Start a Business

Discovery Phase

Taking cognisance of the unique skills and personality of the entrepreneur, we analyse the market and assist with the creation of a business plan that will become a practical guide and compass for the business. The steps are:

• Conduct a skills assessment to establish the technical skills an entrepreneur could monetise.
• Conduct a personality assessment to build awareness in the entrepreneur of their strengths and weaknesses.
• Analyse the stakeholders (eg. family, partner, employees and investor) to establish what each party want to achieve, how they can support the entrepreneur and how he or she should maintain those important relationships.
• Conduct a market scan to establish the feasibility of the business idea.
• Perform a readiness assessment to ensure the entrepreneur is prepared.
• Create a business plan which will guide the entrepreneur through his journey.

Company Setup

Although many of the application documents are publicly available, the process can be complicated and confusing. Our approach is to collect all the information, submit applications on your behalf and manage the entire process.

While it is possible to navigate the red tape without assistance, we found that entrepreneurs are more productive when they spend their time thinking about their products and prospective customers.

Technical Setup

“In hindsight, my biggest mistake was to start trading without having proper systems in place. By the time I realised I needed good systems, everything was already moving at a tremendous pace. Then it was like working on a car while it was driving. My growth would have been even more impressive had I prepared my business to scale before it was required” – Victor Kotze, Business Owner.

Marketing

No-one can sell a business’s products better than the owners and they need to live their business ethos and marketing message. We align the business with the requirements of their potential clients by:

• Defining the business’s Unique Selling Proposition (USP) and core marketing message.
• Compiling a profile of a typical client.
• Identify how those clients can be reached.
• Set sales targets.
• Use all this information to compile a comprehensive Marketing Plan which will guide the business with their marketing.

Operations

Most prospective entrepreneurs know how to manufacture the products or services they are going to sell. Yet, when the orders start rolling in and they have to balance production with the running of the business, things can get complicated.

We designed a methodology that will ensure a systems-based approach to operations and allow the business to maintain quality and achieve targets. The highlights of this methodology are:

• Design a costing matrix that will make sure pricing is competitive and profitable.
• Produce a comprehensive Operations Plan that will facilitate a systems-based approach to production.
• Design a Dashboard that will give the owner an overview of the Key Performance Indicators (KPI).
