Frans Cronje Private Clients

Frans Cronje Private Clients is a firm specializing in independent political and economic advice and strategy.

Once-Off Strategic Briefings

These are formal, in-depth presentations designed to bring your leadership team up to speed on South Africa’s key macro trends and trajectories. Delivered via detailed charts and analysis, the briefings cover the political, economic, and social outlook of the country.
  • Duration: 1 to 2 hours (including Q&A and discussion)
  • Format: In-person or virtual
  • Content: Data-dense, scenario-based insights with projections over the next 12 months
  • Use Case: Ideal for Exco/Board strategy sessions or planning meetings
  • Frequency Recommendation: 1–2 briefings per year

Annual Advisory Retainer

For organisations seeking closer, continuous access to our expertise, we offer a comprehensive annual retainer. This provides clients with on-demand, real-time insights without the administrative overhead of commissioning new work each time.

The retainer includes:

  • On-Demand Briefings: Request formal briefings at any time during the year.
  • Ad-Hoc Consultations: Engage in informal discussions (virtual or in-person) for situational advice using our existing knowledge base.
  • Immediate Support: Contact us via phone or messenger for instant perspective on emerging issues—ideal during crises or fast-developing events.
  • No Routine Reports: We focus on fast, nuanced communication over slow, generic memos. We may issue rare alerts if justified by critical developments (e.g., advance notice of key fiscal or policy shifts).

Tailored Advisory Package

We understand that your needs may fall between the once-off and full-retainer models. We are open to crafting a hybrid service—perhaps involving a fixed number of briefings and check-ins throughout the year—at a customised rate to ensure both relevance and value.

Let us know what cadence and level of support you envision, and we will propose a tailored engagement accordingly.

Bespoke Projects Division

The Bespoke Projects division provides customised research and advisory solutions to FCPC clients. A distinct offering from the retainer-based products and services of the FCPC, bespoke projects are individually tailored to meet your organisation’s specific needs.

Projects may include:

  • Commissioned research reports
  • Indices or monitoring dashboards
  • White-labelled insights and publications
  • Industry-specific briefings or comparative analyses

These projects are priced individually, based on scope and timeline, and are designed to complement your internal planning and stakeholder engagement needs.
