Our Story
We began in 2004 as Excessive Business Consultancy and rebranded as Zulu Sharp & Associates in 2020. Over the years we've built the Business Ignition Kit, supported national SME initiatives, and helped thousands of entrepreneurs register, plan and scale. We’re a small, focused team — local to Gauteng and KwaZulu‑Natal — with the practical experience to turn ideas into sustainable businesses.
