Our Story in Business Finance Education
Since 2018, we've been helping Taiwan businesses understand finance fundamentals. What started as a simple consulting practice has grown into a comprehensive educational platform serving hundreds of business owners across the region.
How We Built SagionLog
Every successful business has a story. Ours began with a simple observation: too many business owners were making financial decisions without understanding the basics. Here's how we grew from that insight.
The Beginning
Started as a small consulting firm in New Taipei City. Our founder noticed that many local businesses struggled with basic financial concepts like cash flow analysis and budget planning. We began offering weekend workshops in community centers.
Digital Transformation
When the pandemic hit, we quickly moved our workshops online. This unexpected change allowed us to reach businesses across Taiwan. We developed our first structured online courses and saw enrollment triple within six months.
Platform Launch
Launched SagionLog as a comprehensive business finance education platform. By this point, we had helped over 200 businesses improve their financial management. Our course completion rate reached 78%, well above industry standards.
Community Growth
Expanded our educational offerings and built a community of business owners who support each other. We now offer specialized programs for different industries and business stages. Our alumni network includes successful entrepreneurs from across Taiwan.
Looking Forward
This year, we're focusing on advanced topics like international business finance and digital payment systems. We're also developing partnerships with local banks to provide our graduates with better access to business financing options.
What Guides Our Work
These aren't just nice words on a wall. These principles shape every course we create and every business relationship we build.
Practical Over Perfect
We teach finance concepts that business owners can actually use. No academic theories that sound impressive but don't help with real decisions. Every lesson connects to actual business situations our students face daily.
Clear Communication
Finance doesn't have to be confusing. We break down complex topics into understandable pieces. If you can't explain something simply, you probably don't understand it yourself. That's our teaching philosophy.
Long-term Relationships
Our relationship doesn't end when the course does. Many of our 2019 students still reach out with questions. We're here for the long haul, supporting your business growth as your financial needs become more complex.
Results That Matter
Success means our students make better financial decisions. We measure this through improved cash flow management, more accurate budgeting, and increased confidence when talking to banks or investors. These outcomes matter more than completion certificates.
The People Behind SagionLog
We're a small but experienced team focused on business finance education. Our backgrounds combine practical business experience with teaching expertise. We've all run businesses ourselves, so we understand the challenges you're facing.
What makes our approach different? We focus on Taiwan's business environment. Local regulations, banking practices, tax considerations – these details matter when you're making financial decisions for your business.
