Precise Reputation Design to Launch Excite Enterprise Solution Plans

Precise Reputation Design, a strategic communications and management consultancy firm led by Bolaji Okusaga, is set to launch its first spin-off company, Excite Africa, an enterprise solution digital platform designed to change the face of business development on the African continent.
As enterprise solutions providers, Excite Africa will deliver digital solutions geared towards the automation, promotion and day to day management of business processes for Micro, Small and Medium enterprises.
Information from the company revealed that Excite Enterprise will unveil three affordable subscription plans – Basic plan, the Pro plan and the Elite Plan. The basic plan which is free, will allow users to make use of the market place for free while the paid subscription plans provide users access to Excite’s more specialized services.
Confirming the development to BrandCrunch, Bolaji revealed that Excite enterprise, which is the first of the company’s array of business tools and solutions, is aimed at helping businesses within the informal sector to scale by providing them with access to business management tools and services.
“Excite Enterprise tools and services have been developed with the goal of deepening markets for micro/small and medium businesses”, said Bolaji.
Quoting statistics from National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the Precise CEO noted, “MSME sub-sector is credited with up to eighty five percent (85%) of total industrial employment”, but sadly, the industry is under-optimised due to lack of valuable business knowledge and tools, he added.
In view of this yawning gap, Excite Africa aims to fill some of these visible gaps within the Nigerian MSME space because we fully recognise the need to fill this void within the informal sector of the Economy. At the moment, Nigeria’s MSMEs are limited by poor funding, trade and distribution capacity which affect both registered and unregistered businesses.
With over 17 million registered SMEs according to CAC data, Excite will also offer compliance services such as the facilitation of Business registration, and subscribers will also be able to access funding to scale up their potential while having access to a bigger market.
