Takealot launches new service for South African businesses
Takealot launches new service, Takealot for Business, marking a major step in South African e-commerce. The company aims to simplify procurement for businesses of all sizes, from startups and SMMEs to established corporations. With this relaunch, Takealot strengthens its position as a B2B procurement service provider, offering innovative business solutions tailored to local market needs.
The Takealot for Business platform enables companies to streamline purchasing, enjoy 30-day interest-free payment terms, and access exclusive business coupons and rebates. It covers a wide range of categories, including IT equipment, office supplies, catering products, and more. By offering a single-supplier solution, the platform reduces operational complexity for businesses and enhances efficiency.
B2B procurement service designed for South African enterprises
Marlise Bosman, Head of Takealot for Business, explained: “We recognise that behind every purchasing decision is a person trying to get things done as quickly, efficiently, and stress-free as possible. 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.”
With Takealot for Business, companies gain access to a robust procurement system designed to tackle common business challenges such as cash flow constraints, limited resources, and intense competition. Interest-free accounts and streamlined logistics solutions aim to reduce overheads and simplify operations for business owners.
Bosman added, “At the end of the day, business owners want one less thing to stress about. That’s why we created a platform that takes the hassle out of buying for business.”
New products and services expanding Takealot’s ecosystem
Takealot is also diversifying beyond B2B procurement. The group recently launched Takealot Fulfilment Solutions (TFS), a standalone unit for international trade.

The aim is to transform Takealot from South Africa’s largest e-commerce retailer into a tech-driven fulfilment partner, simplifying importing and exporting for businesses.
Additionally, Takealot introduced a home loan hub in partnership with MortgageMarket. This web app allows users to compare offers from multiple South African banks via a single application, streamlining the loan application process. According to the retailer, “It’s like adding a home loan to your cart.”
