Start Ups and Social Entrepreneurs
A social entrepreneur is someone interested in starting a business for the greater social good and not just in pursuit of profit.
Whether you need to talk through a new business idea or develop a concept, we can help. Our bespoke 1:1 business programme covers the fundamentals: purpose, finance, marketing, delivery, service offer and planning. You can also take advantage of our weekly group coaching sessions and the Multi-Disciplinary Safeguarding Hub.
We can provide coaching and mentoring with specialist advice and support for specific areas of business development. We’ll support you every step of the way to get up and running the right way, clearly defining your purpose and embedding sustainable practices into your processes at the start.
Recurring challenges for startups include:
- Understanding the best status for your company (CIC Community Interest Company, Charity, Limited, etc)

- Not being clear about mission vision and purpose
- Understanding finances
- Having the right policies and guidance in place for compliance to start your business

One start-up we helped was failing. Cashflow was sporadic and money management wasn’t great. Our client went from 4 months in arrears, not being able to pay the rent to 110k turnover in only 8 months. See more case studies here.
With the use of Toni’s BLEND model we can identify and unlock those areas for further development to set you on your way.
“Due to her strategic expertise and guidance, within one week of me implementing the plan mapped out by Toni, my business soared, and I am so grateful! I highly recommend Toni McLelland MSc! She has literally helped me scale my business AND a high ROI was achieved within the first month of hiring her! Definitely worth the investment.”
