Business Dynamics and Challenges
Business Activities:
Tyre and Brake repairs offer tyre repairs, new and second-hand tyres sales, tyre balancing, brake repairs, and soon, wheel alignment services.
Challenges/Needs:
Tyre Brakes and Repairs is currently undergoing an expansion phase, and following a thorough assessment and site visit, it was determined that the business requires several key business development support interventions and financial assistance to effectively navigate this growth phase. One of the needs identified was improved signage. The business is situated among a cluster of panel beating businesses, with a high volume of vehicles, including cars and trucks, parked in the surrounding area. As a result, it is often difficult for potential customers to locate Tyre Brakes and Repairs, leading them to mistakenly visit neighbouring businesses instead. This lack of visibility is a significant factor contributing to the loss of potential customers.
