The Challenge
Hazile Group Holdings wanted to scale their sustainability projects but needed a professional business plan to win investor support. Financial planning was complex—until they used Upmetrics.

“We knew what we wanted to achieve, just not how to explain it in business-speak. Trying to put our ideas into a professional, investor-ready business plan was exhausting. Financial terms like cash flow statements and financial projections felt like they belonged in a different universe. No matter how hard we tried, the numbers just wouldn’t line up. It was frustrating to see our vision stuck on paper, unable to move forward.” said Phindi Cebekhulu-Msomi.
They were about to give up when they came across Upmetrics. Its AI-powered tools promise to make business planning a lot simpler. The team decided to give it a try, hoping it would help them get their plans in order.
