We are currently situated in Struisbaai, Western Cape. Running a successful carport and outdoor blind manufacturing and installation business. The business in Struisbaai is almost at a stage where it can be managed remotely. We are concidering relocating to Potchefstroom, and opening a second branch there.
We have a niche market here in Cape Agulhas and rely mostly on word-of-mouth advertising. Our work and service delivery is of an excellent quality, and we manufacture everything, ourselves in our workshop. This does mean that we are not the cheapest, but what we install survives the Seaside Cape storms, and we will adapt to whatever weather conditions we encounter in Potchefstroom.
In addition to carports and blinds, we also manufacture small goods such as boat and bakkie covers, backpacks, travel bags, pet beds, planter bags and anything else our clients come up with.
Is there a market for our products in Potchefstroom? Is the economic climate good for a new business? What is the lifstyle of Potchefstroom like?
I would sincerely apprciate your views as consumers and business owners.
