Who We Are

GQ Beyond Holdings (Pty) Ltd, trading as GQ Beyond Consulting, is an Enterprise Development and Services Consultancy headquartered in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape, South Africa.

Founded by husband-and-wife team Morné and Shrina du Plessis in September 2024, our company was born from a conviction that SMEs, startups, youth entrepreneurs, and women in business deserve more than advice — they deserve a structured pathway to sustainability.

We exist to bridge the gap between a business idea and a business that lasts. Through our proprietary AGNETIC™ Framework, we walk alongside our clients at every stage of their journey: from registration and compliance through to branding, visibility, funding readiness, and beyond.
