Why we started

We started mashjoy.com to do the work a busy owner doesn't have time for. Our aim is simple: to be the source people trust when a decision costs them money, with guides that are carefully researched, easy to follow, and clear about who each option suits and who should pick something else.

What you can expect from us

  1. An answer for your kind of business

    A salon, a spaza shop and a busy restaurant need different things. Where that's true, we say which option suits which.

  2. Corrections in the open

    When something we've written is wrong or out of date, we fix it and update the date on the page.

What we cover

We want to cover everything that matters to people who run a business, and to anyone making a money decision. We've only just launched, so we're starting with card machines and payments, invoicing, business insurance, backup power and solar, email marketing and business finance. Some sections are still being filled in, and new ones will open as their guides are ready. We're adding to the site every week.

Who's behind it

mashjoy.com was founded by Lucky Mashudu, an entrepreneur who runs a branding and printing business and builds websites for South African companies.
