Get Ahead with Our Business Plan Writing Service.

1. Since 2006, we have established ourselves as a Leading Business Plan Service to South African entrepreneurs and companies (startup and existing). Our specialist team of Business Plan Writers have compiled hundreds of Professional Business Plans on behalf of clients. 

Our team has experience writing Business Plans and Commercial Proposals for startup businesses (seeking as little as R1 million in startup funding) and more complex local and international projects and established companies (seeking more than R1 billion in investor funding). 

2. Since JTB Consulting’s establishment, we have assisted many new and existing companies in writing expert Professional Business Plans that attain results. Our focus is on providing customer-specific solutions. 

We do not offer an “off-the-shelf” service as we firmly believe that it is vital to walk side-by-side with a client throughout the Business Plan Writing process. We believe in personal contact and genuinely establishing a long-term business relationship with you. 

3. As an additional value-added service, we can provide our Clients with a Business Plan Pitch Deck designed according to international best practices. A Pitch Deck is a brief presentation (created using PowerPoint) and is used to provide your audience with a professional overview of your Business Plan. 

You will typically use your Pitch Deck during face-to-face or online meetings with potential investors, customers, partners, and other stakeholders. At an additional fee, the Pitch Deck can be designed after the Business Plan has been completed. 

4. We are more than willing to provide our Clients with Examples of our Quality Work. At the Client’s request, we can give a few examples of past Business Plans we have completed for both Local and International Clients. 

This transparency on our part should greatly assist Prospective Clients in evaluating the Quality of JTB Consulting’s work for themselves. 

5. We have achieved a high level of customer satisfaction and exceptional success rate not only because of the quality of our service delivery and documents we produce but also due to our hands-on approach to every Client. 

We are a proud, honest, and open-minded company that delivers professional service. Our highly experienced team is committed to offering exceptional and professional service to all our clients. 

6. Clients can rest assured that our Professional Business Plans comply with the extremely stringent criteria of both local and international investors, i.e., Angel Investors, Venture Capitalists, Commercial Banks, Small Business Finance Houses, and Government Funding Institutions. 

Our Business Plans are Bank- and Investor compatible and serve as an excellent model and management tool as our clients develop and grow their businesses. 

7. We do not sell products. We sell a unique and bespoke Consulting Service that will bring value to your business venture/idea. Most people underestimate the time it takes to write a new, comprehensive, and customised business plan. We, therefore, do not offer discounts. 

Beware of the individual/company that consistently use discounts and “being the cheapest service provider” as their claim to fame and marketing message. 

Buying a Service is different from purchasing a Product. The age-old saying of “if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys” has never been more relevant. 

Writing a business plan in a consultative approach and truly partnering with a client to reach a mutual goal takes time, extensive experience and know-how. And this comes at a cost and time. 

8. We have experience in dealing with all types and sizes of companies; small companies, international companies, government institutions, blue-chip listed organisations, and many more. 

9. We have experience across all industries. Our team of Business Plan Consultants has extensive experience working in HR, General Management, Sales and Marketing, Operations, and Finances. Further expertise is in the areas of Business Analysis, Strategic Management, Entrepreneurship, and Business Valuations. Our team boasts a vast knowledge of local and global markets and has successfully assisted customers across South Africa and abroad in the field of Business Plan Consultation. 

Our customers operate across a broad spectrum of industries, including but not limited to FinTech, Banking, Mining, Insurance, Mobile Applications, E-Commerce, ICT, Logistics, Public Enterprises, AI, Cyber, Hospitality, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Construction, Services, Retail, Tourism, and Education. 

10. Our Founder holds an MBA and Doctorate in Entrepreneurship, International Business Management, and General Management. He is also a Certified Financial Modelling and Business Valuation Analyst and a Certified Financial Planning and Wealth Management Specialist.

11. We are focused on writing Professional Business Plans and providing related business consulting services. We are not a “Jack of All Trades” type of company. We are industry-leading Business Plan Writers. Beware of companies that provide business planning as one of their services. 

Why would you partner with an individual/company that offers business plan writing as one of their services, along with services that have no relevance to entrepreneurship/business planning? Partnering with a Specialist is better than partnering with a Generalist. Jack of all Trades, Master of None – is that what you as a client want? 

