Sole Traders

Big-business thinking for one-person and small businesses

You don't need a boardroom to get proper business support. Whether you're a sole trader, a tradesperson, running a pub or restaurant, or a small boutique business, we help you with the things that actually move the needle — without the jargon, and without the big-agency price tag.

Running a small business often means being the boss, the bookkeeper, the marketer and the one on the tools — all at once. It's a lot. We're here to take some of that weight off: practical, friendly business support shaped around how small businesses actually work, not how textbooks say they should.

How we help

All areas of business support

Getting more customers

Simple, affordable marketing that actually brings in work — a findable website, Google presence, social media and word-of-mouth that scales.

Getting paid properly

Pricing with confidence, quoting and invoicing that works, and chasing late payers so cash keeps flowing.

Taming the admin

Sorting the paperwork, the tools and the systems so the business side takes less of your evenings and weekends.

Planning to grow

Whether to take on help, buy a van, open a second site or just earn more without working more — a clear plan and a steady hand.

Money & numbers

Understanding what you actually make, keeping on top of tax and cash flow, and making decisions with real numbers.

Going digital

Using simple tools and AI to save hours — bookings, quotes, invoicing, customer messages and more.

Executive-level expertise without executive-level overhead.

No jargon. No big-agency price tag. Just practical help from people who get small business.

FAQs

Sole Traders support — your questions answered

Do you really work with one-person businesses?

Absolutely. Sole traders and micro-businesses are exactly who this is for. You get the same experienced support our larger clients get, scaled and priced for a small business.

I'm not a 'corporate' type — is this for me?

Yes. No jargon, no suits-and-spreadsheets attitude. Just plain-English, practical help from someone who understands small businesses and treats you like a person, not an account number.

How much does it cost?

Far less than you'd expect, because it's scaled to you. We offer one-off help, pay-as-you-go advice and affordable ongoing support — agreed up front so there are no surprises. A first chat is free.

I'm too busy to add another thing — how does this help?

That's exactly the point. We take things off your plate — the admin, the marketing, the chasing — so you get time back, not more to do.

What kinds of businesses do you help?

Tradespeople, pubs and restaurants, shops, salons, studios, freelancers and all kinds of small independents across Greater Manchester and the North West.

Can you help me get more work in?

Yes — getting more customers is one of the most common things we help with, from a proper website and Google presence to simple marketing that fits a small budget.

I don't understand my numbers — can you help?

Definitely. We'll help you understand what you actually earn, price properly, keep on top of cash flow and tax, and make decisions with real figures instead of guesswork.

Do I have to sign up for a long contract?

No. Use us as much or as little as you need — a one-off, now and then, or regular support. No long tie-ins.

Can you help me use technology without the hassle?

Yes. We stick to simple, affordable tools (and AI where it genuinely helps) that save you hours on bookings, quotes, invoicing and customer messages — set up so they just work.
