The Founders Story can be watched on Youtube
Fresh out of matric and without money to get a tertiary education Lindiwe Shibambo did not imagine that one day she would own a domestic worker agency, Maid4U.
Maid4U screens, trains and places reliable helpers as per specifications needed by the potential employer.
The domestic worker turned internal auditor refers to her personal life journey where her 24 months of domestic working experience enabled her to understand the challenges of the industry, while her own struggle in getting a reliable domestic worker increased her insights in this regard.
Today she tells the domestic workers Maid4U places not to look down on the domestic skills they have because every skill counts.
“I had no skills, but I could cook, iron clothes and clean the house and I used these skills to make a living and save up to start “my tertiary education,” Shibambo explains.
Maid4U officially registered in 2008 and opened its doors after the 2010 World Cup in July of 2010 Shibambo had been juggling the agency with her full-time day job till she opted to resign and focus on building MAID4U . The agency has also not been without its fair share of cash flow problems in the past 2 years where it lost a lot of its Commercial Cleaning Contracts and Majority of its clients couldn’t make the monthly payments to the placed employees and Subscriptions to MAID4U
But the business has managed to survive and has shown great potential for growth.
Shibambo is grateful to the incubation by the Shanduka Black Umbrellas initiative, Through this incubation she was able to learn a lot about running a successful business , She is grateful to the DTI/ Small Business Ministry for identifying MAID4U as a business that can be packaged as a Franchise so that it can have a much broader reach and high impact in society.
A move she’s grateful she took as the business got the support it needed and became Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) , Accredited for training and tax compliant.MAID4U is in partnership with the Department of Employment and Labour through its ESSA Program
After receiving numerous calls to open Maid4U franchises in various provinces across the country and through the training received from SA Franchise Warehouse in Partnership with the Micro Franchising Program by the DTI /Small Business Ministry , Maid4U was packaged as a Franchise , The idea is to assist and reach out to all like minded entrepreneurs in other provinces outside Gauteng .
