1The thin file
A thin file is not a weak business.
Banks already know it: when a business has little reliable history, it is harder and more costly to assess, however sound it is. The Growth Record builds that history from the work the business already does, and keeps it.
The record stays with the business. What it has built and proved does not disappear when a programme ends. It carries forward.

2Starting
Start on your own, in a minute. Say what you sell once.
No invitation needed. Find your business by name or registration number, or create it, answer four questions, and say what you sell in a sentence. Mothusi turns it into named, priced offers on your record, asks only for what it could not tell, and opens your first mission.

Mothusi walks you through it, one question at a time.

3Inside the record
Everything about the business, with how sure anyone can be.
Each part of the record carries its grade: what you said, what Mothusi checked, what documents back, what a named reviewer signed off. Nothing is hidden for being unproven. It is simply marked.

4Every week, every month
The work you already do keeps the record current.
A quote the customer approves becomes the invoice, and the paid invoice becomes proof of a paying customer. Once a month, a short check-in by talking takes the money, the people, the projects and what you need, and your programme sees the month without asking you for a report.
A sale, start to finish

5Who sees it
Your record, your say on who sees it.
Your team sees everything. Networks and programmes you join see your record because that comes with joining. A fund or buyer sees it only when you apply and agree. Everyone else sees your public page and your storefront.
The business controls what is shared. Authorised reviewers decide what is verified.
6Programmes and funds
See every call, how far you are, and apply with your record.
Each programme or fund that fits shows how many of its requirements your record already meets and names the one to go. When you apply, the record is the application: you only answer what it does not already hold.

7Sign-off
A named person signs off what you claim. Never Mothusi.
One button sends your documents to a reviewer at your network. The reviewer sees what Mothusi read from each one, then signs it off at a stated grade or sends it back with a note saying exactly what to fix.
Lesedi Greens sends
Nothing leaves the record until you press send.
