WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Investor Support
Kai-zen and the Key Fund have several clients in common, supported by Kai-zen in the earlier phases of business development, or in preparing for new growth. Kai-zen works with organisations in a very holistic way; it works to their strengths and brings in learning or connections for skills gaps, all the while building client confidence and knowledge. It’s always a pleasure when our paths cross – Natasha Jolob of Kai-zen shares her expertise with diligence and efficiency as well as operating across shared values.
Well-Being Meditation Sessions
I have been lucky enough to attend a few of Natasha’s sessions – it's hard to put into words exactly how much good they have done for me. I have felt stronger and more focussed, deeply relaxed and refreshed and somehow cared for. The sessions are easy to access, and although I would like longer, the mini re-treats have been easier to fit into a busy work day. I can’t recommend highly enough.
Project Delivery Partner, Systems Resilience Consortium Project, Wolverhampton
I have admired your support for this project and that you were not afraid to immerse yourself in
the reality of it all.
Business Planning For Investment
Without our successful social investment application with the Key Fund, we would not have been able to move forward with our planned projects for 2020. The investment provided the security to continue with our growth plan and it is incredible the difference this has made, we have in a short period of time, created lasting relationships with major organisations and have had the ability to promote our social enterprise and the work we do in the community with this investment. We are now seeing the positive impacts of this work and the future of our enterprise now seems much more certain than before our social investment was secured.
Business Planning For Investment
Recommended by a social investor, I commissioned Natasha Jolob to help me to write a business plan and secure funding so that I could make my vision a reality.
Her ability, passion, industry knowledge, national contacts and professional insight resulted in us, within a few short months, securing an £113,000 investment. Natasha helped us to have a clear understanding of how to implement our vision through a robust and clear business plan combined with a financial framework that enables us to go from strength to strength today!
If you are reading this and wondering if to secure her services to make your vision a reality stop reading this recommendation right now! Pick up the phone and make it happen. Natasha is a dynamic committed person who you can trust and gets the job done, an absolute pleasure to work with and if you are lucky, a loyal
supporter and friend.
