Are there up-to-date Management Accounts available?

The business has been operating for 6 months to June 2026, with projections added on in the first 6-month period at a very low level to provide an annual worst-case scenario,
Some of the later lower results have been as a result of a lack of involvement in the business by the seller due to a physical move & entering a new Agricultural lifestyle-venture. An attentive owner will easily get back to the past mid-achievements.
Only MA's are available with the Bank statements indicating Income received from course purchases.
Expenses shown are at a higher cost than present; to facilitate a new owners future growth.
Luckily, the initial/past developmental costs were expended by the owner/developer ALL for the purchaser's benefit.
The Report turnover of R425k with a NP of R290k, is based on the worst-case scenario, including having higher expenses (than present) to provide for growth, a much higher turnover & NP, as was earned when the seller was fully involved.

How could the profitability of the business be improved?

Merely buy a database or copy the Professional's email addresses off the registry websites & email-shot them with links to the website for CPD courses.
Utilize Linkedin & Facebook groups more.
