Business consultancy and Coaching

Africa Skills can offer you expert and sector specific consultancy on entrepreneurship and running your own business. Mr Rob Davies said in May 2013 that 5 out of 7 businesses fail in the first year and as a major player in job creation, everything must be done to prevent those failures.

More often than not, small business owners experience one or more of the following reasons leading to potential failure:

• Owning a business for the wrong reasons
• Poor money management
• Too focused on small segment of the market, or trying to be everything for everyone
• No business or marketing plan
• Lack of a well-defined brand
• Being everything in the business – from boss to bottle washer
• Uncontrolled growth
