Administrative barriers preventing you from focusing on and achieving your goals?

Our mission is to provide the processes and support that solopreneurs, small business owners and charity directors need to achieve their ambitions.

  • Outsource the admin you don’t have time or enthusiasm for to people who do.

  • Delegate the work you’re looking to get off your task list to people who specialise in it.

  • Bring in dedicated resource to support you with a specific project or one-off / ad-hoc task.

If that sounds like something you’re looking for…

Whether you’re setting up, starting up or scaling up, our projects and ongoing support packages provide the operational processes and business support you need to achieve your goals.

Our Services

Business Set Up

Are you a sole trader ready to take the next step with your business but not really sure where to start?

Whether you’re becoming a Ltd company, or taking on your first employees, By Your Side can support you through the transition, helping to ensure you’re set up correctly and compliantly from day one.

Small Business Support

You have to wear a lot of hats when you run a small business. But you can only wear one at a time and some of them you’re really not suited to. Which is where we come in.

By Your Side can take the business, finance and HR admin tasks off you, freeing you up to focus on the tasks that only you can do.

Charity Support

Let's face it, you didn't start your charity to get bogged down in endless admin. You started it to achieve your mission and make a difference.

Let By Your Side get your policies, procedures, and processes firmly in place, giving you the time and headspace to focus on what truly matters.

HEAR FROM OUR HAPPY CLIENTS

  • “As the owner of JRW Build & Design, I was overwhelmed with keeping up with my accounts, keeping on top of chasing for invoices and receipts so I can claim VAT in a timely manner. I also wanted to reach out to new clients but didn’t have the time. Michelle & Lynne solved both problems! They took over my bank reconciliations and accounts inbox management, giving me peace of mind, and expertly managed a mailing campaign that generated new leads and significantly increased JRW Build & Design’s visibility. Their services have been invaluable to my business.”