12. We are the undisputed Leading Business Plan Service in South Africa. Unfortunately, most ‘so to speak’ Business Plan Companies in South Africa make this claim. To claim to be a Leader and Specialist in a specific discipline/service/field is not merely including such a statement on your website and marketing material. 

No! Research has shown that to call yourself a Specialist, you need at least 10,000 hours of experience in such a discipline/service/field. 

To be a Leader, you need to offer True Value, have a Tangible Value Proposition, Know Your Market Inside-Out, Lead the Market through Consistent Quality and Excellent Service Delivery and Have a Substantial New Client Base obtained through referrals and Word-of-Mouth. 

So, ask yourself, “Do I want to work with a Leader and Specialist or rather a Follower and Generalist”? 

13. All our Website Copy is original and protected under copyright; we have taken more than ten years to develop our website, marketing copy, design, and layout. Unfortunately, we do come across scam artists and fraudsters who copy our website narrative ‘verbatim’ to pass it off as their own. 

14. Our Founder, Dr. Thommie Burger, is personally involved in all projects, and no Business Plan Consultant releases a completed project/document before he approves it. 

15. The Founder can personally answer any questions, whether via email or telephone. You are welcome to arrange a free consultation by phone or Video with our Founder, where we can discuss your personal needs to ensure we put your mind totally at ease. There are no commitment fees. 

16. JTB Consulting CC is a registered company in South Africa with registration number 2008/120088/23. 

17. JTB Consulting CC has a legitimate corporate bank account. 

18. Professional recommendations and client testimonials received via LinkedIn and our website are transparent, with contact details of these past clients available on LinkedIn. 

Partnering with a Business Plan Consultant who has recent (up-to-date) client testimonials is better than partnering with a Business Plan Writer who has none or very few testimonials. 

You have all the right in the world to contact these past clients as part of your due diligence. Unfortunately, once again, false testimonials are used by individuals/companies to sell their services. Do your homework, and remember: the transparency of the individual/company is vital. 

Please beware of the individual/company that is unwilling to provide you with testimonials from previous clients they worked with (to support their claims of excellent service).

24. We can take your ‘idea’ and conceptualise it into a fully developed business – even if you are unsure how or where to start. 

25. We ensure total confidentiality, discretion, loyalty, and professional service throughout your Project’s management. JTB Consulting has an already drafted Non-Disclosure Agreement that we can send to our Clients, which both parties can sign, thereby protecting the interests of both parties. 

26. Nothing is more important to us than the complete satisfaction of our clients. The quality of our service delivery, genuinely understanding our clients’ unique requirements and over-delivering on our promises sets us apart from our competitors. 

But don’t take our word for it. Please view the range of Client Testimonials we’ve received from past clients: 98% of our clients would recommend our company.

28. Bankable Business Plans. We ensure that your Business Plan ticks all the right boxes and matches the standards suggested by funding institutions. All our Business Plans are customised and written according to the unique requirements of Local and International banks and investors. 

29. Comprehensive (Desktop/Secondary) Market Research. Depending on your specific needs, we conduct extensive (desktop/secondary) market research on behalf of our clients. A detailed market- and industry analysis reveals valuable information and facts on the market and competitors, clients, risks, opportunities, and the overall attractiveness of the business venture. 

Our dedicated Market Research Team supports our Business Plan Writers with invaluable market insights, strategic advice, and recommendations on your business venture. 

30. An independent survey conducted on behalf of JTB Consulting revealed that the Business Plans we compiled for our clients (which these clients submitted to banks and investors) had an immaculate funding approval rate of 71% (2010), 68% (2011), 70% (2012), 72% (2013), 73% (2014), 70% (2015), 75% (2016), 77% (2017), 79% (2018), 79% (2019), 76% (2020), 80% (2021), 78% (2022) and 81% (2023). 

Our average % funding approval rate of 80% is compared to an estimated industry average in South Africa of less than 10%.

The survey focused on startup and existing companies operating in South Africa and abroad who applied for funding between January 2010 and December 2023.
