A 30-minute call and a written plan, built around your idea. So you decide with structure — not just hope.
Two things. The conversation, and the document that comes from it.
Live, video or phone, just you and the founder. You bring your idea, your doubts, the half-formed thinking. You get honest answers and the structure to turn them into a plan.
A document built around what you discussed — what's strong, what's risky, what to charge, who would buy it, what setup it needs, and the order to do it in. Yours to keep and revisit.
Four sections are in every plan. Three more are added only where your situation calls for them.
Is the business actually viable? Demand, competition, realistic ceiling.
What to charge, why, and what that means for your hours and income.
Everything that needs doing before you can legally and credibly trade, in order.
Whether to commit, hold off, pivot, or build something different.
A clear picture of your customer, where they are, and what they want.
What to focus on, what to ignore, and what success looks like by day 30.
Things specific to your situation that could trip you up — addressed before they do.

People come to My Self-Employment Plan (MSEP) at different points. Some with a clear idea they want pressure-tested, others with a vague sense that something needs to change.
Every call and every plan is researched, written and delivered personally by Nathan — founder of StartSorted, from a background in sales and commercial management. Not a junior, not an outsourced team. If you buy the plan, you're paying for well over an hour of undivided attention on your specific situation — 30 minutes live on the call, and at least as long again writing your plan afterwards.
He has helped owners build more than 20 businesses that remain active across the North of England — and seen the ones that didn't work, and why: promising ideas undone by unclear numbers and weak setups.
"My approach is practical rather than motivational. I look at the numbers, the market, the setup required and the gaps that could make an idea harder to sustain than it first appears.
You will not simply be told to 'go for it.' You will receive an honest view of what looks viable, what needs changing and what your next move should be."
Everything else, in one place.
A £95 plan won't make the decision for you. But it will give you the structure to make it properly — and the honest second opinion most people never get before they commit.
