FOR FOUNDERS & BUSINESS OWNERS 

Strategy + support for businesses that are serious about growth

 

You're running a brilliant business. But somewhere between the day-to-day and the big decisions, you've lost the outside perspective that makes all the difference. That's what I'm here for.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

​​

If any of this sounds like you, you're in the right place.

You're growing but the foundations might not hold it

You've got the ideas and the ambition but nobody challenging your thinking

The decisions are getting bigger and you want to make them with more confidence

You know where you want to take this. You want someone to help you get there faster

You know there's a next level. You just can't see how to get there

You've got the vision. You want someone to pressure test it, challenge it & build it out with you

Working with founders to...

→ Get clarity on strategy and build a plan that aligns to your goals

 

→ Get your pricing, margin and financial structure working as hard as you are

 

→ Build a team and operation that scales with you, not against you

 

→ Open the doors that matter - new markets, new partnerships, new revenue streams

 

→ Build a business that works for your life, not against it

 

→ Make the big decisions with a strategic partner who knows this industry inside out

Dedicated time to step out of the day-to-day and work on your business, with structure, focus and direction.


We’ll look at what’s working, what’s not and where your biggest opportunities lie. Together, we’ll refine your strategy, strengthen your operations and bring clarity to your next stage of growth.

Expect practical support, grounded advice and accountability that helps you - and your business - move forward with confidence.

Lee, Move_Ments

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!"

HERE'S HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER

Every business is different. So is the support.

 

Whether you need a one-off outside perspective or someone in your corner long term - there's an option here for where you are right now.

The Strategy Call

 

A decision, a blocker, a direction question that keeps circling. One hour, one focus. You leave knowing what to do next.

60 mins · Virtual

Follow up notes included

£250

One off

You've got a decision to make, a blocker you can't shift, or a question that keeps circling. You know the answer is in there somewhere, you just can't see it clearly from where you're standing. In the one hour we'll start unpacking it with you, working through it together so that you leave with clarity on exactly what to do next.

The Strategy Session


Fresh eyes on your business in half a day. What's working, what isn't, what to change. Written summary included.

4 hours · In person

Written summary + actions

£950

One off

Something needs to change. You can feel it. But when you're inside your own business every day, it's almost impossible to see what it actually is. Half a day together - either in a neutral space or on site at your business - to get properly under the hood. We'll look at what's working, what isn't, where the gaps are, where the opportunities are. You leave with a clear picture and at least 3 areas you can action straight away.

The Sprint

 

Concentrated outside thinking on your business. Fast, focused, high output. Enough space to implement, enough intensity to shift things.

4 x 60 min calls · Virtual
WhatsApp + email support throughout

£1500

6 week sprint

This intensive six week sprint starts by getting clear on where you are and where you need to get to. Then we build the plan for you to work through - four focused calls with support in between every step of the way. Fast enough to create real momentum, spaced enough that you can actually implement between sessions. By the end you'll have moved further than most founders move in six months.

A strategic partner in your corner on an ongoing basis. Monthly calls, weekly check-ins, someone who knows your business properly.

MOST POPULAR PLAN

This is for founders who are serious about growth and want consistent outside thinking as they build. You start with an onboarding deep dive so I understand your business blockers, challenges and goals properly. Then monthly 1:1 calls to work through strategy, decisions and progress - plus weekly check-ins for everything that comes up in between. I get to know your business intimately, not just the headline version. A co-CEO in your corner, month in, month out

Brand & Business Consultancy                                                     

 

Senior strategic support for brands with a specific challenge or opportunity.

 

Every project scoped individually

POA

Some briefs don't fit a standard offer. A brand looking at expansion. A business repositioning for a new audience. An organisation navigating a complex next chapter.
For projects like these, we work at the brand and business level - bringing senior strategic thinking to whatever you're facing. We start by understanding the brief properly, then scope the work together so the support is exactly right. Get in touch and tell me about the project. I'll come back to you with a clear view on how we can help.

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."

Laura, Lula's Patties

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.
