Struggling with backend chaos and burnout?

We build smart AI systems and clear blueprints to help SME's and entrepreneurssimplify operations, scale, and grow sustainably.

Your Business Reality

Your brilliance is buried in busywork

Behind the scenes, your business is running on duct tape and determination and you can feel it.

Every day looks like this:

• Clients are onboarded manually (and every process is a little different).

• Invoices go missing, along with that post-it you swore you left on your desk.

• Leads slip through the cracks, or you can't remember what you promised to whom.

"Am I really building something that can grow… or am I just keeping it alive?"

Meet the Founders:

Cobus & Anandie

We didn't set out to become systems architects. We set out to build something meaningful and nearly burned out trying.

Like many founders, we started with heart and hustle. But behind the vision was a mess of files, scattered tools, and sleepless nights.

Our Breakthrough:

Over time, we built what we couldn't find anywhere else:

A calm, clear, human-first way to install business systems that actually support growth.

We call it the B.E.S.T. Method:

Boundaries

Clarity in communication, roles, and flow

Systems

Tools that talk to each other and scale with ease

Efficiency

Streamlined, simple operations that save time

Trust

Documentation and processes that build confidence

It's how we went from overwhelmed to operationally aligned.

Now, we use it to help founders like you do the same.

Why we do this work - Rooted to Grow mission

Why We Do This Work

We believe

Structure creates space; for rest, creativity, and vision

Faith and function can co-exist in business

Rooted to Grow is our way of helping entrepreneurs flourish from the ground up.

We don't just install systems.

We help you build the roots that let your brilliance bloom.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can I see results from your services?

Most clients see immediate improvements in their daily operations within the first 2-3 weeks. Significant time savings and efficiency gains typically occur within 30-60 days of implementation.

Do you work with businesses outside of South Africa?

While we specialize in the South African market, we do work with international clients, especially those with operations in Africa or similar emerging markets.

What size businesses do you typically work with?

We work with small to medium businesses, typically with 1-50 employees and annual revenue between R500K - R50M. Our solutions are designed to be affordable and scalable.

How much do your services cost?

Our services range from R750 for templates to R4,500+ for automation and consulting packages. Once we have had a clarity call, we can customise a proposal to your unique needs and goal. We offer flexible payment plans and always provide a clear ROI projection before starting.

Do you offer ongoing support after implementation?

Yes! All our packages include follow-up support. We also offer monthly retainer options for ongoing optimization and new automation opportunities.

What if I'm not tech-savvy? Can I still benefit from automation?

Absolutely! We specialize in user-friendly solutions and provide training and hand-ove support. Many of our clients started with minimal tech experience.

How do I know which service is right for my business?

Start with our free intake form and clarity call. We'll assess your specific needs and recommend the best approach for your situation and budget.

Can you integrate with the tools I'm already using?

In most cases, yes. We work with popular South African business tools and can often integrate with existing systems rather than replacing them entirely. Based on the clarity call we would be able to assess and provide further feedback.

Do you provide refunds?

We don’t offer refunds. Once a proposal is accepted, we begin work based on your agreed needs and deliver according to that agreement. To keep everything aligned, we have regular check-in meetings to review progress and expectations. If your scope of work changes along the way, we can adjust the agreement accordingly.
