Frequently asked questions
to help you better understand
We take pride in our ability to learn the fundamentals of virtually any industry or technology quickly. Some of the markets we serve in include green technologies, medical devices, biotechnology, Internet/ e-commerce, telecommunications, distance education /e-learning, real estate, financial services, healthcare services, manufacturing, retail, food service, consumer products, media and entertainment, aerospace, artificial intelligence, enterprise software, insurance, energy, and networking. Having said that, we believe that the value we bring to the table is not industry expertise — which you already possess in abundance — but rather an understanding of what investors like to see in a potential opportunity.
Every situation is unique. However, some fairly common steps include the following:
- Initial discussion to understand your basic needs.
- Review your existing materials (business plans, financials, market research, competitor research, etc.).
- Follow-up discussion to clarify details and agree upon the scope and fees for the project.
- Several in-depth discussions to better understand the details, develop strategies, and agree on all major elements of the business plan and financial model.
- Conduct additional research, as needed.
- Draft Presentations and review with you to ensure that all parties agree on the high-level vision.
- Prepare a draft outline of the aquired service for your review.
- Begin filling in the details on the draft. Obtain and incorporate your feedback.
- Incorporate your revenue and expense models into the financial model, and explain how it works so that you can take “ownership” of the financials.
- Finalise all deliverables.
- Provide ongoing support, including making minor updates to the deliverables.
Depending on how we structure the project, you should expect to spend anywhere from 10-30 hours on the process over the course of a typical engagement.
In general, we charge a pre-determined fixed fee. The fee is determined by:
- The scope of the project, in terms of the tasks and documents you require help with.
- The sophistication and specific needs of your target audience and business structure.
- The quality of your existing materials, including early drafts of business plans, financial forecasts, competitive research, etc.
- The clarity of your vision for your business model, financial plans, IT structure, etc.
- Your availability and willingness to participate in the preparation of the project.
- The complexity of your industry and business model.
- The availability of industry information.
- The desired timing relative to our workload. In general, “rush” jobs will carry a substantial premium over projects that can be completed as our schedule permits.
Because of these factors, the fees for a typical project, consisting of a particular service can range from a few thousand Rands to several tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Rands. By the way, if you are “price shopping,” you should know that price doesn’t tell the whole story. After all, would you choose one car over another simply because of price? Of course not – there are many dimensions you need to consider.
We are headquartered in Waterfall, Midrand, and have an international mobile working system for our consultants, thus not limited to any geographical area. We rely heavily on the phone, e-mail and online meeting tools. If desired, we are available to visit you at your offices for a day or two at a time.
Yes, some of our clients are start-ups. If you’re an entrepreneur developing or refining your business model, mapping your business operations, or simply seeking expertise of our service offering, then our firm can bring significant impact and expertise to your start-up.
