Introduction
Business sectors are groups of enterprises that are divided into primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors. The nature of the business's product or service determines how it is classified. The classification's goal is to determine each sector's and industry's contribution to the South African economy. Businesses play a significant role in making a meaningful contribution across several sectors.
