QUESTION 5: BUSINESS PLAN
Read the following scenario and answer the questions that follow.
The Blanket Lady – An inspiring story
Elvina Presley is a hawker in downtown Johannesburg
who sells blankets. She is very proud that her
customers can sleep warm every night. From a young
age she wanted to become an entrepreneur and her
dreams finally paid off. “The money I make in the week
is enough to buy everything I need. Things weren’t
always this easy. In the beginning I had no customers,” she added.
Eventually her desire, perseverance and hard work paid off. Although sales are
still good, more and more hawkers started selling blankets in the same area as
she does and the recent pandemic didn’t help either. However, she indicated that
her blankets are of a much higher quality.
“It is time to grow my business. People from Alberton, Springs and Krugersdorp
come to buy blankets from me,” she indicated with a huge smile. But she also
acknowledges that she needs financial help. “I know about bills that I have to pay,
but advertising, paying rent for my storeroom and paying my employees can be a
bit of a challenge.”
