To get this perfectly right, you need to create the 5 key Business Model Components:
Revenue
In a nutshell, this is your strategy to generate revenue. What you plan to sell, and what will convince people to buy. Value propositions, positioning, effective messaging, product/market fit.

Gross Margin
It is important for you to know how much of the pie you get to keep from each sale. Do you know your piece of the pie? For example, Shoprite and Spar know they run low gross margins. Their value game is one of low pricing, so they can’t mark up their products by an exorbitant amount and still play the value card.

Operating margin
For a business like PEP store, its slash and burn the expenses; no thrills, no frills. However, if you’re in the hospitality and luxury car business, it’s all about high style and lavish surroundings. Operators in both sectors operate and make decisions based on the knowledge of their operating model. Do you have a clear understanding of yours?

Working Capital
Indeed, ‘cash is king’. Do you understand your cash flow requirements? As you may or may not know, cash flow is significantly different from ‘revenue’. For example, if you operate a retail store, you experience first-hand the need for cash. You must spend cash to fill your store with products so they can be available when a customer walks in ready to buy. Thus, inventory consumes the most significant part of your working capital.

Financing (or Investment)
Number one roadblock I hear business owners complain about is lack of capital. Yes it sometimes does take money to make money. But not always. So to understand the difference is key. We understand the importance of this factor and therefore provide investment and financing solutions to suit your business requirements.
