What if the thing you're avoiding is the thing that gets you funded?

Most business owners fear . It's expensive. It's admin. It's that brown envelope you put "somewhere safe" for "when its needed". Familiar?

So, we quietly do the maths: what are the chances anyone actually checks?

Here's what that sum leaves out: the funder who said "not yet", the tender you couldn't submit, the corporate supplier list you never made it onto. Too many variables, and most of them cost more than getting it right!

Compliance isn't the unnecessary evil on your business. It's the ticket in. 🎟️ Compliance is the hidden cost on opportunities.

On Wed 11 Nov I'm running a hands-on masterclass where you'll work through your own business workbook and turn compliance from the thing you fear into something funders want to see.

📅 Wed 11 Nov | 09:00–12:00 | MS Teams
🎟️ R550 intro price, or R1,450 for all 3 modules
👉 Book via the Get tickets button at the top of our Page, or WhatsApp me for the link: https://wa.me/27720282046

Quick lunch-break question: if a funder or corporate client asked for your compliance documents today, how long would it take you to find them? ⏱️

If the honest answer is "give me a few days…", you're not alone, and it's exactly what we'll fix together.

On Wednesday, 11 November (09:00–12:00, Microsoft Teams), I'm running a live, hands-on masterclass: Governance and Compliance: Building Foundations to Unlock Funding and Scale.

✅ The compliance essentials (SARS, CIPC, COID and UIF) and what non-compliance really costs you
✅ How to set up your business for ESD and other funding
✅ The core systems you need to grow without things falling apart
✅ Your own business workbook to keep, plus a certificate of attendance

It's a working session, not a lecture! 💪

🎟️ Introductory price: R550 (normal price R1,500), or R1,450 for all 3 modules (normal price R3 960)

👥 Groups of 10+ save additional 10%, ideal for ESD and supplier development programmes

⏳ Seats are limited

Your business doesn't need another 3-hour lecture.
It needs systems that unlock funding and help you scale. 🚀

At the Smart Procurement World Indaba, I spoke with so many business owners who are ready for ESD ( support), and corporate contracts – but need their foundations sorted first. And with the economy as tough as it is right now, I wanted to make this as accessible as possible. 💙

So for this first series, I'm offering an introductory price of R550 per session (future 3-hour sessions will be R1,500).

This is a working session, not a lecture! 💪

You'll get your own business workbook – the heart of this masterclass – and we'll work through it together, if you’re serious about scaling and growing, to:

✅ Unpack what's mandatory for your business

✅ Look at the real (hidden) costs of non-compliance

✅ Map your core business cycles to optimise operations

✅ Set practical next steps for funding and growth

🎓 Plus, you'll receive a certificate of attendance

🎟️ Introductory price: R550 – or R1,450 for the full 3-module series

Yet another awesome reason to be a member of the Pietermaritzburg & Midlands Chamber of Business!

GERMAN BUSINESS EXPERTISE TO TACKLE OPERATIONAL CHALLENGES
Members of the Pietermaritzburg and Midlands Chamber of Business are offered access to the German-funded Senior Expert Service (SES) that makes availabe experienced professionals to help businesses address operational challenges while building long-term skills within their organisations.

The programme covers a wide range of fields, including manufacturing, engineering, quality management, food processing, marketing, exports, renewable energy, agriculture, hospitality, financial management and staff development. Interested members are required to complete an application outlining their business, current challenges and the expertise required. SES then identifies a suitably qualified German expert whose professional background matches those needs. Once approved, the assignment and travel arrangements are coordinated, with the expert typically working on-site for three to four weeks.

It is not uncommon for a taxpayer to receive an ITA34 shortly after electronically submitting an ITR12, indicating that no verification or audit is required.

However, a few days later, SARS may issue a separate notice requesting supporting documentation.

According to SARS, this occurs because, after the initial ITA34 has been issued, its systems may identify an anomaly through its automated risk-assessment algorithms. As a result, the taxpayer is subsequently selected for verification and is requested to submit supporting documents.

For this reason, taxpayers and tax practitioners should always remain alert for any further correspondence from SARS after the initial ITA34 has been issued, as the taxpayer's status may change from "No Verification Required" to "Verification Required'.
