FOR PEOPLE GOING SELF-EMPLOYED

Look like you've been trading for years. By Friday.

Your brand, website, business cards and a step-by-step guide to setting up in your trade. One fixed price. No agency nonsense. Live in five working days.

You're brilliant at the work. Nobody can tell yet.

You've got the skills, the van's ordered, and the first customer is asking for your details. What you haven't got is an email address that isn't @gmail, a logo, a website, or the faintest idea whether you need insurance before Monday. That's the bit we do.

Everything in the box.

01

Logo & brand

A proper logo suite (main, stacked, icon) with colours and fonts chosen for your trade. Yours to keep, every file format you'll ever be asked for.

02

One-page website

Live on your own domain, with a working enquiry form. Not a template with your name dropped in.

03

Business cards & flyer

Print-ready. We can arrange printing or hand you the files.

04

Email signature & professional email

you@yourbusiness.co.uk, set up and working on your phone.

05

The Startup Guide

A written-for-your-trade guide: sole trader vs limited, the insurance you actually need, pricing, finding your first clients, a day-one checklist.

06

The last mile

Domain, hosting, email, forms: the fiddly technical bits, done for you. You never touch a settings page.

Four steps. Five days.

STEP 1

Tell us about you

A 20-minute questionnaire. Your trade, your services, your prices, the look you're after.

STEP 2

We build the lot

Brand, site, print, guide. First draft with you in 3 working days.

STEP 3

One round of tweaks

You tell us what's off, we fix it. We don't stop until you're happy to hand it out.

STEP 4

You go live Friday

Website up, email working, cards at the printer. Open for business.

One price. No surprises.

"I run a small fire & security firm. I know exactly what it's like to start with nothing but a phone and a van."

Trading As started when I built a launch pack for a friend setting up her own consultancy — brand, website, the lot — and realised every person going self-employed needs the same thing and nobody sells it at a price that makes sense. So now we do.

— Steve Lowe, Trading As

Questions people actually ask.

No. That's the point. You answer a questionnaire; we do everything else, including the domain, hosting and email.

You do. The domain is registered in your name, and every logo and file is yours to keep — even if you leave the care plan.

Launch includes a full revision round, and honestly — we keep going until you're happy to hand your card to a stranger. Nobody's ever walked away.

Fixed scope, modern tools and no office in Shoreditch. We've productised the process so the time goes into your brand, not meetings about meetings.

Five working days from your questionnaire to live, for Launch. If you need it quicker, ask — we've done it in two.

No — it's practical experience of setting up small UK businesses, written for your trade. For legal or tax specifics we'll always tell you to speak to an accountant.

Start Monday. Trade Friday.

Tell us a bit about you and we'll take it from there. No hard sell — just a quick chat about what you need.

Prefer to talk first?

Got it.

We'll ring or email within one working day for a quick chat — no hard sell.
