OUR HISTORY
OUR HISTORY
Business Re-Solution was founded by Dr JP Bruwer in 2019 as a dedicated platform for Dr JP Bruwer to add value using his specialised expertise. Business Re-Solution was originally established to provide customised research solutions to South African Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).
In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, Business Re-Solution did however undergo a strategic shift. During this period (2020), Business Re-Solution pivoted its focus from South African HEIs to Individual Researchers, while also providing customised business solutions to Small Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs).
Business Re-Solution continued to evolve through direct demand. Dr JP Bruwer was approached by Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) Leaders to add value in 2023. This led to Business Re-Solution to formally provide customised business solutions and customised empowerment solutions to NPOs.
In mid-2025, yet through another direct demand, Dr JP Bruwer was approached by a Professional Body to add value. This resulted in Business Re-Solution also providing customised empowerment solutions to Professional Bodies.
