Why we exist
More than a shop selling documents
Most people who need a business plan are not consultants. They know their trade and their customers; what they need is the structure: how the business makes money, what it costs to start, who buys, and what sits behind the numbers.
Each Smatbiz plan sets that out for a specific South African business, in a form you can edit and take to a funder, a bank or your own planning. When a business does not fit the catalogue, we write one for it.
Practical, local and affordable
Written for South Africa
Rand figures, local customers and the information NYDA, SEFA, banks and tender panels ask for, rather than a template written for another market.
Editable, not locked
A Word plan and an Excel model you can change: your name, your location, your prices and volumes. The numbers recalculate as you edit.
Priced for people starting out
A ready-made plan is R899, and a custom plan starts from R2,499. Between a free template and a consultant’s fee.
