BizTweak is a diagnostic platform that is aimed at assisting entrepreneurs structure their businesses, business ideas, and their thinking around running a sustainable business. The assessments helps entrepreneurs know what they don’t know, and also provides them with recommendations on how to address the gaps that have been outlined in the business health report. BizTweak is also a data collection platform which helps with the administration of enterprise development and entrepreneur development programs.

The data collection strategy that we employ is to focus on small businesses and microenterprises, as we see this as the sector that will unlock substantial value when it comes to creating jobs and providing bankable & innovative solutions for future consumption. In the SME and microenterprise sector there also exists a finance gap that is a result of a lack of data required to make the financing decision, through our platform we aim to provide that data so that finance and funding can flow into the sector.
