Stuart Ashley – Support Options
What I offer
Running a business can feel overwhelming, especially in the early years — too many ideas, not enough clarity, and no one to bounce things off. That’s where I come in.
Below you’ll find a simple, transparent list of the ways we can work together. Whether you need weekly support, a one‑off clarity boost, longer‑term guidance, or help thinking through a specific project, there’s an option designed to meet you where you are. Everything I offer is built around conversation, clarity, and practical support — helping you think straighter, feel lighter, and move forward with confidence.
Take a look at the options below and choose what feels right for you. Please get in touch to discuss the best option for you and to book a free meeting.

Option 5
Why Work
With Me?
I’m here for people building their businesses from scratch and early‑stage founders — including those who are starting with nothing more than an idea and want help turning it into something real. Whether you’re shaping your first offer, exploring a new direction, or trying to make sense of everything, I help you think clearly and move forward with confidence. Choosing someone to support you and your business is personal. You’re not just looking for skills — you’re looking for someone who listens, understands, and genuinely cares about helping you make progress. That’s the space I work in.
I’m not here to overwhelm you with jargon or complicated frameworks. I’m here to sit beside you, help you work things through, and make decisions that feel right for you. My approach is calm, practical, and human — no pressure, no judgement, just honest support from someone with over 20 years of self employed experience and a deep understanding of what it takes to build something from the ground up. People work with me because they want a thinking partner, not a consultant who talks at them. Someone who brings ideas, clarity, and reassurance. Someone who helps them feel lighter, more confident, and more capable after every conversation. If you’re looking for grounded support, real connection, and a safe space to explore your next steps — whether you’re nurturing a brand new idea or growing an early stage business — you’ll feel right at home here.

*Programme Pricing & Payment Structure
All programmes are split into three predictable payments to keep things simple, transparent, and easy to plan for. The first payment is made on the day of booking to secure your place. Subsequent invoices are issued on fixed dates with a 14‑day payment window.
Why Payments Are Structured This Way
This approach keeps the programme fair and balanced for both sides:
-
You’re never asked to pay too far ahead
-
Payments are spaced out at natural points in the journey
-
The structure is predictable and easy to plan around
-
It ensures the time and capacity you need are fully reserved
Non‑Payment Policy
To keep the programme running smoothly:
If an invoice becomes more than 14 days overdue, all sessions and work will be paused until payment is received.
This avoids any awkwardness and ensures the programme remains sustainable and fair for both of us.
