Question 1

What does Market & Me do?

Accepted Answer

We help founders and teams run and grow better businesses.

Think of us as your modern-day business partner - combining business strategy, coaching and practical support so you can make clear decisions, strengthen your structure and grow with confidence.

Work with us 1:1 through tailored business strategy and coaching, or join our in-person Social Club for co-working, conversation and connection.

Question 2

How does the coaching and strategy support work?

Accepted Answer

It’s structured time to focus on your business - not just work in it.

Together we’ll review what’s working, what’s holding you back and where the real opportunities are.

You choose the level of business help you need:
Power Sessions - short, focused strategy calls for quick clarity.
Strategy & Coaching Partnerships - three-month focus to realign your direction and keep you accountably moving forward.
Founder Coaching - rolling monthly life and business coaching, because businesses don't work if the person behind them doesn't
Audits & Advisory - half-day deep dives to strengthen performance and foundations.

Question 3

What kind of businesses do you work with?

Accepted Answer

Mostly businesses in retail, hospitality, leisure and lifestyle - such as restaurants, cafes, bars, food and drink brands, independent shops (fashion, food, lifestyle), salons, beauty and wellness, fitness studios, stylists.

We also work with founders outside these industries if we're confident we can support their growth. We've worked with coaches, tech companies, transport services and more.

If you're ambitious, values-driven, and want sustainable growth - you'll fit right in.

Question 5

What results can I expect?

Accepted Answer

Honestly? That's down to you.

I can give you clarity on what matters, help you figure out what's in your way, and support you in making better decisions - but the results come from you actually doing something with it.

Clients who show up, do the work, and implement what we figure out together tend to see clearer strategy, smoother operations, more sustainable growth, and better confidence in their decisions. Including making back what they've invested in coaching - and then some - through improved revenue and profitability.

The work we do together is about building something that actually works for you - and that takes commitment from both of us.

Question 6

When is the right time to get business help or advice?

Accepted Answer

You don’t need to wait for a crisis to get business advice; you just need a moment of honesty that something needs to shift.

Working with a business strategist and coach helps you:
Refocus your goals and direction
Strengthen your business structure
Unlock growth opportunities you can actually sustain

In short: the right time to seek business support is when you want to grow and take things forward with a sense of clarity - not chaos.

Question 7

What makes Market & Me different?

Accepted Answer

Real-world experience.

We’ve worked inside the industries we now advise, so our business advice comes from doing, not just knowing.

You’ll get clear thinking, practical steps and partnership - corporate BS, no 60-page reports.

We combine real-world business experience with strategic thinking.

Question 8

What’s the Market & Me Social Club?

Accepted Answer

The Social Club is a space for business owners in retail, hospitality and lifestyle to connect, share what's working, and get support from people who actually understand what you're building.

It's not a networking group or a course - it's a proper community where you can ask questions, celebrate wins, share challenges, and access resources without all the LinkedIn polish.

Some members are part of the monthly Founder Sessions (work days where you show up and actually work ON your business with other founders). Others are here for the community and resources and socials.

Question 9

Do I need an established business to work with you?

Accepted Answer

No. We work with both new and established founders.

If you’re early-stage, we’ll help you build strong foundations; if you’re further along, we’ll refine your business strategy so it fits the stage you’re in now.

Question 10

Do I have to commit long-term?

Not at all.

You can start with a single session or commit to a few focused months - whatever fits your goals.
