Our Services

I'm Ross Fyffe, and I am the Lead Associate of Ross Fyffe and Associates. We are based in Randburg, South Africa, and we are dedicated to providing a wide range of business support services, tools, products and information to new and established small and medium businesses. This web site gives you some ideas of what we have in mind.

We are passionate about the South African business scene. We believe that this is the most exciting and interesting place on the planet right now! And we believe that an open, and honest approach to business is the best for all. Call us naive if you wish - but we just call it plain normal business practice.

Scattered around Johannesburg, Gauteng and South Africa we have access to over 230 accredited and independent Executive Associates who may act as specialist business advisers and coaches. If you have a need, which we cannot meet, our first port of call are these highly experienced and approachable professionals. Through us you can call on our incredible worldwide network of over 4 500 active associates to assist you with your unique need.

We believe in a personal, hands-on, practical approach in assisting entrepreneurs and the SME. Despite this WEB face, we prefer to be there - with you, in the business providing practical advice that works. For that reason our associates will meet with you, personally - they assess your SME business and your need, and help you and your team face-to-face - providing business advice in a practical manner. Business advice suitable for your SME business.

Our vision is of a prosperous and invigorating South Africa which is achieved through providing opportunities for worthwhile employment. This can only be achieved through the entrepreneurial spirit - through inventive and ambitious business people striving to improve their own lot, and that of their heirs in an honest and an upbeat way. In so doing they will be providing opportunities for many others who seek employment, many of whom are themselves entrepreneurs in-training.

Which are you? An entrepreneur or business owner? An entrepreneur in training perhaps?

If you are comfortable with earning a living in fixed employment then these pages are probably not for you, and you may feel insulted. Please accept that this was not our intention. You have an important role to play in the team and without you the world would come to a standstill.

Please feel free to browse through this site. We will be adding to it on an ongoing basis. Ultimately our aim is to provide business owner advice that works. Business owner advice that really makes a difference to you in your business - after all, business owners are often on their own, and often must exchange ideas with other business owners - to learn from them.

Naturally, as this site is aimed at YOU the business owner, if you have any ideas for its improvement - and any comments good or bad, please feel free to contact me by email.
