Team ESP Connect will be discussing and fine tuning the Level 4 Responsible Retailing Framework.
Landlords
Advise your landlords that you will be running an experiment and will be opening for limited retail trade only and that you will not be fully operational as services and treatments are not allowed as yet
It is vital to mitigate their expectations in terms of rent which could be linked to any turnover during this period. As such advise them that you will appreciate that they hold back claiming rental until the situation improves, as this will help your business to survive till level 1 is reached, when we expect to be able to trade.
Suppliers
Ensure you get a list of items that you are allowed to retail from your suppliers.
Essential Services Business Permit
You must have an Essential Services Business Permit for retail supply of Body, Face or Haircare products
Apply here: www.bizportal.gov.za
