Common questions

Is there enough tender work in Free State?
35 Free State tenders are open right now, out of 4 838 on record. Every one of them names its buyer, closing date and what it requires from bidders.
How much does licence & permit assistance cost?
R1 200. Handled by our team within 14 working days of payment. Timelines vary by local authority; we keep you updated.
Does my business need a trading licence?
It depends what you do. Under the Business Act 71 of 1991 certain categories need a municipal trading licence, most commonly businesses that sell, prepare, or handle food (restaurants, takeaways, caterers, spaza shops) and health or beauty establishments (hairdressers, barbers, beauty and nail salons). Trading without a licence you are required to hold is an offence.
What is a Certificate of Acceptability?
A certificate a food business obtains from its local municipality's environmental health department, confirming the premises meet the minimum hygiene and food safety standards for that type of food business. It is separate from a trading licence.
Do you submit my applications for me?
No. This is a guidance and assistance service. We tell you exactly what you need for your business in your province, help you gather documents, and walk you through each authority's process, but you submit and you remain responsible for the accuracy of the information.
Why does it take 14 working days?
Requirements differ by business type, province, and local authority, so the checklist has to be built for your specific case rather than pulled off a shelf. Processing times at local authorities themselves are outside our control.

Have your bid checked before you submit

Most rejected bids never reach the pricing stage — a missing form, an unsigned page, an expired certificate. We check yours page by page against that tender's own requirement list.

This is a guidance and assistance service. We do not submit applications on your behalf; you remain responsible for accuracy of all information and compliance with local authority requirements. Processing times at local authorities are outside our control. Some permits require in-person inspections; we can advise but cannot substitute for authority requirements.
