Cape Town Business Plan Options

There are mainly two types of business plans that are written in Cape Town: capital raising business plans and management or managerial business plans.

Raise Capital with a Business Plan

Most business plans are written with eye towards raising money for their venture. In a business plan that is written for investment capital, the structure of the business plans and therefore the most important point of the document will be the value-added benefit. Information on the products, services and the market will play central roles in the development of the plan, as well as various payout or exit strategies for the investors. Most business plans will focus on either selling equity or debt to investors.

• Equity : In an equity business plan the company seeking funding will sell an ownership stake. If the company is a corporation, they will sell shares or common stock or a variation of them. If the company is a LLC or a Limited Company (which is popular worldwide) interest or units in the company would be offered. Both a form of ownership, just with a different name for each entity. In additional, there are other sweeteners one can add into any business plan offering, including warrants or preferred shares or preferred units or convertible debt.
• Debt : in a debt offering business plan the company will be issuing some type of bond or a note to investors. A bond or note differ only in terms of the length of each security, which bonds being considered a longer maturity date than a note. There are also convertible debt securities that would convert the notes/bonds to equity at a certain fixed point in time. The business plan for bonds would detail the terms, such as the maturity date, interest rate and other vital information.

Managerial Guidance Business Plan

• No Capital Raising : In a managerial or a management business plan, the focus is not on raising money but what strategy a company should employ. While most companies that write business plans do so to raise capital, there are some that simply want to get a second opinion or an outside view of their business. They ask us to write them a business plan for growth opportunities, not to raise money. Said another way, the management of the company wants to see our view and take on their business and what we would do to expand their company.
• Recommendations : A business plan used to simply strategically plan one’s next move is referred to as managerial guidance business plan document. No capital is being raised initially, although sometimes we may conclude that capital should be raised for the company to penetrate or open new markets or opportunities. In the course of research, we may conclude that, in fact, the company should conduct an offering and raise money. We will recommend the amount to raise based on the company’s expansion needs and the company valuation.

Our firm offers various levels of business plan writing service and consulting, including: Level I Start-up Business Plan »

• Prospectus.com’s team consists of industry expert business plan writers. Our Level I Start-up Business Plan can be used for companies raising initial seed funding and getting off the ground. The dollar amount being raised is not of paramount importance.

More faq's & info on our business plans, what is a business plan.

A business plan is a written document that describes and summarises the operational and financial objectives of a business and outlines how it is going to practically achieving its goals.

What are the Main Advantages of a Business Plan?

Firstly, you have a clear plan to follow: Your business plan is your company’s ‘roadmap’ to start with. It will change over the first few months in business, but it gives you focus and direction – which is very important when you start a business.

Secondly, being compliant: Certain governmental regulating bodies or institutions, require your company to have a specific industry related business plan to apply. For example PSIRA.

Lastly, it will enable you to apply for outside financing / funding: Investors want to know exactly what your business will do, who your target market is and if your business is profitable before they will consider your application for business finance or funding.

Do I really need a Business Plan?

Yes, you do. Even if you think you have a clear idea of how you are going to start and develop your business, setting it out on paper forces you to be more objective and attentive to details. It is human nature to tend to be optimistic about future schemes. However, the process of drafting the plans will help you assess whether you have actually taken all relevant factors into account, or your plan’s success depends on outcomes you have no way of assuring.

Isn't a Business Plan necessary if I'm looking for financing?

No. It is a mistake to think that business plans are just something to give an investor looking for assurances that your business has a good chance of turning a profit. The benefits of a business plan are primarily for you, the owner. At the onset of your venture, a comprehensive plan will help you get a realistic picture of your capabilities and viable strategies. As your business continues to grow, your plan will help you assess whether you are meeting your goals, or a change of direction is needed.

Will I get funding?

We do not guarantee funding. We provide you with a business plan document which is one of the documents required to apply for funding.

What is the difference between a Business Plan and a Company Profile?

Your objective with a Company Profile is to provide an overview of your organization. A biography emphasizes professional and personal achievements. A Business Plan contains marketing, sales, and operations strategies.

Tourist arrivals from South Africa up 38% on visa free plan

Kenya is among the top destinations pitching at the three-day wta africa expo in cape town..

• The number of tourists grew to 37,370 compared to 27,103 in 2022.
• Africa has a population of about 1.2 billion people

The easing of visa restrictions and enhanced travel trade partnerships are some of the strategies that have seen visitor arrivals from South Africa to Kenya record a 38 per cent growth.

The Southern African market by the end of last year registered 37,370 arrivals into the country compared to 27,103 in 2022, translating to a 38 per cent increase.

Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) together with 16 Kenya tourism travel trade are currently pitching camp at South Africa’s World Travel Mart (WTM) in Cape Town city to woo travellers into the destination.

KTB CEO June Chepkemei says that the recent visitor arrivals paint an encouraging picture of the potential to further grow the market through strategic partnerships and initiatives that would cement ties and provide the impetus for more travel between the two countries.

"As we take part in the 2024 WTM Africa, we are excited by the tremendous growth witnessed from South Africa and the larger African market that has continued to be an important visitor source for Kenya," said Chepkemei.

