We begin with your financial timeframe, responsibilities and appetite for uncertainty, alongside the skills and customer problems your career has prepared you to address. Business revenue may take time and is not a substitute for independent advice on benefits, tax, pensions or redundancy terms. Temporary work, employment applications and a staged business test can all form part of a responsible plan while evidence develops.
Potential offers are assessed for demand, credibility, conflicts, price and access to buyers. If one is strong enough and you approve it, we define the service and build the identity, website and enquiry or payment journey required for launch. The objective is a credible business you can operate, not a promise to replace salary by a fixed date. You choose the level of commitment in light of real customer response.
Protect the financial decision from launch optimism
Calculate essential costs, available runway and the point at which another income source becomes necessary. A business case should not assume immediate sales. Discuss tax, benefits and financial consequences with qualified advisers so the launch decision reflects your circumstances rather than general guidance.
Use experience without reproducing your former role
Your career can provide credibility and insight, but the offer should solve a specific independent customer problem and respect confidentiality or post-employment restrictions. We look for transferable capability and adjacent markets, then define a service that you want to keep delivering outside an organisational role.
We develop the idea, the strategy and the website. Begin with a Launch Plan — £295 — from an idea, a skill, an interest, or none.

Decide whether to launch now or in stages
A paid pilot alongside job applications may be more appropriate than committing all available funds immediately. Alternatively, established demand and sufficient runway may support a fuller launch. We make the assumptions visible so you can choose a proportionate next step rather than treating business ownership as the only response to redundancy.
Who this is for
- UK professionals considering self-employment after redundancy
- People deciding between a staged test and a full launch
- Experienced workers who need a focused offer from broad expertise
What this means for you
A go, stage or pause decision on an experience-led business, based on runway, customer evidence and delivery fit.
Common questions
Can a new business replace my salary quickly?
It may not. Time to first sale and reliable income varies widely, and revenue is not the same as personal pay. Plan conservatively, retain appropriate alternatives and seek qualified financial advice before relying on business income.
Do I need a complete idea before the redundancy date?
No. You can begin by documenting skills, problems understood, constraints and possible customers. A measured assessment after the role ends may be better than choosing quickly under pressure, provided your financial plan allows time for that work.
If you would like to begin, a short profile comes first. From there you can continue into the Business Opportunity & Launch Plan, or request a 20-minute Launch Fit Call.
