my services

All these services are at fixed costs so that you don’t have any surprises.

I hope that you agree that these are all incredibly good value. You get a highly experienced adviser/mentor for the price of a night out in London. These prices are introductory now that my sole focus is small business advice and I am building it up. Clients who engage at these levels will keep these prices, but they will likely go up for those engaging in the future.

Membership plan


This one was specifically requested by clients. A membership which gives you the following:
1. three hours of advice a month (you can save up if not used)
2. out-of-hours/emergency access so that you have great advice available outside of 9 to 5
3. 10% discount on any other services or any additional hours

I like the idea too as I have found that the very best business outcomes involve longer-term relationships and partnerships, which this gives. The longer-term nature of this membership plan means that we get to know each other better and I get to know your business really well.

£360/month

If none of those are what you are looking for, then let’s discuss what you want. If I can help you, I’ll give you a quote.
