Starting a new business is exciting – it’s the beginning of something fresh, ambitious, and full of potential.

Starting a new business can be daunting

But with opportunity comes competition, and in today’s climate, you need more than just a good idea and a solid product or service. You need to present your business professionally and with purpose. This is where a business capability statement becomes a real asset.


So, What’s a Capability Statement?


Think of it as your business’s calling card – but on steroids. A capability statement is a concise document that outlines who you are, what you do, and why potential clients should choose you. It showcases your strengths, your experience (even if limited), and the key services or products you offer.


For new businesses, it’s a particularly powerful tool. When you’re starting out, it can be tough to stand out or earn trust, especially if you’re bidding for government work, approaching larger organisations, or pitching to suppliers and partners. A well-crafted capability statement lends you credibility and helps you communicate your value with clarity and confidence.


Why It Matters


In many industries, especially those working with government contracts or large corporates, a capability statement is not just helpful – it’s expected. But even if you’re not playing in that space, having one on hand makes you look organised, serious and ready to do business.


It’s also useful beyond just tenders. You can use it in meetings, send it to prospective clients, include it in your marketing pack, or keep it ready for networking events. It becomes part of your brand presence.
