Why This Blog Exists

I started this blog with one goal in mind. To build, grow and nurture a community of like-minded small/local business owners in the UK. I’m a strong believer that the self-employed are the building blocks of this country, supplying quality services, great products and real human experience to their communities. However, the support, guidance and advice for the business to become sustainable and profitable are either misleading or overpriced. I’m here to change that.

Did you know that 20% of small businesses fail in their first year and 60% go bust in the first 3 years?

About US

So why would you listen to anything I say?
Well, I started my first local business back in 2019 and it soon became a dominating company in our area. Being 21 years old when I created Coastal Painting Service Limited I had a fresh perspective in an outdated market. Focusing on real human experience, online presence and system building within the business has allowed us to reach £150,000 turnover with only a small team of 3 people.

I’m not teaching people how to scale their business into a million-pound company. I want to teach people how to build a respectable and profitable company that serves their community and allows them to have the flex-ability, reliability and pride every small business owner wants.

Keeping It Local

When you live in a world where everything seems to be online, it is hard to remember that there is good money to be made in your local area. If you go online and search how to make money you’ll be flooded with loads of online businesses that promise returns that sound too good to be true.

I want to help people realise that starting a small business is not only possible but might be more lucrative than you first thought. If you take the time to stop and look around most businesses’ are either large companies or run completely online. The demand for hands-on skills, Human experience and local prices will continue to increase and if you can start and grow your local/small business now, you are guaranteed to reap the rewards in the future.
