You've got a plan. Getting it done is the hard part.

Most owners we meet know where they want to take the business. What gets in the way is the day-to-day: decisions waiting on you, a team pulling in different directions, systems held together with spreadsheets.

Most consultants fix one piece and leave you to sort out the rest.

We work on the plan, the people and the tools together, so the change sticks once we've left.

01. What We Do

What we actually do, in plain language.

Business Consulting

Fix what's slowing you down

We look at how your business really runs: the processes, the costs, how decisions get made. Then we fix what's holding profit back and help your team put the changes in place. You get a business that works better, not a thick report.

Team & Supplier Development

People who can run it without you

We coach your managers so they make good calls on their own. For corporates and funders, we use the same approach to run enterprise and supplier development programmes that leave small suppliers able to win and keep contracts.

Areeka Labs

Software that keeps it running

Areeka Labs is our technology arm. It turns our methods into simple online tools, so you can track progress, cut admin and see results as they happen.

See each one in detail under What We Do.

07. FAQ

YVR Consulting, answered.

What does YVR Consulting do?

We help established businesses grow their profit by fixing how the work gets done: processes, people and systems. We also design and run enterprise and supplier development programmes for corporates, funders and government, and build the software behind them through Areeka Labs.

Where is YVR based, and do you work outside South Africa?

We're based in South Africa and work across the country. Our methods and our platforms, B.E.T and Edvysor, are built to work in any market.

How is YVR different from other business consultants?

Most consultants stop at the advice. We stay to help you carry it out, train your team, track the numbers and give you the tools to keep going.

What is enterprise and supplier development?

Enterprise and supplier development (ESD) is when a company invests in small businesses and suppliers, often as part of its B-BBEE commitments. Done well, it builds suppliers who can deliver and grows the local economy. We design, run and measure these programmes so the money makes a lasting difference.
