About Us: Where "Started From Scratch" Really Means Something!

Ever wonder what happens when you mix a passion for helping businesses grow with over two decades of hands-on experience across diverse industries? Well, you get Started From Scratch! Founded in London in 2013 by the one and only Nicola Lewis, our journey began with a simple yet powerful idea: to provide businesses with the strategic guidance and marketing firepower they need to not just exist, but truly thrive.

Nicola isn't your typical behind-the-desk guru. Think of her as a seasoned navigator, having charted courses through the dynamic worlds of real estate, finance, and even the delightful realm of fine cheese operations (yes, you read that right!). This eclectic background isn't just quirky; it's our secret sauce. It means we bring a uniquely broad perspective to the table, understanding the nuts and bolts of various business models and the universal need for smart, effective strategies.

For over 12 years, Nicola has been the driving force, and let us tell you, she doesn't just talk the talk – she walks the walk. There's genuinely nothing she hasn't rolled up her sleeves and done. Her work ethic is truly epic, her attitude is second to none, and she'll always tell it to you straight. Forget the fluff; for Nicola, it's all about one thing: your business making a profit and scaling like never before.

We're passionate about leveraging the latest tools and trends – think Shopify Plus, Klaviyo wizardry, and the ever-evolving landscape of social media and creator marketing (we're even Meta Business Partners!). But at our core, we believe in the power of genuine connection, clear communication, and a good dose of strategic thinking.

So, whether you're a budding entrepreneur just starting out or an established business looking to reach new heights, we're here to be your trusted partner. With Nicola at the helm, you can be sure you're getting no-nonsense guidance and a relentless dedication to your success. Let's build something amazing, together, from the ground up – and straight to the bank!
