Match your situation to a service and a suggested package. If it is not a perfect fit, message me on Fiverr first — I will help you choose before you order.

Bank loan or funding application

You need a written plan and the numbers behind it

A lender or funder usually wants to see what the business does, how it will run, and whether the figures add up. That is a business plan with financial projections.

Suggested package Standard, from $120 — a 20-page plan, three-year projections and a 10-slide pitch deck. Choose Premium ($220) if you need a five-year model and competitor research. Basic ($60) is a shorter 10-page plan with a one-year financial summary.

Pitching investors

You need a deck you can present in a meeting

A pitch deck is the short slide version of your story. On this gig it comes with a written plan, not on its own. Basic is the plan only — choose Standard or Premium for a deck.

Suggested package Standard, from $120 — plan, three-year projections and a 10-slide deck. Choose Premium ($220) for a 15-slide deck, a five-year model and competitor research.

Messy spreadsheet or data stuck in PDFs

You need a file you can actually use

Data cleaning means I tidy your spreadsheet — or pull tables out of a PDF — so names, dates and numbers are consistent and ready to sort, filter or report from.

Suggested package Basic ($20) for up to 100 rows. Standard ($45) for up to 3,000 rows, or for PDF tables to Excel. Premium ($100) for up to 10,000 rows. Message me first if your file is larger or you are unsure.

Starting or entering a market

You need to know the market before you spend

Market research and competitor analysis give you a clear picture of size, trends and the other players. A SWOT then sets out strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, with practical recommendations.

Suggested package Standard ($75) — a 10-page report with market size, trends, eight competitors and a customer profile. Choose Premium ($150) if you also want a SWOT, risks and recommendations. Basic ($35) is a short snapshot of five competitors.

Plain language

What you get — and what the terms mean

You do not need to speak “consultant”. Here is what arrives in each service, and what the usual jargon actually refers to.

Business plans

What you get

A written plan a lender, funder or partner can follow: the offer, the market, how the operation will run, and the team. You also get financial projections. Standard and Premium add a pitch deck. Files are delivered in standard formats: Word and PDF for the plan, Excel for the figures, and PowerPoint or Google Slides for the deck.

Financial projections
A set of estimated figures for future revenue, costs, profit and cash flow, built from your prices, costs and assumptions. They let you and a reader see whether the idea can work on paper. They are not a promise of results.
Pitch deck
A short slide presentation — 10 slides on Standard, 15 on Premium — that tells the story of the business in a meeting, rather than asking someone to read the full plan first.
Business plan
The longer written document. Length depends on the package: about 10, 20 or 30 pages, covering the problem, the offer, customers, competitors, operations, marketing and the numbers.

Excel and data

What you get

A clean, organised Excel or Google Sheets file you can sort, filter and work from. Depending on the brief, that can mean a tidied spreadsheet, data typed in consistently, or tables taken out of a PDF. Your file is used only for the order and deleted after delivery.

Data cleaning
Checking and correcting a spreadsheet so names, dates, numbers and categories follow one format, duplicates and blank rows are dealt with, and the columns actually mean what they say.
PDF to Excel
Taking tables that are locked in a PDF — invoices, statements, lists — and turning them into a proper spreadsheet, then checking the totals against the source.
Standardising formats
Making sure dates, phone numbers, currencies and spelling are consistent throughout the file, so it can be filtered or uploaded into another system without manual fixes.

Research

What you get

A clear PDF report you can act on, or drop into a business plan. Depending on the package, that includes market size and trends, a competitor comparison, a customer profile, and — on Premium — a SWOT, risks and recommendations. Key facts are listed with their sources.

Market research
A structured look at how large the market is, how it is changing, and what that means for your offer, drawn from public reports, official statistics, company sites and other cited sources.
Competitor analysis
A side-by-side comparison of the other businesses you will be measured against: what they sell, what they charge, and where they are strong or weak.
SWOT analysis
A plain summary of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats — so you can see where to push, where to be careful, and what to do next. Included in the Premium package.

Before you order

What to send me

You do not need a perfect brief. Send what you have. If something is missing, say so — we can work from that, and I will ask only for what I still need after you order.

For a business plan or pitch deck

  • What the business does, and who it is for
  • Where you operate, or plan to
  • What you charge, and your main costs, if you know them
  • Who you see as your competitors, and what stops them copying you
  • What the plan is for — a loan, investors, a grant, or your own planning — and how much funding you are looking for, if relevant
  • A logo, brand colours or existing documents, if you have them. This one is optional
  • Optional: any traction so far, such as sales, pilot customers, letters of intent or a waitlist
  • Optional: why you and your team are the right people to run this business
  • Optional: how you will find your first customers, and roughly what it will cost to win each one
  • Optional: if you are raising money, how you will split it (for example product, marketing, stock), and what you are offering investors in return (shares, a loan or something else)

A short questionnaire after you order walks you through the same points. If you would rather talk it through first, message me on Fiverr.

