Build it. Own it. Keep more of it.
Practical, honest lessons for people who run UK businesses. How to pay yourself properly, hire without the expensive mistakes, and build something you actually own.
The free owner’s toolkit
Four tools I actually use: an SPV checklist, a group structure map, a 13-week cashflow tracker and a director’s loan template.
Three ways I can help
The free toolkit
The checklists and templates I wish I’d had when I started. Yours for an email address.
Get the toolkit →The weekly email
One practical lesson a week on money, hiring and structure. Short enough to read with a coffee.
Join the list →The Founder Circle
A small group of founders meeting twice a month for honest conversations and real numbers. Opening in 2027.
Join the waitlist →I started in a cupboard under the stairs.
Five feet by ten, a sheet of plywood for a desk and a legal bill from my old employer. Ten years later, AJ Group is a specialist recruitment business working across the UK, Ireland and Europe.
I got plenty wrong along the way. The Owner’s Edge is where I write it down, so you can skip the expensive bits.
