A competition that simply wants to hear your story! Behind every small business is a chapter of heart and hard-won progress that deserves to be told, and that could win you R50,000.

 

South Africa (09 July 2026) – Every small business has a story. Some started around a kitchen table. Others began in a garage, a spare room or after hours while juggling a full-time job. Many have survived challenges that could easily have brought everything to a halt. Yet somehow, they kept going.

There was a vision, or a dream, and someone who believed in it followed through. Those stories deserve to be told.

That is what the My Incredible Business competition is about. One deserving small business will walk away with a R50,000 Incredible voucher to invest back into their business. But before that happens, Incredible wants to shine a light on the people behind South Africa’s businesses and the journeys that got them here.

Every successful business starts with a person who believes enough to keep pushing. That’s why we are backing this campaign. At Good Things Guy, we’ve always believed that South Africa is full of remarkable people doing remarkable things, often without anyone hearing their story. Thanks to Incredible, we’re once again helping uncover businesses that deserve both recognition and support.

Whether you’ve built your business from the ground up, overcome setbacks that tested you, or found a unique and interesting way to serve your community, your journey could inspire someone else while putting your own business in the running for a significant boost!

The winning business will receive a R50,000 Incredible voucher that can be used to invest in the technology, appliances and equipment needed to take things to the next level. Use it how you see fit – replace old computers, upgrade office equipment, improve security or invest in tools that save valuable time. The boost is intended to help one business work smarter and grow stronger.

Even if you don’t take the top prize, selected entrants will have the opportunity to have their stories featured throughout the campaign, giving real small businesses valuable exposure to audiences across South Africa!

“It’s the kind of free exposure and recognition that can open doors you never even thought possible.”

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to put your business forward, this is it friends.

Entries for My Incredible Business Season Two close at the end of August, so there is no time like the present to get your business in the running!,

Entering only takes a few minutes. Register your business, share your story, and you could be the next entrepreneur we celebrate.

After all, your business is more than what you sell. It’s everything you’ve overcome to get here.

And that story could be worth R50,000.

“Opportunities like this are rare. Don’t let doubt hold you back! Your story deserves to be told, and your business deserves to thrive. Tell us your story, share your vision, and let’s show the country the incredible things your business is capable of achieving!”


Good Things Guy has once again proudly partnered with Incredible to bring the My Incredible Business campaign to life. Together, we’ll be sharing the inspiring stories of small and medium-sized businesses across South Africa… the innovators, the job creators and the dreamers who turn ideas into livelihoods.
As South Africa’s largest tech retailer, Incredible makes first-to-market innovation accessible to all. Through their division, Incredible Business, they’re working to equip SMEs with the tools and technology needed to thrive, from laptops that keep the books balanced, to printers that keep the admin flowing, to screens that turn a family restaurant into a game-day hotspot.
At the heart of this campaign is a powerful promise: to celebrate and support local businesses.
We can’t wait to share these stories with you. Stories of resilience, passion and the courage to dream bigger. This is where ambition meets innovation and where South Africans get to see what it truly means to Be Incredible.