How I work

Quality standards you can expect

The same care I use on a plant floor and in procurement goes into every plan, spreadsheet and report: a clear process, a careful check, and files you can use.

A structured process

  1. 01

    Brief

    Message me on Fiverr with your idea or file. I will help you pick the right package before you order, if you want.

  2. 02

    Order

    Place the order on Fiverr and answer a short set of questions. That is also how payment is handled.

  3. 03

    Delivery

    You receive a polished first draft in a standard format (Word, PDF, PowerPoint, Google Slides, Excel or Google Sheets, as agreed), within the package delivery time — sooner if you choose extra-fast delivery.

  4. 04

    Revisions

    Use the revisions included in your package so the final files fit your business. Extra revisions can be arranged if you need them.

The standard I work to

  • Accuracy checks

    Every file is personally reviewed before it is delivered. I use modern research and drafting software to work faster, then personally review, fact-check and tailor every file. Data is checked against the original. In research, key facts are listed with their sources, and anything I cannot verify is marked as such.

  • Confidentiality

    What you share is used only to complete your order. Data files are deleted after delivery. The gallery on this site is fictional sample work, not client files.

  • Revisions

    Basic includes one revision, Standard two, and Premium three, so you can review a complete first draft and have it adjusted. If you need more, we can arrange extra revisions on Fiverr.

  • On-time delivery

    I work to the delivery time of the package you order, on South African Standard Time (SAST, UTC+2). That gives a full working-day overlap with the UK and Europe, and a morning or evening overlap with the United States. If you are on a tighter deadline, extra-fast delivery is available on Fiverr — message me first if you need to confirm a date.

I work with clients worldwide. All communication and delivery is through Fiverr, in English, with prices in USD. I have spent over 10 years in manufacturing, operations and procurement at a spring-water plant in KwaZulu-Natal. Food and beverage, manufacturing and general startups are especially welcome.

About

A decade of hands-on operational and commercial expertise in FMCG manufacturing

I'm Shannon, founder of SpaceView Solutions. I bring close to ten years of frontline experience at aQuellé South Africa, a high-volume spring-water bottling operation in KwaZulu-Natal, to every business plan, pitch deck, data clean-up and research report I deliver.

My career has spanned quality-critical production and strategic procurement. I understand how costs, suppliers, capacity and compliance work in a real operating business, and I use that commercial judgement to produce documents that are rigorous, realistic and ready to put in front of lenders, investors and decision-makers.

Professional experience

  1. Jan 2016 – Dec 2022

    Production Technician, Clean Room Operations

    aQuellé South Africa · KwaZulu-Natal

    I progressed through successive promotions, from general operations to junior technician and then technician. For roughly four years I held sole operational accountability for the clean room: the carbonation systems, the filling lines and the hygienically controlled bottling environment. That meant upholding stringent food-safety and quality standards, managing equipment performance and keeping line output dependable.

  2. Jan 2023 – present

    Technical Buyer, Procurement

    aQuellé South Africa · KwaZulu-Natal

    I lead the strategic sourcing of technical components, spares and consumables for a continuous-production bottling plant. I evaluate and benchmark supplier quotations, secure value-driven terms and support disciplined cost governance, so production stays uninterrupted and spend stays accountable.

FAQ

How the work is ordered and delivered

How do I order, and why through Fiverr?

All work is ordered on my Fiverr profile, @spaceview. You can message me there first, then place an order for the package that fits. Payment is handled by Fiverr, which also keeps a record of the brief, delivery and revisions. I do not take orders, payments or project chat off the platform.

How long does delivery take?

Each package has a delivery time of between a few days and about a week, depending on the service and the package you choose. Extra-fast delivery is available on Fiverr if you are on a tighter deadline — message me first if you need to confirm a date.

How many revisions do I get?

Basic packages include one revision, Standard two, and Premium three. The idea is that you review a complete first draft, then I adjust it so it fits your business. If you need more, we can arrange extra revisions on Fiverr.

Is my information kept confidential?

Yes. What you share is used only to complete your order. Data files are deleted after delivery. I do not use client work as public examples unless we agree to that in advance — the pieces in the sample gallery above are fictional projects, prepared so you can see the standard of the work.

What do you need from me?

For a business plan or research report: your idea, where you operate, prices, main costs, competitors you already know, and what the document is for. A short questionnaire after you order walks you through it. For data cleaning: your file, what “clean” means for you, and whether you want Excel or Google Sheets back.

Can you guarantee I will get funding?

No one can. I will make sure your plan or pitch is clear, professional and well researched, so you can take it into a meeting with confidence.

Ready to brief a plan, a spreadsheet or a research report?

Send a message on Fiverr with what you need. If you are not sure which package fits, say so — I will help you choose before you order.
