Where does your business actually stand?

How it works

Each area is assessed through plain-language statements about what the business actually does, answered on a maturity scale from "not in place" to "consistent, documented and measured". There are no essays to write. Each area produces a score, the ten scores produce a total, and the report ranks the areas so that the weakest ones with the largest effect on survival come first.

What you receive

• A score for each of the ten areas and an overall score, with the areas ranked.
• A written report, in plain language, on the strongest and weakest practices in each area.
• What to fix first, with the reasoning, from the advisor responsible for that area.
• A print-ready document you can share with a partner, a mentor or a funder.

Built for South African businesses

The governance and compliance areas ask about the things that matter here: SARS and CIPC filings, POPIA, labour-law compliance that would stand up at the CCMA, insurance, and resilience against power and water disruption. The financial areas are anchored to cash flow rather than accounting theory.
