The Biz Bundle is back - and this time, you're the main character
Every entrepreneur knows the feeling. You're building something real - taking orders on WhatsApp at midnight, doing deliveries between meetings, doing the books on a Sunday - and somehow it still feels like you're the supporting act in your own story.
This World Entrepreneurship Day, we're changing the script.
On the 21st of August, the world celebrates the founders, side-hustlers and small business owners who keep economies moving. And this year, we've teamed up with some of South Africa's best-loved brands to celebrate one entrepreneur properly - with The Biz Bundle: Main Character Edition.
One winner. One bundle. Everything you need to level up your hustle.
What's in the bundle
We built this bundle around the jobs every entrepreneur actually needs done:
Get Creating - Sony Creator Kit worth R20,000. Content is currency, and this is the full kit: everything you need to shoot the videos and photos your business deserves, without borrowing your cousin's phone.
Get Seen - R10,000 Orms print voucher. Business cards, banners, shopfront material, stickers for your packaging. The kind of print that makes customers take you seriously before you've said a word.
Get Stocked - R10,000 Takealot voucher. Equipment, supplies, tools of the trade - whatever your business needs to grow, delivered to your door.
Get Chatting - a year of Melon Mobile airtime and data. Your business lives on your phone. A full year of connectivity means every call answered and every order confirmed - no more "sorry, I was out of data."
Get Hustling - a year of stub, plus accountant support. Professional invoices in seconds, books that keep themselves, and a real accountant in your corner when you need one. Tax season, minus the panic.
How to enter
We're not asking for essays. Entering takes less than a minute:
- Follow all the contributing brands - @stub.africa and every #BizBundle partner
- Tag the business you want to see win the bundle in the comments on our competition post. Your own business absolutely counts - this is no time for modesty.
Want an extra entry? Share the competition post to your story - or share a story of your own business and tell us why you should win. Just tag @stub.africa so we can see it.
That's it. Entries close 21 August at 8am, and the winner will be announced on World Entrepreneurship Day, 21 August.
Why we do this
We spend every day with South African entrepreneurs - and we know the hustle is rarely glamorous. It's long hours, hard choices and doing five jobs at once. World Entrepreneurship Day is the one day the spotlight swings your way, and we think it should land on someone who's earned it.
So go on. Tag that business - yours, or the one you can't stop telling people about.
Someone's main character era starts on 21 August. It might as well be yours.
