​

Recognise – Regroup – Refocus

• When you started your business…

• When you bought your business…

• When you gravitated into your business…

​

Your business got to where it is today, for the most part, because you worked at it.​

​

Imagine your business is, or becomes, black-owned as defined in the BEE codes. You go for that big tender, but you still don’t win it, despite your favourable empowerment credentials. Your big non-compliant competitor wins it instead.

​

In the disappointment which follows you assume corruption. It is our default position in so many industries. Rampant corruption is the one segment of our daily lives which knows no colour. It is the one real equal opportunity activity in South Africa.​

​

Are you asking about business valuation or business pricing?

​

Price is not always value. Sometimes it will be. They are usually different numbers. The degree of difference will change with circumstances. Sometimes the degree of difference will be small. Often it is very large.

Your refreshing perspectives on topical issues combined with your clear, comical and most entertaining account of personal experiences ensure that I make the time to read your newsletter in the midst of my everyday hectic “fight for survival” as a typical SMME.

Thank you, once again… I’m really benefitting from your insights! 

Keep it up…and hope we meet soon!"
