FOR FOUNDERS & BUSINESS OWNERS
Every business needs someone in their corner who can see what they're too close to see.
The opportunity you keep meaning to chase. The problem that's quietly become normal. The decision that's been on next week's list for months.
Together, we work out what matters, what doesn't, and what happens next so your business can start growing.
Your Co-CEO. Part strategist. Part advisor. Part coach.
She managed to save both my business, and me.
If you want someone who’ll ask the hard questions, cut through the noise, and actually help you sort your business out, Sophie is your person. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again.
TIAGO, STRUCTURE PM
I'm for you if.
-
You're working flat out and starting to suspect effort isn't the problem.
-
You've got more ideas than time, and no clear order to do them in.
-
The business is growing and you're not sure the foundations will take the weight.
-
The same decision keeps landing back on your desk and you keep putting it off.
-
You want someone who'll guide and advise you, even when it isn't what you hoped to hear.
-
You want to grow and develop with your business
I'm not for you if.
-
You want someone to nod along and agree with you on everything.
-
You're after a cut and paste, one size fits all template to growth.
-
You're not ready to take action and do the work.

We saw a 2,000%+ return on our investment and more clarity than we’ve had in years
"Sophie has been absolutely brilliant. As our business grows, Market & Me has been our guiding light! With Sophie’s laid-back yet focused approach and an endless supply of resources, we’ve seen significant improvements in a short time.
Here’s how Market & Me has impacted the business and me personally:
-
Branding & Digital Presence: Our webpage and Google reviews have brought in several bookings.
-
Structured Working Week: We’ve defined and stuck to clear service days and times.
-
Team Growth: We’ve expanded from 1 full-time staff member to 3 part-timers and 1 full-time, with our self-employed porters growing from 2 to 5.
-
Automation: Our systems and workflows are now fully automated, streamlining service delivery and improving efficiency.
-
Financials: We saw a 15% year-on-year profit increase, despite reducing over 350 labour hours and higher expenses.
-
Personal Development: I’m more present in my life-exercising regularly, managing family better, and reading 23 books last year!"

-
A clear order of priorities, and permission to park the rest
-
The decision you've been sitting on, made
-
Foundations that can carry the next stage of growth

An experienced sounding board who knows your business and tells you straight

Follow-up notes with action steps
It was so nice to empty all my confusion out of my mind
"I had a very insightful session with Sophie to help my business grow. She asked me all the questions to point towards the right direction. It was so nice to empty all my confusion out of my mind and make space to see things clearly. Sophie has a natural gift to open up our potential and help me to explore my own needs and wants so that I can make right decisions with confidence. Thank you so much Sophie, I’m looking forward to seeing you at the next session."
Makiko, Bijin Therapy
Invaluable in helping us identify our business's key priorities.
"It was a pleasure working with Sophie! Her guidance was invaluable in helping us identify our business's key priorities. We developed a clear strategic plan with actionable next steps."
Amy, Rainbow Rocket Climbing Centre
The business went from potential closure to expansion in less than a year
"I worked with Sophie for several months which really helped focus the next steps of my business.
The support, guidance and cheerleading massively helped me and my business to be more focused, which led to substantial growth and opportunities."
Jacqui, Mojo Food & Drink
This experience offered me a unique perspective.
"I had the opportunity to be mentored by Sophie, and I'd like to express my gratitude for the guidance provided during this time.
Sophie was incredibly personable and supportive, offering encouragement and a listening ear when needed.
Her willingness to assist and her approachable nature were truly appreciated. This experience offered me a unique perspective, and I am thankful for the support and the time dedicated to my development."
Kay, Surya Prana Nutrition
The benefits were immense!
"When I started out, I was uncertain about the direction of my business - whether to focus on veggie or meat options, sell at markets or shops, or even dream of owning my store. I joined various support programs, but the lack of personalised guidance left me feeling lost. That’s when I met Sophie, the Founder of Market & Me, and everything changed.
Sophie’s approach was tailored to my needs. She listened, understood my creativity, and helped craft a plan that worked for my unique business. Her insights on refining my product line to highlight its key selling points were invaluable.
Plus, her guidance on crafting pitch decks for retail meetings helped me secure partnerships with local shops and markets. The benefits were immense.
Working with Sophie gave me the support, emotional backing, and confidence I needed. She transformed my mindset from doubt to action. Beyond business strategy, Sophie also celebrated my wins, helped me navigate challenges, and provided a space for sharing my doubts. Our relationship grew from mentorship to genuine friendship, where we work through challenges and celebrate success together. Thanks to Sophie’s support, my journey with Lula’s Artisan Patties has been a story of growth, flavourful innovation, and collaboration.
