As the saying goes “ you have to have a dream to make a dream come true”.
And while this saying is totally true, its sad that many dreams perish before seeing the light of day.
Especially dreams relating to business and business ventures.
Statistics show that about 90% of start-ups fail – (70% in the first 2 years) and one of the primary causes is a lack of capital or funding, inadequate management team – and the absence of effective financial planning.
Enter Goalfix – preventing failure by providing a business plan, supported by effective financial planning, is what we do!
Whilst dreams may be the essence of business creation – reality and pragmatism are essential to keep the dream alive.
One of our benchmark convictions is- “unquantified strategy is just wishful thinking”!
And the most effective way of putting flesh on the skeleton, is to focus, analyse and quantify all the key elements of a proposed venture.
It is not always an easy task – but an essential one!
Understanding the business case – not superficially – but comprehensively is the first step.
Sometimes, the enterprise or planned business activity is relatively common, with existing examples of the business model. On other occasions, it may require extensive discussion, investigation and research.
The point being – it’s the genesis of effective planning.
Goalfix is blessed with decades of real, live business experience across a variety of industries. So, assimilation and comprehension of business activities is a process very familiar to us.
Furthermore, we have specialized in building predictive financial models and presenting financial modelling training courses locally and internationally for 3 decades.

It is interesting to note that in more recent times, various well respected international professional organisations have seen fit to comment on and promote the direction that financial management is taking.
“The focus of the finance function has clearly shifted from historical transaction recording and reporting towards forward-thinking planning and forecasting, modelling scenarios, future cash flow management and alternative funding options.”
Ernst and Young
It is rewarding to note that leading finance professionals are today promoting the benefits of financial modelling.
