Business Advisory Services

Strategy:

Are you starting out or expanding? Struggling to maintain focus, need guidance on finding your way or simply need help defining the Who, What and How of your business?

We’ll help to define your strategy by providing you with frameworks to hang your thinking on and providing guidance on shaping your ideas, or even by just being a sounding board for your ideas.

Our industry experience and network of associates will help to provide solid, non-biased input and advice. Remember though, only you can ultimately define your company’s strategy – we simply facilitate that process!

Business Planning:

As a start-up or early stage company, your business plan is vital to your existence and it needs to be right from the start. We can help systematically put together a structured business plan which will form the basis of your planning and funding applications.

Advice includes detailed financials in a professional planning tool, leaving behind a living model for future use.
We also provide advice on marketing strategies, basic secondary market and industry research and can advise on structuring primary research.

Modelling:

Integral to business planning is financial modelling. Rivonia provide’s detailed financials using a professional financials package which you can then take away for future financial planning and modelling.

We also do financial modelling of your business, helping you to identify the key drivers of revenues and costs and then modelling them in Excel as inputs to our financials tool.

Modelling is further refined by doing risk modelling using Palisade’s @RISK® for Monte Carlo and Sensitivity Analysis or options analysis with Palisade’s Precision Tree®.

Funding:

Taking your solid business planning on to the next step, funding is the next hurdle challenge. Allow our experience in applying for funding to put together a presentation for you based on your business plan.

We also have an extensive network of investors and agents who can assist in connecting you with the right people. An important source is also government funding, but with some 1,500 grants and funds out there it can be difficult to find the right fund. Let us assist in finding the right one for you.

Advisory Board Members:

Through our extensive network of quality experienced individuals in the entrepreneurial world, we can help identify appropriate skills required on your board and identify people to sit on your advisory board.

Not only would they provide the necessary valuable input but will also serve as a valuable networking point via which to grow your contacts in the technology world.

Technology Consulting:

Where appropriate, we provide advice on technology and via our partner Connect2web, provide IT services ranging from hosting, IT strategy and custom software development and integration work.

On the odd occasion we have also provided general management consultancy skills and project management skills. These are normally offered on a short term basis and usually in order to assist a client in getting projects up and running and then continuing on an advisory basis.
