Who We Are
Community Business Owners (CBO) is more than just a networking platform. CBO is where local SME business owners meet in-person through monthly chapter meetups; but more importantly they build business friendships and partnership; collaborating daily to grow their business and those of their fellow CBO members. In addition, CBO hosts online training, webinars and courses and our annual CBO event in July. PLUS, we host a Year-End function for small businesses that never get to have such a function! AND there are no formal membership fees that members pay!
The CBO Purpose is “Growing and promoting community businesses to empower, strengthen and uplift the local community economy”, with the aim of having a chapter in every town across South Africa.
Our Vison is stated as ”Becoming the number one community business focused platform in South Africa”.
What sets CBO apart is the 5 key Values we continually strive for:
- Think Local (Putting the local business community first through referring each other)
- Support Local (Building each other’s businesses through buying local)
- Ethically & Morally Sound (Supporting businesses that stick to an ethical and moral code)
- Striving for Excellence (Always giving our best to each other and the greater community)
- Accountability (Being accountable to each other to maintain our values and CBO ethos)
