The aim of the Business Blue-Book is to give professional people and business executives an annual standard work of reference that helps them to organise their affairs in a legal and efficient manner. The book brings together relevant facts and abridged legislation needed to conduct a business in South Africa. It presents the selected essentials so that they are up-to-date and easily found. The Business Blue-Book is a reliable point of first reference. Those thinking of committing themselves or their companies to contracts, or perhaps suing, are urged in their own best interests to refer to the original Act or document, or to consult an attorney or a tax adviser.
