Personal mentoring and 1:1 business support for only £39.99 per month

Our story

It started with two ideas

From the beginning, we've had one goal:

To bring amazing futures to everyday people (and their families) by enabling their financial freedom

We LOVE being self employed – and the benefits for us and our families have been – and continue to be endless.  We desperately want to help as many people as possible to have what we have.  To create a legacy of small businesses built by incredibly strong and brave and determined people.

We believe starting or growing a business shouldn’t depend on who you know or where you come from. Our mission is to make business support accessible AND affordable to anyone willing to learn and put in the work.

And that’s why we created a community of business advice, knowledge, and business mentor support that’s more accessible to help more people find financial freedom and build their own amazing future.

Why we mentor

Over the years, we’ve spoken to hundreds of business owners. People often knew what they wanted to achieve. They just weren’t sure what to do next. And that’s why mentoring is a fundamental part of The Hub.

Helping more people build businesses that create freedom

I started my first business when my eldest daughter was just nine months old because I wanted a different future for my family. What began with two laptops and a lot of determination grew into several businesses, each teaching me something new about building, adapting and persevering.

Over the years, I’ve worked alongside hundreds of business owners through my consultancy, helping people turn ideas into businesses and businesses into something more sustainable. One thing became clear: many people don’t lack ability. They just don’t have the right support at the right time.

Running my own businesses has given me opportunities I never imagined. I’d like more people to have that chance too.

Running a business changed my life. I want more people to have the opportunity to experience that for themselves.

Making business knowledge easier to understand and easier to access

I’ve always enjoyed solving problems and making complicated things simpler. Whether it’s marketing, websites, technology or business systems, I like helping people understand essential parts of marketing a business.

Growing up, I didn’t have easy access to business knowledge or opportunities, so much of what I’ve learnt has come from figuring things out myself. As someone who is neurodivergent, I also know that people learn in different ways.

That’s why making business knowledge practical, clear and accessible is so important to me.

More people could start a small business if they had the right knowledge, tools and support behind them.

Why we do this

Business changes lives.

We’ve seen people start businesses after redundancy, alongside full-time jobs, during maternity leave and after retirement. We’ve also seen people rebuild after setbacks and discover opportunities they never thought were possible.

Everyone’s journey is different, but having the right support at the right time can make all the difference.
