Summary of internal and external risks:

Cash Flow
From October 2009, the partners have been funding the start up, the preperations, negotiations,the operations, sales and marketing. Investor,Funding or a loan will be crucial to fund the further start up operations and bring the remaining staff on board untill the company pick up to the acceptable level, estimated from April2011 until March 2012 and the company will be financially viable and enough cash is generated to be able to finance its own operations.

Market Identity
We need to position ourselves from scratch in the market.We also need to be positioned with Microsoft, as the licensing partner concept is new to the South African market. As a partner to a new LAR in the market, we need proper Marketing. Our partner does not have a strong position, and has a low profile with Microsoft South Africa because it is new in Licensing business, but strong in services business.

Creating Market Exposure

NLS Solutions’ strength is through its positioning in the market and profiling itself as a pure black female.
