Business Dynamics and Challenges
Business Activities:
KLRK Enterprise operates in the beauty and personal care sector, providing professional hair and beauty services to the local community in Bethlehem. The business offers a range of services that include hair styling, cutting, washing and treatment services, braiding, weaving, and basic beauty care tailored to client needs.
Challenges/Needs:
Upon returning to Bethlehem, Mambehle faced several obstacles. She did not have a formally registered business, lacked proper marketing materials and had no operational structure in place. At the time, the business had no turnover and no recorded profit, which limited its ability to grow or create employment opportunities. Access to professional business support and guidance was a critical gap.

Mambehle approached SEDFA for advice and business development support. Through SEDFA’s intervention, KLRK Enterprise received assistance with the formal registration of the company, enabling it to operate legally and professionally. In addition, the business was supported with marketing material which improved its visibility, credibility and ability to attract customers within the Bethlehem area
