Starting a Business

Most people starting out spend three months planning and no time trading. This is the opposite of that.

What is included

  • Company and structure guidance, including whether you actually need a limited company yet
  • Brand basics: name, logo, colours, the things you need before anything else can be made
  • Your first website, built and live
  • One automation running before we finish, usually enquiry handling
  • Eight hours of guidance with us, one to one

You come out trading.

Two ways to run it

Same package, same eight hours, same price. Pick the pace that suits you.

Standard

8 weeks

  • 1 hour a week
  • 8 guidance hours

Fast track

4 weeks

  • 2 hours a week
  • 8 guidance hours

The fast track is for people who already know what they are doing and want it finished. The standard track suits anyone still working out the shape of it, or fitting this around a job.

What it costs

£1,495

The full package.

Or £495 to start, then £250 a month for four months.

Same total, spread so it can come out of early trading income rather than savings.

The website alone would normally be £250 to £750 and the automation £300 to £500, so the package works out cheaper than buying the parts separately.

What is not included

Being clear up front so nothing gets awkward later.

  • The website is a starter site, up to five pages. Ecommerce, booking systems and larger builds are quoted separately at our normal rates.
  • Company registration fees, domain and hosting costs are paid by you direct to the provider. We set them up, we do not mark them up.
  • Eight weeks means eight weeks. Unused sessions are not carried over.
  • We build the website from what you supply. If your content is not with us by week four on the standard track, or week two on the fast track, the site goes live with placeholders and you update it afterwards.

That last one is not us being difficult. Projects that drift do so because content never arrives, and a deadline is the only thing that fixes it.

Who it is for

People starting from nothing, or already earning something on the side and ready to make it a proper business.

If you are already trading with a website and systems in place, you want the tech audit instead.

Straight answers

Can I do more than two hours a week?

No. Two hours is the ceiling. Past that you are not being guided, you are outsourcing the thinking, and the whole point is that you come out able to run it.

What if I need longer than eight weeks?

Then the package finishes and anything further is quoted as normal work. Most people do not need longer, because the deadline is what makes it happen.

Do I need a limited company?

Possibly not yet, and we will tell you honestly. Plenty of people are better off as a sole trader for the first year.
