Startups


Starting out is exceptionally difficult, the prospect of not having many customers with limited funds can be very stressful. Your business is vulnerable to market fluctuations, and you must plan ahead to ensure its survival.

The statistics do not lie; most start-ups fail within the first two years of setting up. The reasons why start-ups fail are not economic or market-driven. Most start-ups fail because of management decisions, their inability to recognise challenges, react and find solutions. Many issues are not picked up quickly enough because they do not have a robust performance management process.

This is where we can help; we can implement a performance management framework so you can quickly detect risks and issues so they can be rectified quickly.

Startup Success Formula


Most successful businesses contain similar attributes. Our startup consultants follow our Business Success Formula on every plan, ensuring your business plan includes everything you need to make your business a success.
