Why We Started zirvaneloxa
Back in 2017, I was consulting for a mid-sized manufacturing company in Melbourne. They wanted to expand their production line – a $2.8 million investment. When I asked about their capital budgeting analysis, they showed me a basic Excel sheet with some rough calculations.
No net present value calculations. No sensitivity analysis. No consideration of alternative investments. They were about to make a multi-million dollar decision based on gut feeling and basic payback period math.
That's when I realized how many Australian businesses needed proper capital budgeting education. Not theoretical university courses, but practical training that addresses real-world scenarios – dealing with uncertain cash flows, comparing projects with different lifespans, and making decisions when data is incomplete.
We founded zirvaneloxa to bridge that gap. Every course we develop comes from actual business situations we've encountered, not textbook examples.
