In early 2009, five professionals from different fields met as they usually did at the end of each day to discuss business opportunities under the recently instituted Government of National Unity. Filled with promise, hope, and excitement, they discussed a number of potential projects, before finally settling on one. They tasked one another to prepare individual reports from their areas of expertise to create a blueprint on the way forward and when these were collated, it was as if they had packaged the business in a box.
Pleased of what they had just accomplished in 48 hours, they sought to bring this service to the public; a service where the entrepreneur came in for consultation with an idea and a dream and left with not only a comprehensive roadmap on how to get their business compliant, operational, and profitable, but the support services from a qualified, experienced, and highly skilled team to handle all of these tasks on their behalf as well.
Unfortunately, as the economy roared back to life, four of the five went back to their formal employment, leaving one to carry the dream onward. Focusing on his key competencies of business planning and accounting, he established Wealth Consultants a few months thereafter, formalizing a service he had been offering informally before. Building on his client base through word of mouth referrals and return clients, he soon established himself as one of the foremost business planning consultants in the country, leading him to rebrand to The Business Planner in 2011.
Throughout this period, The Business Planner never lost sight of the objective to create a one-stop-shop where entrepreneurs can have all of their business’ start-up needs addressed by a team of experienced, competent, and qualified professionals in the shortest turnaround times possible; a team that has been assembled as we have successfully met the varying demands of a diverse client base which also includes foreign investors from Canada, China, Germany, India, Namibia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Singapore, South Africa, Sudan, Sweden, Tanzania, The United Kingdom, The United States, and Zambia amongst others.
In light of this, it soon became apparent that The Business Planner brand did not clearly articulate our capabilities to this growing client segment, leading to the formation of a specialized division that catered to the specific needs of foreign investors looking to set up in Zimbabwe. As many of our clients from abroad will attest, we were of great help in their endeavors and so it was only fitting that our objective when branding this new division was to communicate how we can be of great help to you too; your personal aide willing to go above and beyond to help you do business in Zimbabwe, easier.
