Building and facility maintenance and repair services

The market for building and facility maintenance and repair services in Gauteng is worth about R9.3 million, which is a decent size. However, it's not growing at the moment, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for a share of the existing market. With 65 suppliers already in the mix, it's a fairly crowded space, but it's worth noting that the government is prioritising black-owned businesses, with about 80% of the spend going to these organisations. To get a foothold in this market, you should focus on ensuring your B-BBEE level is up to date, as this will give you a competitive edge. Consider getting your B-BBEE certification in order to take advantage of the government's allocation preferences, particularly the 80% allocation to black-owned businesses.
