A scalable Optometry-in-a-Box concept that doubles as a social franchise.
Containers are kitted out as fully functional optometry practices, and set up in townships to serve the people who need them most – at drastically reduced costs.
Four out of every 10 South Africans have trouble with their eyesight. That’s 23 million citizens – making it the country’s number one disability.
But more than 30 million South Africans earn less than R922 per month, making an eye test and glasses – even the cheapest possible – simply unaffordable.
The Vision Box solution meets this need with a high quality, low cost approach:
· By keeping overheads low, reducing rental costs and improving self-sustainability, bulk buying power, direct sourcing and more.
· By cutting out the middle man, avoiding reps, inflated prices and licensing fees.
· By partnering with NPOs, governments, funding platforms, entrepreneurs and distributors to offer a disruptive and strategic solution.
By improving vision, Vision Box improves safety at work, productivity, access to education and ultimately, quality of life.
But Vision Box does so much than restore eyesight. Every single practice is committed to BBBEE entrepreneurship, empowering business leaders and creating jobs.
Each Vision Box optometry practice is fully owned and driven by a black entrepreneur, with a systemised business model to help build successful and sustainable ventures:
· Financial support is offered to potential franchisors without the financial means to get started.
· Owners undergo preparatory training and receive ongoing mentorship and business training once the practice is up and running.
· Every practice runs on strict guidelines around consistency, profitability and sustainability.
Vision Box entrepreneurs are empowered to greatness, in turn impacting thousands of lives and helping to develop township economies.