This, she noted, is buoyed by a raft of recent developments including the waiving of entry fees for passport holders from South Africa and other African Nations aimed at boosting tourism and attracting business into Kenya.

“As part of our strategy to grow more numbers in Kenya, we are well aware that the African continent is a low-hanging fruit to focus on as we nurture our footprint in a highly competitive global tourism landscape.

"Africa has a population of about 1.2 billion people, if we harness this potential well, we this continent can fully sustain our tourism sector," she added.

Kenya is among the top destinations pitching at the three-day WTA Africa expo that is taking place at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), Cape Town from April 10 to 12.

At least 7,500 participants drawn from various markets globally and across the continent are expected to participate in the annual event It is one of the six shows under the WTM portfolio aimed at bringing the benefits and opportunities of the global industry expertise to travel professionals in Africa.

According to the KTB CEO, air connectivity and the diversity of the destination offering has made Kenya a preferred destination for the South African traveller.

She lauded national carrier, Kenya Airways, for enabling seamless air connectivity between Nairobi and South Africa, with the national carrier operating direct flights to Johannesburg and Cape Town.

“We are keen to working with more partners so as to firmly stamp our presence in the region and showcase all the facets that make Magical Kenya a destination of choice," added the CEO.

After a string of successful marketing initiatives including roadshows in the West African markets of Nigeria and Ghana as well as a charm offensive targeting East Africa travellers during the recent WRC Safari Rally, KTB has its sights set on marketing Kenya to fully tap into all facets of the African travel market.

In the latest tourism performance report, Kenya attracted 1.96 million arrivals in 2023 with a majority or 41 per cent share coming from the African market.

KTB aims to grow Kenya's market share in Africa to six per cent, buoyed by the potential presented by key events like WTM Africa to make further inroads.

When and where the solar eclipse will be crossing the U.S.

A total solar eclipse will grace the skies over North America on Monday, one of the most hotly anticipated sky-watching events in recent years.

Weather permitting , millions of people in Mexico, 15 U.S. states and eastern Canada will have the chance to see the moon slip between Earth and sun, temporarily blocking the sun’s light .

The total solar eclipse will be visible along a “path of totality” that measures more than 100 miles wide and extends across the continent. Along that path, the moon will fully obscure the sun, causing afternoon skies to darken for a few minutes.

Follow live updates on the solar eclipse

In all other parts of the continental U.S., a partial solar eclipse will be visible, with the moon appearing to take a bite out of the sun. Exactly how big a bite depends on the location.

The first spot in North America that will experience totality on Monday is on Mexico’s Pacific coast at around 11:07 a.m. PT, according to NASA .

After moving northeast across Mexico, the eclipse’s path travels through Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Slivers of Michigan and Tennessee will also be able to witness totality if conditions are clear.

In Canada, the eclipse will be visible in parts of southern Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton, at the eastern end of Nova Scotia.

The timing of the eclipse and the duration of totality varies by location. Most places will experience around 2 minutes of darkness, but the longest periods of totality are typically in the center of the eclipse’s path.

This year, the longest stretch of totality will last 4 minutes and 28 seconds in an area northwest of Torreón, Mexico.

Below is a list of timings for some U.S. cities along the path of totality, according to NASA .

• Dallas: Partial eclipse begins at 12:23 p.m. CT and totality at 1:40 p.m. CT.
• Idabel, Oklahoma: Partial eclipse begins at 12:28 p.m. CT and totality at 1:45 p.m. CT.
• Little Rock, Arkansas: Partial eclipse begins at 12:33 p.m. CT and totality at 1:51 p.m. CT.
• Poplar Bluff, Missouri: Partial eclipse begins at 12:39 p.m. CT and totality at 1:56 p.m. CT.
• Paducah, Kentucky: Partial eclipse begins at 12:42 p.m. CT and totality at 2:00 p.m. CT.
• Carbondale, Illinois: Partial eclipse begins at 12:42 p.m. CT and totality at 1:59 p.m. CT.
• Evansville, Indiana: Partial eclipse begins at 12:45 p.m. CT and totality at 2:02 p.m. CT.
• Cleveland: Partial eclipse begins at 1:59 p.m. ET and totality at 3:13 p.m.
• Erie, Pennsylvania: Partial eclipse begins at 2:02 p.m. ET and totality at 3:16 p.m. ET.
• Buffalo, New York: Partial eclipse begins at 2:04 p.m. ET and totality at 3:18 p.m.
• Burlington, Vermont: Partial eclipse begins at 2:14 p.m. ET and totality at 3:26 p.m. ET.
• Lancaster, New Hampshire: Partial eclipse begins at 2:16 p.m. ET and totality at 3:27 p.m.
• Caribou, Maine: Partial eclipse begins at 2:22 p.m. ET and totality at 3:32 p.m. ET.

Other resources can also help you figure out when the various phases of the eclipse will be visible where you live, including NationalEclipse.com and TimeandDate.com .

If you plan to watch the celestial event, remember that it’s never safe to look directly at the sun, including through binoculars, telescopes or camera lenses. Special eclipse glasses are required to safely view solar eclipses and prevent permanent eye damage.
