You don't need 5 people to launch a business
Starting a business usually means hiring a website designer, sorting a Google listing, setting up business email, ordering a card, and picking a social platform, all separately. Here's what happens when it launches together instead.
Most people starting a business end up hiring five different people for five different jobs: a website designer, someone to sort the Google listing, another for business email, a print shop for a business card, and whoever handles the social media account. Five logins, five invoices, and weeks of chasing each one before the business has even made its first sale.
That's the assumption I wanted to push back on in this video. None of that needs to happen separately.
What launching together actually looks like
The New Business Starter Pack bundles the seven things a new business needs into one build, live on the same day, for one price:
- A proper website, up to 3 pages, built around what the business actually does
- A Google Business Profile, set up correctly so it shows up on search and maps from day one
- Automated replies, so new enquiries get answered the second they land
- Free hosting for the first 3 months
- A real business email address, not a free Gmail account
- A metal NFC and QR business card with the logo on it
- One social media account, ready to post
Why bundling it changes the outcome, not just the admin
The point isn't just convenience. When a website, a Google listing, an email address, and a business card get built by five different people on five different timelines, they rarely land as one coherent thing. The website goes live before the Google listing is claimed. The business card points to an email address that isn't set up yet. Nothing quite lines up on day one.
Building it as one job means it lines up: same person, same timeline, same understanding of what the business does, carried through every piece.
What it costs and how long it takes
The whole pack is £1,000, split into a £500 deposit and £500 on completion, typically live in 10 to 14 working days. After the first 3 months, hosting moves to a flat £40 a month, and that's the only ongoing cost.
Full details are on the New Business Starter Pack page.
Frequently asked questions
Is £1,000 really everything for a new business launch?
Yes. The New Business Starter Pack covers the website, Google Business Profile, automated customer email, business email address, a Tapilink NFC business card, and one social media account, plus the first 3 months of hosting, for £1,000 total, split into a £500 deposit and £500 on completion.
What happens after the free hosting period?
Hosting moves to a flat £40 a month after the first 3 months. That's the only ongoing cost, with no separate renewal fee for the business email, card, or social account.
How long does it take to launch?
Typically 10 to 14 working days. Everything launches together as one build rather than piecemeal over weeks while you chase different suppliers.
Do I need to already have a business name or domain sorted?
No. If you don't have one yet, that gets sorted as part of setting everything up. Just come with an idea of what you want your business to be called.
