Professional Business Planning makes solid sense in the mentoring process and is the cornerstone of our sustainability program.
Our team have successfully used this process over the last three years (including these software tools) to consult to social businesses turning over more than $600,000 PA.
We have proof of concept having implemented an award winning 3 year pilot telcentre program in Manila, Philippines. This centre was integrated into a much larger and very successful Philippines micro-finance program called CTC.
More recently we have been working with XayanIT.com, a Bangladesh based, non profit ICT outsourcing firm. XayanIT have won two awards so far and are on track to have their largest turnover year yet with many jobs being created for local youth
Our consulting service group concentrates its development efforts on sustainability methods and business plan skilling of managers at ICT projects. Our team are all experts in the field of ICT and telecentre management.
A core part of our curriculum is the Business Planning element. This is a comprehensive 3 - 6 month program which walks the managers of ICT projects through a comprehensive real world business plan with one topic and outcome developed each week.

Why We Use Business Plan Pro Social Enterprise Edition
We use the Business Plan Pro Social Enterprise Edition simply because it works and is easy to use for social enterprise managers and social entrepreneurs.
Our process includes walking the project managers through every step of creating their business plan. The plan may be about the final document for a funder, donor or sponsor, but for the ICT project it is about the process of gathering ideas and developing and growing the social business. We use this tool because it creates a great looking document for funders, while helping projects better understand and grow their ventures as well as helping ensure they are still viable and growing in the years to come.
