Small Businesses in Johannesburg

Johannesburg is South Africa’s commercial engine. Built on the gold rush of 1886, the city has long since shifted from mining to finance and services: Sandton hosts the JSE, Africa’s largest stock exchange, along with the head offices of most major banks, insurers and professional services firms. Gauteng as a whole generates roughly a third of the country’s GDP, and Johannesburg sits at the centre of that activity. For small businesses this means the densest B2B market in the country — from consultants and accountants serving the Sandton and Rosebank corporate corridor to logistics operators working around City Deep, one of the largest inland container terminals in the world, and OR Tambo International. Whether you need a supplier in Midrand or a service provider in Randburg, the directory below lists Johannesburg SMEs you can contact directly.
