This is how you can pivot your business during the national lockdown

For business owners struggling to restructure their businesses - perhaps looking at different ways of utilizing resources can be a solution. 

The Scenic Drive invited a few business owners for a telephonic interview to find out how they pivoted their businesses to survive during the national lockdown. 

Business 1: Co-Cleanse 19 Disinfectant Tunnel Solutions

Bianca Bezuidenhout was a Salon Therapist for almost six years. She and her husband, Deon, who is an engineer, developed disinfecting tunnels. Customers walk through the tunnel and get disinfected with a sanitizing spray. 

The tunnel is worth R40,000. According to Bezuidenhout, they are making more money than they used to. They have been able to pay all their employees and even created more jobs.

Business 2 – Bee’s Bling and Beautiful Things

Owner Anet started her business three years ago with R240. She’s been selling jewellery at craft markets and to stores, and hairdressers. She was in IT before embarking on her current endeavour. After craft markets and hairdressers closed she thought: “I have a laser cutter, what can I make with this?”

She invented no touch door openers and button pushers.
