South African company the Box Shop is giving small businesses the funding and the space to sell their merchandise and grow their company. After pitching their ideas to the Box Shop, the small businesses are given business feedback and advice as well as a financial advance to buy their raw materials and they now make an average R100,000 ($7,615) per month each.

Since the Box Shop opened in 2016, eighty small businesses have registered and the Box Shop is now planning to open another site in Durban as well as install fifteen pop-up locations across South Africa which will coincide with large-scale events.
