- Aspiring entrepreneurs and start-ups who need guidance on establishing a business, developing a viable business model and understanding the fundamentals of running a successful business.
- Self-employed professionals who want to turn their skills or services into a structured, sustainable business.

What Does My SME's Business Coaching Include?
My SME’s business coaching focuses on the key areas that influence how a business operates, attracts customers and grows.
- Business strategy and planning
We help you assess your current position, clarify your business vision, establish priorities and develop a practical strategy aligned with your objectives. This provides a clearer direction for decision-making and helps you focus on the activities most relevant to your growth.
- Business model and product or service development
A sustainable business needs a clear understanding of what it offers, who it serves and how it generates revenue. We help assess your business model, pricing approach, products or services and value proposition to identify opportunities for improvement.
- Marketing, branding and sales
Attracting customers requires more than simply promoting a product or service. We help assess your brand positioning, marketing strategy, online presence, sales process and lead conversion approach to identify ways to reach the right audience and improve business development.
- Financial management and profitability
Understanding your numbers is essential for making sound business decisions. Business coaching can address pricing for profitability, financial management, accounting systems and the financial considerations involved in running and growing a business.
- Operational systems and business management
As a business grows, informal processes can become difficult to manage. We help identify opportunities to improve operational structures, systemise processes, strengthen management practices and establish greater order and control.
- Compliance, recruitment and business structure
Depending on your programme and requirements, coaching can also address business compliance, tax strategy, recruitment systems, human resources and the organisational structures needed to support growth.
Our objective is to help you understand how the different parts of your business work together, identify the areas that need improvement and develop a more practical approach to managing your business.

Case study: The Green Zone — From Business Coaching to Measurable Growth
The Green Zone, a landscaping business, began its journey with My SME through a 12-week business coaching programme. The engagement subsequently expanded to include business strategy, brand repositioning, website development, Google Ads and systems to support growth.
My SME’s published case study reports the following campaign results:
- R1,054,241.62 in revenue generated
- 144 leads generated
- 38 leads converted into customers
- R30,990 in Google Ads spend
- 26.39% reported sales conversion rate
- 3,000%+ reported return on ad spend
These results relate to the combined business development and marketing engagement, including the Google Ads campaign, rather than business coaching alone. They demonstrate how coaching can form part of a broader growth strategy when supported by appropriate implementation and marketing activities.
The case study provides a practical example of how business coaching can help establish a foundation for further business development.
How Our Business Coaching Process Works
- Understand Your Business
We begin by learning about your business, its current position, challenges, objectives and longer-term vision. This helps establish what you want to achieve and where support is needed.
- Assess Your Current Position
We examine relevant areas of your business, which may include your business model, pricing, marketing, sales, financial management, operational processes and management structure.
- Develop Your Business Strategy
Based on the assessment, we work with you to establish priorities and develop a practical strategy suited to your business stage and objectives.
- Work Through the Coaching Programme
Your dedicated business coaching sessions cover relevant topics such as business strategy, pricing, sales, branding, marketing, product or service delivery, management systems and business compliance.
- Identify and Implement Improvements
Coaching focuses on translating ideas into practical action. Depending on your needs, this may involve refining your business model, improving your sales process, strengthening operational systems or identifying additional business development requirements.
- Review Progress and Refine Your Approach
As you work through your business priorities, you can assess progress, address challenges and refine your approach. The aim is to develop stronger business management practices and a clearer path towards your objectives.
My SME’s published coaching programmes include a structured 12-week format, with individual coaching sessions and supporting learning resources. The exact programme and scope will depend on the package selected.
