Janitorial equipment

The market for janitorial equipment in KwaZulu Natal is worth about R1 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 28 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 73% of the spend going to these organisations. To get a foot in the door, you should focus on getting your B-BBEE level in order, especially if you're a black-owned, women-owned, or youth-owned business, as these groups are favoured in the procurement process. Consider getting certified as a black-owned business to increase your chances of securing government contracts in this space.
