Running a business? Tired of constantly replenishing supplies? Takealot announced today that it was resurrecting the Takealot for Business platform, a B2B procurement service aiming to make restocking your office that much simpler, regardless of your stature as a startup, SMME, or well-known mega corporation.
Getting down to Takealot for Business
That’s the plan, anyway. Whether Takealot’s new B2B strategy will survive this second coming remains to be seen. With the division offering everything from office supplies, tech, furniture, and even catering supplies — on top of the 30-day interest-free payments, business-specific coupons, and rebates on offer — it’ll be difficult to fail.
“We recognise that behind every purchasing decision is a person trying to get things done as quickly, efficiently, and stress-free as possible,” said Marlise Bosman, head of Takealot for Business. “The launch of Takealot for Business is our commitment to making their lives easier, allowing them to focus on their core business, while we take care of the rest.”

Businesses making major purchases are eligible for rebates of up to 5%, depending on the size of the order and the category of item they’re buying. The division also offers businesses Takealot vouchers as “perfect for staff incentives or corporate gifting,” with the bonus of “unlocking extra savings,” according to the retailer.
To get your business set up, you’ll need to apply to the Takealot for Business programme here — and provide a valid registered company registration number or VAT number. Should the retailer accept your application, you can begin placing your orders as a ‘Takealot for Business Buyer’.
