Starting a Small Business
Excited? Terrified? Scared you might fail? Of course you are. I know what you're going through - I've been there myself. Every client I've worked with felt the same at the start of their journey. Hold on to why you want this - how it will change your life, what you stand to gain. It's time to push the fear to one side and make a start.
I help entrepreneurs from across the UK who:
- don't have a clue how to start or run a business
- know a little about business but want advice about something specific
- want to start a side hustle, sole trader, Ltd or Partnership business
- need reassurance, advice, support & understanding
- want to become well-rounded business owners
- need finance or investment to start their business
- know nothing about technology or social media
- have a lot going on in their lives such as a full time job or young family

Lost motivation? Feeling overwhelmed? Feel like your business is failing? Or perhaps you feel it's time to expand but are worried that you'll jeopardise your existing business?

- need to get their business back on track and moving towards their goals.
- need reassurance, advice, support & understanding
- have a side hustle, sole trader, Ltd or partnership business.
- want to improve their knowledge or skills in business ownership and/or marketing

Free Consultation
I offer all small business owners one free consultation. If you have just a few questions about business, this may be all you need! During our chat we’ll discuss anything you like – we can go through where you’ve got to so far, what worries you have about starting a business, how to register with the HMRC or go through any issues you’ve encountered. I’ll be able to answer your questions and offer you some advice on where you need to go from here.
You can either click the 'book a time now' button below, or scroll a little further down and complete the Free Consultation Request and we'll be in touch to arrange a time with you.
£ = These consults are 100% free of charge and come with no obligation.
Business Support Services
In addition to our consultancy services, we also offer a range of Pay As You Go business small business support services.
Marketing Support & Management
I can help you work out what you need to do to put your business ‘on the map’ - or figure out why your marketing efforts haven't been working so far!
PAYG Virtual Administration
When you reach that point where you can't quite do it all yourself, but don't want to have to employ an administrator, our PAYG admin services are exactly what's needed.
Websites
Affordable, beautiful, professional brochure style or E-Commerce commerce websites to take your business forward. Designed and developed with your future customers in mind.
PAYG Virtual Book Keeping
Whether you don't have a clue about accounts, hate them, or simply don't have time....our Pay as you Go book keeping service ideal for small business owners.
Social Media Management
Your social media presence is like your shop window. It can be damaging if you don't keep active with your social media work - but it can be incredibly time consuming. And it does take a fair bit of knowledge and experience to get it right.
Our Pay as you Go social media management service can ensure that all posts are cleverly curated and give your business the best chance of success.
Graphic Design
Most small businesses need some design work doing from time to time. With a small budget, it becomes even more important to ensure that designs are done correctly the first time. We offer affordable design work of business cards, leaflets, adverts etc - all designed by a marketing specialist.
