One hour. Your business. Practical support.
A Power Hour is a one-to-one, 60-minute coaching session, priced at £120, built entirely around you and what's slowing your business down.
I'm Sarah. I help sole traders and small business owners in Derby and across the UK work through the things that are keeping them stuck, without jargon or judgement.
No fixed curriculum. Just focused time on the challenge that matters to you.
Choose your focus
Choose the area closest to your challenge. I'll tailor the hour to your starting point and the task you need help with.
Setting up for the first time, moving from spreadsheets or stuck with your software? I'll work with your platform and your figures.
We can focus on reconciliations, reporting or invoicing, so you're working through a real problem rather than a generic example.
A focused introduction to bidding, tailored to your business and the opportunities you're chasing. We can cover getting started, building your bid library, finding live opportunities or improving answers to quality questions.
For broader support, explore Bids and Tenders. For the full picture, try my half-day Bidding for Beginners course.
Hands-on help with the Microsoft tools you use every day. We can build a working Excel spreadsheet, format a professional Word document or set up Outlook to work for you instead of against you.
I'll focus on the exact task or skill you need, so the learning is useful straight away.
For the inbox that's taken over, or files scattered across desktops, downloads and drives. This is a practical, judgement-free reset.
We'll work through your inbox or folder structure together and build a simple system you can actually keep up.
Built around you
Before we start, you'll tell me exactly where you're stuck so I can prepare properly. You don't need to know the technical name for the problem. Just tell me what you're trying to do and what's getting in the way.
I'll help you work through it with practical, working solutions. The aim is to get you moving again, not leave you with more theory to decipher.
A useful starting point
Think of one task you'd like to feel more confident handling. A clear priority helps us make the most of your hour together.
A straightforward approach
Let me know which area you need help with and what you'd like to tackle. I'll use that to tailor the session.
We'll spend the hour on your task, your questions and practical ways to move forward.
Take what we've worked through back into your day-to-day business, with a clearer idea of what to do next.
Make the hour count
You don't need to tidy everything up before asking for help. A real example gives us a useful place to start.
Experienced, practical support
I'm Sarah Ingleby, the person behind Smallbizbod. I bring 30+ years in business support and 10+ years winning bids to the challenges we work through together.
I'm Xero and Sage certified, and an award finalist in 2024 and 2025. My approach is warm, straightforward and focused on what will actually help your business.
