Now, they need your contact details—your name, email, and mobile number. Yes, they might actually call you—so make sure your phone isn’t permanently on silent.
Next, it’s time to talk business. They’ll ask about your company name, business registration number, and whether you’re VAT registered. Not registered for VAT? No problem. But if you are, you’ll need to provide that all-important VAT number. They’ll also want to know how much money your business is making (don’t worry, no one’s judging).
Do you have a physical store, or is your business entirely online? Maybe you’re already selling on platforms like Amazon or eBay? Takealot wants to know how big (or small) your empire currently is.
Then, it’s time to introduce your products. Do you have a warehouse full of stock, or do you manufacture on demand? Are your products locally made, imported, or a mix of both? And are they branded, unbranded, or a bit of both? This info helps Takealot match you with the right services and potential customers.
If you have a website or social media page, now’s your chance to show it off. If you don’t, no stress—just upload some photos of your stock (preferably good ones; no blurry, potato-quality images, please).
Now, for the fun part: bragging. Tell Takealot what makes your business or products unique. Do you have any special certifications (ISO, Proudly SA, ICASA, etc.)? What products are you planning to list? This is your moment to sell yourself!
Finally, let them know how you found out about Takealot—Google, Facebook, a friend who won’t stop talking about how much they’re making? Then, agree to the privacy policy, hit submit, and that’s it!
Before you know it, you could be the next big thing on Takealot—so start prepping your products and get ready to sell! 🚀
