Category: Start-Up

The Starting Point

James Hollis was an experienced PAYE mechanic with the skills and confidence to work independently — but no clear roadmap for starting his own business.

He wanted to launch a mobile mechanic service covering the West Midlands, but needed support with:

  • Structuring the business properly

  • Registering the right legal setup

  • Creating a credible brand from day one

  • Building a professional online presence

  • Funding the start-up costs to launch properly

He had the trade expertise.
He needed the business foundations.

The Challenge

Starting a service business isn’t just about skill — it’s about structure, compliance, and the ability to launch with confidence.

Without:

  • A solid business plan

  • A limited company structure

  • MTD-compliant accounting systems

  • Professional branding

  • A website that builds trust

  • Start-up funding to invest in launch essentials

…James risked delaying his plans or launching without the right foundations.

Client Feedback

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
*"I used Carly and Rob to launch my mobile mechanics business while I was still working full-time. They guided me through the whole process and handled all the background work so I could focus on working and bringing in an income.

From start to finish, they were always on emails and phone calls answering every question I had. Without them, my business wouldn’t be operating at all — and they still continue to assist and advise me as my new business grows.

I would 100% recommend Launch Startup to anyone looking to start up and build a small business."*
