Domestic and personal assistance

Your business is looking at a market in Limpopo for domestic and personal assistance services that's worth about R7 million. This market is relatively small and not growing, with no year-over-year growth, so you'll need to be strategic to get a foothold. It's also a fairly crowded space, with 12 suppliers already working with the single department that's buying these services. The good news is that there's a strong favour towards black-owned, women-owned, and youth-owned businesses, with nearly 68% of the allocation going to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with the department and highlighting your business's ownership structure to take advantage of the favourable allocation percentages.
