Our published service price starts with £295 for the Opportunity & Launch Plan. If you continue into Business Build & Launch within 14 days, that amount is credited towards the £1,895 total total. The build is paid in defined stages: £295, £800 and £800. This covers the commercial strategy, identity, website and the primary customer journey, ready for you to publish.
Your wider budget may also include a domain, payment-provider charges, company or sole-trader administration, insurance, software, stock, advertising and specialist legal, tax or regulatory advice. The mix depends on what you sell. Your own time also has value, especially if delivery competes with paid work. Listing these items separately gives you a useful cost range and prevents a small filing fee from being mistaken for the full launch budget.
Separate setup from operating costs
Setup costs create the first working version of the business: research, planning, branding, website, initial stock where relevant and registration. Operating costs continue after launch and may include software, processing fees, insurance, fulfilment and promotion. Estimate both categories for at least the first few months so the business remains affordable after it goes live.
Understand the staged service price
£295 covers the initial decision work, including profile review, a 75-minute session and a written Opportunity Decision Brief. £800 begins the practical build after direction is approved. £800 covers the final stage once the core build has been reviewed in private preview and is being prepared for launch.
We develop the idea, the strategy and the website. Begin with a Launch Plan — £295 — from an idea, a skill, an interest, or none.

Budget according to the business model
A consultancy may need little beyond expertise, insurance and a professional sales journey. An online shop may require samples, stock, packaging, returns and fulfilment. A regulated service may need specific advice or permissions. Build a model-specific budget and keep a reserve for changes prompted by customer feedback rather than copying a generic start-up figure.
