About Me
The Small Business Saviours!
Hi and welcome to our website. We are glad you've found us.
Ice Skating Elephants (ISE) works with small businesses, and start up's, to help ease the workload and pressure that comes with running your own business. We can provide a wide range of services which are tailored to your needs. There are no one size fits all packages here!
Our Services
As a small business owner you've taken on a lot.
Not only are you doing your job, whatever that may be, but you are now having to deal with a mine field of paperwork, phone calls, emails, social media pages and anything else that gets thrown at you. Some of which you will never have done before, some of which you will really dislike doing.
You find yourself struggling to keep all the balls in the air, after all you didn't ever learn to be a juggler!
Make a list of all the tasks that need doing.
It will be a long list.
Now cross off the tasks that you are an expert at.
Be honest.
Your task list will still be a long list.
Acknowledge that you are an expert in what you do. But you can't be an expert at everything, and even if you were you only have so many hours in a day.
You are stuck.
You want to grow your business but you don't have the time or expertise to do it all.
You don't have an office for a member of staff to work from.
You don't have the money to get an office or employ a member of staff.
Sounds depressing doesn't it?
Maybe it's feeling depressing too.
That's where we come in. To lift that weight off your shoulders.
We can take on as much or as little as you want, need or can afford.
We can even just give you advice and processes to make things easier for you.
We aren't experts in what you do, that's your job. But we understand running a business and everything that comes with it. By working with us, you can do what you're good at while we take on the rest.
Take the first step by sending us an email today.
We look forward to helping you juggle those balls.
Our Expertise
Our owner, Kirstie, has an NVQ in Business Administration and a HNC in Housing Services. She worked mainly for charities / not for profit companies, finally becoming Head of Development and Marketing before leaving due to poor health.
During her time away from paid work she had a family and, once the children started school, volunteered for smaller charities doing various tasks; fundraising, marketing, administration, volunteer management and policy writing.
In early 2019 she decided to use this experience to help owners of small, or start up, businesses to grow without overloading themselves. Ice Skating Elephants has grown from that idea.
Why choose us?
We sincerely want your business to work. Equally as sincerely we want you, the business owner, to be happy and healthy enough to see that happen. You can’t do that if you try to take on too much.
We won’t take on any client that we don’t believe in. We aren’t here just to take everyone’s money. We genuinely want to help people who want to succeed.
We are honest. We will tell you the truth however hard that may be for you to hear. If you want someone who will just tell you the fluffy stuff, you are in the wrong place.
We are cost effective. We work remotely so no huge overheads to pass on to you. We tailor to your needs so no unnecessary work to pay for. We invoice you weekly or monthly as you prefer. No staffing costs for you to cover, no time off to pay for, no losing work hours having to interview or train people.
