Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa (CCBSA) set out to implement the Bizniz in a Box programme in 2016 as part of the company’s Youth Empowerment Programme. It involves the selection of talented young people who are then given training in marketing, sales, stock management and finance as well as access to funding to start their container business – literally a business in a box.
“Aspiring entrepreneurs in South Africa face a number of challenges including a lack of funding and skills, fierce competition from bigger companies and regulatory challenges. These common hurdles have resulted in high failure rates for small businesses,” says Tsholofelo Mqhayi, head of Enterprise and Community Development at CCBSA. “Through the Bizniz in a Box process, we’re helping young people set up and manage thriving businesses in their communities.”
What sets the programme apart is its incremental process of helping young entrepreneurs operate their own businesses through on-the-job training. The benefit of this approach is that they are assessed on their actual performance in a live environment, rather than in a classroom set-up only. It also gives candidates a true taste of what it’s like to operate a micro business independently.
Participants attend an Entrepreneurial Bootcamp where they are given the basic business skills they need to manage their Bizniz in a Box. Prospective entrepreneurs complete a National Qualifications Framework (NQF) Level 2 accredited programme and demonstrate that they grasp and understand basic financial principles.

They are then allocated a fully stocked container shop and operate the store for a period of two months. During this time they need to use their own initiative to promote the store within the community using direct marketing, promotions and other tools. Once the two-month immersion process is complete, the entrepreneurs who meet predetermined performance criteria graduate and proceed to the next phase, going operational.
At this stage, entrepreneurs begin the exciting task of managing their allocated store. This allows them to gain valuable micro-enterprise-related experience under the guidance and support of CCBSA, business development support consultants and mentors. They must then start making monthly repayments towards the start-up capital outlay of the store and inventory. Once the total repayment process has been completed and the entrepreneur meets the predetermined performance criteria, the store is officially handed over to them.
“Bizniz in a Box works on the basis that the youth repay a portion of the capital cost of the store,” says Akona Sishuba, Enterprise Development project manager. “The money that is repaid is invested in future rollouts of the project, enabling more youth to be supported in their quest to become entrepreneurs.”
Exposure to the programme offers an opportunity to young people to own a micro-business. They are also encouraged to start thinking about other opportunities outside their shop, such as opening up a franchised business.
Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa has also committed to exploring and developing a micro-franchise programme supporting township retail development leveraging Bizniz in a Box, as well as the Owner Driver programme which develops logistics entrepreneurs. These will be used to collaborate with the Tshepo 1 Million township economy programme, a partnership to co-ordinate efforts between government and the private sector to help create opportunities for 1 million youth in the province.
“Given the current economic landscape, prospects for growth and development are limited,” says Sishuba. “Through the Bizniz in a Box programme, youth candidates will be given an opportunity for self-employment, helping to secure their own livelihoods and support their families.”

The ‘Cleaning Business in a Box’ is a complete cleaning business starter package, designed for people with great determination and motivation to succeed in the cleaning industry, even without any formal prior experience.
Why choose this package?
Consider the following choices you have:
You can go it alone if you want to! Here’s what you will face:
- You have to find customers you need to know where they are and how to get to them.Leaflet drops are usually a waste of time and effort. How will you advertise?.
- Your cashflow – how much do you need to get and keep those customers?
- How do you clean for other people? If you don’t know how to clean professionally then you will rapidly lose your customers. Even using their own products and equipment will not bring you success, since you will be expected to know what to do with any cleaning products. Your customers don’t know. You should.
- How do you handle a commercial cleaning contract? How do you get your money in?
- How do you handle the cleaners you may need and do you really need many cleaners?
- How do you sell your cleaning service so that you are the only choice?
- Are you service minded? You are offering a service. Will you give very good service at all times, even if you get to hate the customer?
- When do you get rid of a contract or cleaner ? How should you assess contracts and cleaners?
- Out on your own, you will not get any help or backup when things go wrong – as they inevitably do. If your business fails you probably won’t know how to put it back on the road.
- It doesn’t matter how much time you have spent in any business in any capacity, the cleaning business is like no other business anywhere. Unless you have been in it, and thoroughly understand it you will not be able to run it like any other business. Even franchising wont always help you out here, since many franchises are only management franchises. When the worst happens the business owner should always know how to get out of it. Often they don’t.
- What products and equipment will you need? What are your legal requirements about using and storing these?
- What about risk assessments and method statements? You will need to know all about these sooner or later.
There is a lot more to running a cleaning business although these are the main reasons why 95% of cleaning businesses fail in their first year. Customers hate bad cleaners and they hate amateurs even more. If you are thinking of setting up a cleaning business you could always look at franchising though?
