Customer reviews

See what our clients are saying about us

Gear for Growth has recently been a lifesaver for our family! With two kids and demanding jobs, finding the time to manage everything can feel impossible. To date, their team stepped in and helped us with so much - from organising support for our rental apartment to planning a last-minute holiday and even securing a Home Affairs booking for our son.

I have known Fungai for over 20 years. She has always been a bright shining star: diligent, conscientious and a warm and friendly soul. It was therefore a no- brainer for me to engage her firm, Gear for Growth.

As a multi-passionate mompreneur, I felt overwhelmed with all the juggling I was doing!

Fungai took time to understand my situation, anticipate my needs and help me to craft a plan to help me make real progress with each of my projects.

With their help, I’ve been able to reclaim valuable hours in my day—time that I can now dedicate to high-priority projects, self-care, and spending quality moments with my loved ones. “

As MD of Gift Bucks (Pty) Ltd I was searching for a company that could understand what I was looking for in terms of business growth assistance. After meeting with the team at Gear for Growth I saw that they immediately grasped what I needed, so I contracted them to handle aspects of our business growth that were not receiving attention.

GFG are very professional, first detailing a plan for me to agree to, and then reporting back regularly on progress. They have made a positive impact on growing our business - and on reducing my workload!
