This consultancy is a result of observing many failures of new retail businesses, particularly supermarkets,
at close quaters. The main reason for failure is insufficient knowledge and experience to manage supermarkets
in the R500,000 to R2,000,000 per month category.  This size of operation does not allow the luxury of middle management. The operator of a business in this turnover segment has to have an all round knowledge
of the business and also have hands on ability, whilst maintaining control. Most of the operators become
overly busy and resort to their particular area of comfort.

Very few operators in this segment monitor basic ratios on a regular basis. Franchisors or Buying Groups
able to offer this practical assistance in this area, are in the minority and even when this might occur
are usually received with scepticism by the operator.

We are well placed, because of our independence, to proactively monitor risk and so protect the
franchisor's, Franchisee's and Financial Institution's interest.

We have combined experience of over 50 years in retail, not only in the Supermarkets but also in
Bottle Stores, D.I.Y Hardware and Stationary.
