(OPENPRESS) June 6, 2009 -- SA Business Plans the renowned South African business planning and growth consultants recently announced the launch of their June Business Plan Seminar series in South Africa.
Asked about their operations in South Africa where they now have offices in both Johannesburg and Cape Town but have their head office in the Picturesque Southern Cape region of the country, co-founder Ben Botes, who helped establish the firm with partner Lourie Nel said: "SA Business Planning is a full-service business plan solutions provider for new and growing businesses, focusing on business plan consulting, business growth initiatives, financial modeling and the sourcing of venture capital and funding for small and growing businesses. The team has extensive experience within the South African market.
"Our talented and fast growing consulting team has worked with a impressive range of clients in areas such as engineering, fuel distribution for famous franchise brands, software development, Internet, construction, manufacturing, technology, health & beauty, travel & tourism, mining, medicine & pharmaceutical, transport and other high-growth markets.'
After the success that the company has already experienced in South Africa we will be hosting a series of events through out the country supporting small businesses who are applying for bank and investor funding."
The workshop series will focus specifically on supporting clients to gain practical knowledge on:
· How to write an effective business plan and how you can use it
· What is a marketing plan and how to create one that works
· How to tailor the business plan to your targeted audience i.e., the bank or an investor
· How to convince business funders to support your business
· What are the important Financial information that goes into your plan
· How to ensure your business will not run out of cash
· The crucial marketing issues you should focus on and what works for new businesses.
The plan is to develop the business plan writing skills of those attending the events to significantly increase their opportunity to raise the necessary finance with which to start or grow their businesses.
Asked about how they measure their own success and the goals that the company sets for itself, Botes commented that the only true measure of success is whether customers are willing to refer their services to friends and colleagues? It's a wonderfully brutal, no nonsense way of finding out if you did what was expected of you. A yes or no answer with no grey areas. At the end of the day our clients are the real judges of our effectiveness and we do what it takes to keep them happy.
