Origin and Purpose
Shift Africa is formalising the informal sector
Shift Africa is an eLan Property Group business initiative, that combines Corporate Social Responsibility with general business sense. Shift Africa empowers existing and prospective business owners, with the objective of creating as many sustainable small businesses as possible around a catalytic hub. Through various business hubs, starting at Blythedale on the North Coast, this initiative will provide small businesses with opportunities, training, and connections, in their bid to become autonomous and self-sustainable.
Eight Pillars of Development
Through the identification of key business hubs that have significant business potential, Shift Africa sets about establishing business pillars and business pillar partners. A business pillar partner (BPP) is the business that represents each primary pillar. Each BPP is trained, developed and empowered to build a business within a business and locked into a high-performance accountability system.
Key to a BPP’s long term sustainable success, is the requirement to source their own downstream business partners (Tier 2 or secondary businesses) that not only participate in the business but have vertical ownership. This structure is repeated to Tier 4 (lower level business).
