Professional artists and performers

The market for professional artists and performers in Gauteng is relatively small, with a total spend of about R200,000. Unfortunately, it's not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for a share of a stagnant pie. The market is also quite crowded, with 7 suppliers already vying for contracts from just 2 departments. It's worth noting that the government is favouring businesses with a strong black economic empowerment programme, with about 39% of the allocation going to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd focus on building a strong B-BBEE level and networking with the key departments in Gauteng to get a foot in the door.
