Business Dynamics and Challenges
Business Activities:
Wheelchair Repair - Services
Challenges/Needs:
The company could not reach the target market in a professional way. It was only having an idea and skills without reaching a potential market and clients. There were no resources to market and grow the idea.
Intervention Insights and Results
Intervention Details:
The client approached SEDFA in 2023. SEDFA did an assessment on the client, and the client was assisted with marketing and promotional material.
Outcome Details:
This enabled the owner to grow the business by sourcing and marketing it. The pamphlets and company profile developed enabled the client to market at local clinics, old age centres, and people with disability centres. The idea grew into an income-generating centre. Developing from being non-functional to an income-generating business. Income generated from R0 in February to R34 700, 00 currently and employment grew from one (1) person to two (2) people, which is equal to 100% growth.
Client Feedback
Client Comments:
I was becoming hopeless and disillusioned, but the pain and struggles of the disabled people like me motivated me that someone would help me one day. That’s exactly what SEDFA did: helped me. Thanks, SEDFA, for your assistance in this regard
