internet caf\u00e9 services and even employ someone,\u201d said Beki, owner of BT Safestrip, who is also receiving business training and support.<\/p>\n<p>The container structure serves as an office, shop front and internet caf\u00e9, offering the following services to the community: Business readiness support to new and operational businesses (business registration, tax assistance, business plans\/profiles\/logos\/email\/CSD); graphic design and corporate branding (banners, uniforms, vehicles and building branding).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur aim is to help grow this young enterprise into a sustainable business whilst helping the community to access services without travelling long distances, which is costly,\u201d explained Tsholofelo Moote, economic development practitioner for Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm.<\/p>\n<p>Moote added, \u201cThe community of Thornhill will be able to access services such as business registration, as well as being able to apply for jobs and other essential services that facilitate access to economic opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<h6><span><strong>\u2013 Issued by TM
