PROMOTION

We are going to employ the old, well tested business promotion strategy and that is our people. Investing in human resources is the best investment ever in every business.

Our people are essential to our success that is why we are committed to treating our employees fairly, upholding their rights and developing their careers.

Our aim is to create diverse workplaces and develop talent- while upholding the rights of our workforce and giving them simple ways to raise cancers. We prohibit all forms of child, farced or compulsory labour and well as sexual abuse at work.

We recognise and uphold the rights of our workforce to a safe workplace, freedom of association, collective representation, just compensation, job security and opportunities for development.

We work to attract and retain best people at every level. We undertake regular assessment of skills level and competence – aiming to support, develop and reward people with talent and potential.

The only challenge with that strategy is that not every employee is loyal. Big players in the industry will come and poach our staff that we would have invested a lot on.

COMPETETIVE ADVANTAGE

  • Own transport and excellent knowledge of the land transport system

FUNDING

As highlighted above, one of the Shareholders is a. foreign national and one of our biggest challenge is that local banks are very reluctant to give loans to foreign nationals hence bulk of the funds will come from the Shareholders from their savings

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

We believe in both short borrowing as well as short term lending. This will assist us to Micro manage our financial affairs without being affected by unknown future disasters be it natural or man-made. The only challenge is only one shareholder can borrow on behalf of the Organisation as the other Shareholder can’t sign for surety. Nonetheless, we have enough start-up capital from our savings. 

OPERATIONAL PLANS

We will be doing both bulk selling of fuel from our deport as well as transporting to various Clients across South Africa using our trucks.
