“Before Pitch Gambit, I had been rejected twice by SEFA because my numbers weren’t detailed enough. Within 3 weeks, I had a professional financial model, a pitch deck, and a plan that finally made sense to investors. I secured R2.5M in funding and can confidently say this program was the turning point for my business.”

“I thought I just needed a business plan, but the Funding Readiness Checklist showed me exactly why I wasn’t getting traction. The Accelerator not only fixed my compliance gaps but also gave me the confidence to pitch to a VC panel. I didn’t just look ready — I WAS ready. That call changed everything.”

Most consultants gave me generic documents that funders ignored. Pitch Gambit gave me investor-ready documents tailored to agriculture and coached me on my pitch. I walked into IDC with confidence, and for the first time, I heard ‘we’re interested.’ If you’re serious about raising capital, don’t waste time anywhere else.”

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the services and billing.
Get answers to questions you may have on how we work (time, cost, guarantees, readiness)
1. How is this different from a standard business plan writing service?
Most business plan services deliver documents that look professional but aren’t aligned to what South African funders actually require. The Investor-Ready Capital Accelerator was built from the inside out, using the exact checklists, scorecards, and criteria banks, DFIs, and VCs use when assessing funding applications. On top of that, you don’t just get a business plan — you receive a 3-in-1 package: investor-ready business plan, financial model, and pitch deck, plus compliance guidance and pitch coaching. This isn’t paperwork — it’s a capital-raising system.
2. How long does the process take?
Our typical turnaround time is 14–21 working days from the moment we receive all required documents and business inputs. This is significantly faster than most providers (6–12 weeks). The timeline is structured in 3 phases:
Phase 1: Funding readiness check & data collection (2–3 days)
Phase 2: Research, modelling & drafting (7–10 days)
Phase 3: Review, revisions & investor-pitch prep (5–7 days)
If you need a rush job, we also offer an expedited service for urgent applications.
3. What industries do you work with?
We work across all industries, from manufacturing and tech startups to agriculture, retail, logistics, and healthcare. Because we base our work on sector-specific research and benchmarks, the outputs are tailored to your market context. We’ve built successful investor-ready packages for businesses as small as township SMEs to large-scale renewable energy projects.
4. What if my business isn’t fully ready for funding?
That’s exactly why the program includes a Funding Readiness Checklist. If we identify gaps (e.g., CIPC updates, tax clearance, B-BBEE certificate, market validation, or weak financials), we’ll guide you to fix them. In some cases, we connect you to trusted service partners to resolve compliance gaps. This way, you don’t waste time applying to investors while still “half-ready.”
5. What does my initial investment (cost) cover and are there any guarantees?
Your investment covers the full Investor-Ready Capital Accelerator package:
- Investor-aligned business plan
- Professional 5-year financial model
- Investor pitch deck (designed for presentations)
- Funding readiness checklist + compliance guidance
- Pitch coaching & investor Q&A prep session
While no consultant can ethically guarantee funding approval (since final decisions depend on investor appetite, risk profile, and your execution), we do guarantee that your documents and pitch will meet professional investor standards and significantly improve your chances of success.
