ABOUT US
South Africa is bursting with creativity, yet far too many bright ideas stall before they ever reach the market. We built PlanRun.fun to close that gap.
Our founding team blends decades of corporate strategy, township mentorship and startup‑ecosystem know‑how. After coaching more than 6 000 entrepreneurs in Gauteng, the Western Cape and KZN, we saw a pattern: people learn fastest when theory meets local case studies, peer accountability and hands‑on experimentation. That insight became our platform’s backbone.
Every lesson is produced in partnership with regional experts—bankers who understand SME funding in SA, tax pros who know SARS inside‑out, e‑commerce operators who ship to Khayelitsha and Kommetjie alike. We translate dense regulations into step‑by‑step checklists, and pair them with interactive simulations so you master the material, not just memorise it.
Finally, we believe business education must be inclusive. Our freemium model keeps core modules free forever, and our sponsorship programme channels corporate CSI budgets into bursaries for under‑resourced founders. When the nation’s entrepreneurs win, South Africa wins.
Navigating SA Regulations
South African entrepreneurs face a maze of red tape—CIPC registration, B‑BBEE compliance, sector‑specific licences and more. Our in‑depth guide breaks the process into manageable steps, complete with templated documents, walkthrough videos and peer checklists.
We keep the content evergreen by partnering with legal firms in Johannesburg and the Western Cape, updating every chapter within 48 hours of a regulation change. That means zero nasty surprises when an inspector knocks or a grant application asks for a certificate you’ve never heard of.
Digital‑First Growth in Emerging Markets
E‑commerce in South Africa is projected to grow at 12 % CAGR through 2028, yet last‑mile logistics and payment options remain stumbling blocks for many SMEs. This deep‑dive explores omni‑channel tactics that blend mobile storefronts, WhatsApp catalogues and on‑the‑ground pick‑up points.
Real‑world case studies—from township fashion brands to agri‑tech platforms—demonstrate how founders are leapfrogging infrastructure gaps. By the end, you’ll have a three‑month action plan for capturing online demand without overspending on tech.
