Expert Growth System · Investment

Build the System. Keep It Working. Choose How We Partner.

Your Expert Growth System needs two things after it is built: the digital infrastructure that keeps it live, and ongoing management that keeps it useful.

The infrastructure is your digital rent. Then you choose whether Startup Essentials maintains the system for a fixed monthly fee or grows with you through a performance partnership.
Required for every Expert Growth System

Your Core Infrastructure

K10,000per year

Or USD 500/year. This is the annual cost of the third-party providers and digital infrastructure required to keep your system operational.

Think of it as digital rent. The system lives on infrastructure supplied by third-party providers.
Choose how to pay. Pay K10,000 upfront, or use the 12-month installment plan: K1,750 in month 1, then K750 per month for months 2–12.
Usage extras are separate. Advertising, SMS credits, payment fees and optional premium add-ons are not included unless stated.
1. InfrastructureK10,000/year or USD 500/year keeps the core digital environment running. The K10,000 can be paid upfront or as K1,750 in month 1, then K750/month for months 2–12.
2. ManagementChoose a predictable monthly retainer or an aligned performance partnership.
3. GrowthThe aim is not to own more software. It is to turn more of your existing expertise and attention into clients.
What the annual fee is for

The system needs a place to live.

Web pages, automations, CRM, booking, lead capture and the supporting tools are powered by third-party platforms.

You are not paying K10,000 for maintenance. You are investing in the underlying digital environment that allows the agreed system components to keep running.

Startup Essentials then maintains and manages that infrastructure under one of the two models below.

01
Lead capture and qualification

The pages, forms and routes that turn anonymous attention into identifiable opportunities.

02
CRM and pipeline infrastructure

The place where leads, stages, follow-up and opportunities can be managed more deliberately.

03
Booking and conversion infrastructure

The systems that help qualified prospects take a clear next step instead of disappearing into scattered messages.

04
Automation and follow-up

The technical connections that reduce manual work and help valuable opportunities keep moving.

Choose your management model

Two ways to keep your Expert Growth System working for you.

Both options require the K10,000 annual infrastructure amount, which can be paid upfront or in installments: K1,750 in month 1, then K750/month for months 2–12. The difference is how Startup Essentials is compensated for ongoing management.

Predictable Fixed Cost

Managed Growth

For experts who want a straightforward monthly cost for system maintenance and technical management.

K2,500 /month
+ K10,000/year core infrastructure
  • Routine system maintenance and monitoring
  • Reasonable technical fixes and adjustments within the agreed system
  • Ongoing management of the core growth infrastructure
  • No percentage of your System-Generated Profit
  • First-year operating cost: K40,000 before optional usage extras
Best fit: You prefer cost certainty and want to keep 100% of profit after paying the fixed management fee.
Aligned Performance Model

Growth Partnership

For experts who prefer lower fixed management costs and want Startup Essentials commercially aligned with system performance.

30% of profit
+ K10,000/year core infrastructure
  • No K2,500 monthly maintenance retainer
  • Startup Essentials receives 30% of System-Generated Profit
  • Applies to business generated through the system even when payment happens elsewhere
  • Requires transparent monthly reporting and reasonable verification access
  • Your fixed annual operating cost remains the K10,000 infrastructure fee
Best fit: You want incentives aligned and are comfortable sharing verified profit from business the system generates.

How the 30% model works

We follow the source of the opportunity, not the payment method.

If the system generated the business, moving the final payment outside the system does not remove it from the performance arrangement.

01 · AttributionWhere did the opportunity come from?

If a lead, enquiry, booking, proposal opportunity or client relationship originated from or was materially progressed through the Expert Growth System, it is System-Generated Business.

02 · PaymentPayment can happen anywhere.

Bank transfer, mobile money, invoice, cash, another platform or a direct payment method are all included where the opportunity was generated through the system.

03 · ProfitThe share is calculated on profit, not simply turnover.

The Agreement defines which direct fulfilment costs, refunds, processing fees and directly attributable ad spend are deducted before the 30% share is calculated.

Ready to choose?

Pick the model that fits how you want to grow.

Before proceeding, review the Expert Growth System Service Agreement. It defines the infrastructure fee, the two management models, attribution, profit calculation, reporting and termination.

Questions worth asking

Know what you are paying for before you choose.

Is the K10,000 an annual Startup Essentials retainer?

No. It is the core annual infrastructure cost required to keep the agreed system environment running. Think of it as digital rent paid for the necessary providers and underlying systems.

Do I pay K2,500/month and 30%?

No. You choose one management model: either the fixed K2,500 monthly retainer or the 30% Growth Partnership model. Both require the annual infrastructure fee.

Can I pay the core infrastructure amount monthly?

Yes. Instead of paying K10,000 upfront, you may pay K1,750 in the first month and K750 per month for the remaining 11 months. The total annual infrastructure amount remains K10,000.

What if a client pays me directly?

Under the Growth Partnership model, the payment still counts where the opportunity was generated through the Expert Growth System. Attribution follows the source of the business, not the payment channel.

Does the 30% apply to all revenue in my business?

No. It applies to System-Generated Profit as defined in the Agreement, not unrelated business that did not originate from or materially progress through the Expert Growth System.

Are ads, SMS credits and payment fees included in K10,000?

Not automatically. Usage-based charges and optional add-ons are separate unless a written proposal specifically includes them.

Is there a guarantee of sales?

No. The system is designed to improve how attention becomes identifiable opportunities and clients, but results still depend on your offer, market, traffic, sales process, pricing and fulfilment.

Expert Growth System

Your expertise already has value. The system is there to help you capture more of it.

Choose the management model that makes sense for your business, then build around the opportunities you already have instead of relying on scattered follow-up and manual effort.
