What you'll learn

The skills, the structure, and the funding know-how to get your idea launch-ready.

This isn't a broad business degree. It's the specific, practical skill set you need to go from "I want to start something" to a real, running business — with your mentor beside you the whole way.

The skills we equip you with

Every skill here is taught in the context of your own business, not as a generic lesson.

Direction

Finding the right idea

How to test whether a business idea actually fits you and has a real market — before you spend a penny building it.

Marketing

Getting found and getting customers

The practical basics of marketing your business — where to show up, what to say, and how to turn attention into your first sales.

Sourcing

Finding your product or service

How to source products, suppliers, or structure a service offer — whatever your business needs to actually deliver.

Foundations

Setting up properly

The practical basics of structuring a business — how to set up, price what you sell, and keep track of the money.

Funding

Exploring how to fund it

We help you understand the realistic routes to funding your start-up costs, and think through which fits your situation.

Momentum

Staying accountable

Weekly calls mean you always have a next concrete step — and someone checking in on whether you took it.

The structure that gets you there

By the end of the Foundation phase, you have a validated idea, the groundwork laid, and a clear plan to launch. The Growth phase (Intensive clients) takes it further — sourcing, marketing execution, and the push to actually launch.

Weeks 1–8

Foundation

Direction, a validated idea, the basics of marketing and setup, and a concrete launch plan.

Weeks 9–12

Growth (Intensive)

Sourcing your product or service, building out your marketing, and troubleshooting your actual launch.

Funding your start-up costs

Most people starting a business need to think through how to fund it. We help you understand your options and work out what's realistic for you.

This includes talking through routes such as personal savings, government-backed start-up loan schemes, small business grants, or simply starting lean and scaling as revenue comes in. We help you think it through clearly — we're not financial advisers, and we don't arrange or guarantee funding, but we make sure you understand the realistic options before you commit any money.

Examples of businesses we guide people into

The programme isn't tied to one business type — here's a flavour of what past guidance has covered.

Example

Online businesses

Digital services, content, or online-first offers — built and marketed without needing physical premises.

Example

Food retail

From a market stall or pop-up to a small food business — sourcing, pricing, and the practical basics of getting started.

Example

E-commerce

Sourcing products, setting up a store, and marketing it — including exploring models like Amazon FBA as one option among several.

These are illustrative categories, not guaranteed outcomes — the right fit for you comes out of your discovery call and early sessions.
