iFix is an African based company started by Fourie which services all Apple and Samsung electronic products. His company started when he was at college in South Africa where he would help his friends fix and troubleshoot their electronic products. Once multiple people started contacting him to help them, Fourie knew that this idea was one that he could turn into a business.
iFix currently employs 40 people and has branches in multiple locations. Fourie says that the company services over 4,000 customers each month. This company is the first of its kind in Africa and it is evident that his idea has been well received. By using his skills and technology available to him, Fourie was able to develop a business that helps and benefits others.
The potential for success and continued growth for this company seems quite high. Fourie has captured an untapped market. I wonder what problems his business faces from operating in Africa.
