Mobile Car Wash
Start from R5,000
Potential R75k/mo

Average 10 cars/day at R300 each = R3,000/day. 25 working days = R75,000/month revenue. Start with a pressure washer, bucket, and mobile stand.

Tuck Shop / Spaza
Start from R3,000
Potential R40k/mo

High foot traffic near taxi ranks or schools. Low overhead, cash-based, fast restocking cycles. Best location wins.

Digital Marketing Agency
Start from R0
Potential R70k/mo

10 clients at R7,000/month = R70k. Help local businesses with Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. No inventory, just skills.

Pressure Washing
Start from R8,000
Potential R35k/mo

Jobs from R500 to R5,000 each. Driveways, walls, roofs, paving. A few solid jobs per week builds quickly.

Why we exist
"Most South Africans who want to start a business get a generic list of ideas and zero direction. They don't need another blog post. They need someone to say: here's what to do with R15,000, here's why it works, and here are your first five steps."
