Richester Foods Launches Its ‘Business In A Box’ Initiative To Help The Unemployed Youth Start Small Businesses. Richester Foods took to Twitter to announce that it has launched an initiative called ‘Business In A Box” that is aimed to help aspiring entrepreneurs to start their small businesses.
The post read, “HEY YOU, YES YOU! Are you a hustler, unemployed, between the ages of 16 to 35 and living in Gauteng?Do you want to start a small business of selling chocolates and sweets, but you have no capital to start? Then the Richester Business In A Box competition is for you! http://t.co/6kKER4cvmr”
Due to the large variety of products manufactured at its premises, Richester Foods can be classified as one of South Africa’s larger sweet manufactures (candy manufactures). Richester Foods distributes its products nationally across South Africa to all major chain stores as well as independent Cash and Carry stores right to the smallest Spaza shop (tea shop,café) in South Africa.
As the country gears up to celebrate Youth Day, Richester Foods has therefore released its Business in a Box initiative to empower unemployed Gauteng youth with a toolkit for starting their own sweets-selling companies. Throughout the month of June, the company will be inviting young entrepreneurial hopefuls to put their names into the hat to win one of 10 kits by entering its competition on social media.
Featuring a range of Richester Foods’ Coco Bongo chocolate-branded merchandise, a how-to guide with tips on running a micro-business, and 12 boxes of 24 individually wrapped Coco Bongo chocolates, the Business in a Box kit is specifically designed to help entrepreneurs create sustainable and profitable businesses.
