Can you Help with Business Plans and Finance?

Absolutely! We've helped numerous businesses with their business plans who were either startups or growing businesses that needed grant funding or loans!

It's important to note that generally financiers will only consider loans to business at least 12 months old with a turnover greater than R1m. Grant funding might seem a better option, however, governement agencies move to their own rythym so there can be a delay in obtaining funds!

We have partnered with fintech companies that provide Debtor Finance and Project/Purchase Order finance, although the success of your apllication depends on the strength of your financials!

Can you Help Create a Business Strategy?

It's inevitable that finance and strategy is not mutually exclusive. Numbers flow from the choices and strategy adopted. We will always have a discussion on strategy, however if you require us to undertake additional work, this unfortunately is outside of the scope of accounting services and will result in additional costs!

Would you be Able Help with Digital Marketing and our Website?

We have a decade of digital marketing experience working with Google, Facebook, Email marketing and LinkedIn. We can therefore, help with your overall marketing strategy and individual campaigns to drive leads and build brand awareness to increase your revenue and customer base. Additionally, just having a website is an idle asset and needs to be leveraged for the above using sales funnels!

As with strategy this is an additional service beyond the scope of accounting services and will incur additional fees depending on the work undertaken!
