SKM Business Development was founded in 1981 by Mr. Patrick York and has since helped thousands of businesses emerge and scale. While we began the business and operated it most of its life in South Africa, it has now expanded to offering its services in Europe as well.

From very humble beginnings, SKM Business Development has thus far withstood the test of time and proven itself competent and successful in what it does. With much accumulated experience in the field of business development and project management, few can compete with our success rate.

Thousands of companies ranging from low tech to high tech have past our doors and have given us valuable lessons we take with us today.

Our success rate continues to grow because with each client we master the ability to sense if they are likely to succeed before we even begin. We have established key parameters in a startup's team, concept and timing which have led to a higher realization of their potential.

Because of our high success in prospecting startups as well as managing their businesses until they scale, we have accumulated a great network of Angels and VCs who often look at our portfolio for investment opportunities.
