Not sure where to start?
Use our free Business Planning Tool before your consultation — it takes about 10 minutes and gives us a real starting point to work from together, rather than starting from a blank page on the call.

Whether you're still deciding if starting a business is right for you, just finished a training course, or already trading and looking for your first customers, we tailor our support to where you actually are — not a fixed package that assumes everyone starts in the same place. Meet the two of us behind My Business Buddies on our About page.
How We Work With You
Free Consultation
A no-pressure, 30-minute call to talk through your idea, your challenges, and where you're stuck.
1-Hour Business Audit
A deeper look at your business or idea: the competition, what it takes to compete, and whether your numbers stack up.
1-1 Mentoring
Ongoing support with budgeting, pricing, winning customers and staying on top of your finances.
Marketing Services
Practical help establishing your digital footprint — website, social presence, and getting found.
What We Help You With
Business Planning: Budgets & Pricing
Working out what it costs to run your business, and pricing so it pays you properly.
Getting & Keeping Customers
Low-jargon guidance on finding your first customers and keeping them coming back.
Customer Management & Bookings
Simple systems so bookings and follow-ups don't rely on you remembering everything.
Managing Finances
Straightforward budgeting so you can see the impact of a pricing or cost change before it happens.
Who We Work With
We work with first-time entrepreneurs and early-stage service business owners across the UK — including those who've just completed training in fields like aesthetics, clinical procedures (ear wax removal, skin tag and milia removal), wellbeing therapies, fitness, beauty, pet care, and trades. If your business isn't listed, get in touch anyway — this isn't exhaustive.
