The problem (you’ve probably felt it)

You’re good at the work. The admin is what trips you up.

You send an invoice and hope. You quote a rate that felt right at the time, then wonder if you’ve undercharged. A new client emails and you rewrite the same reply from scratch. Onboarding is a scramble. Contracts feel intimidating, so you skip them and hope for the best.

None of this means you’re unprofessional. It means nobody handed you a simple starter kit for running a UK solo business. That’s what this is.

What’s included

Six practical markdown guides you can open in any text editor, Notion, Obsidian, Google Docs, or Word — plus a short README so you know where to start.

  • 1. Getting Paid in the UK

    A plain-English overview of simple card payments and invoices for UK freelancers. Tools and workflows to consider — not a hard sell for any one platform, and not legal or tax advice.

  • 2. Client Email Templates (8)

    Copy-paste emails for first reply, proposals, start dates, requesting info, delivery, chasing invoices, saying no politely, and asking for a referral.

  • 3. Rate Calculator

    A simple method for setting your day/hourly rate in GBP, with worked examples — not a promise about what the market will pay.

  • 4. Client Onboarding Checklist

    What to ask and confirm before work starts, so fewer surprises halfway through a project.

  • 5. Simple Contract Notes

    A checklist of what to agree in writing (scope, fees, payment terms, IP, and more). Not a solicitor-drafted contract — a prompt list for the conversations that matter.

  • 6. Weekly Ops Template

    A light weekly rhythm: money, pipeline, delivery, admin. Enough structure without turning freelancing into a corporate job.

Who it’s for

A good fit if you are

  • A UK freelancer or solopreneur (full-time or serious side hustle)
  • A service provider — writer, designer, developer, consultant, coach, marketer, and similar
  • In the first few years and want professional basics without reinventing them

Not for you if you want

  • Done-for-you freelancing or client outreach
  • Guaranteed income or “quit your job in 30 days” promises
  • Formal legal documents drafted by a solicitor
  • Personalised tax or accounting advice

Higher-touch · Async done-with-you

Need it built for you? UK Freelance Ops Setup — £499

If the £39 kit is DIY foundations, this is the personalised version: we fill in the worksheets, rewrite the emails in your voice, and review your payment setup — asynchronously, with Chloe’s light review. No calls required. No income guarantees.

£499 GBP · One-time · Async delivery · 7-day email support on deliverables

  • Personalised rate worksheet

    Filled from a short intake (target income, hours, costs, VAT status) so you leave with numbers you can actually use — not a blank spreadsheet.

  • Client email pack in your voice

    Customised from a short questionnaire (and optional sample emails you paste). Enquiry → proposal → kick-off → chases → polite no → referral ask.

  • Notion/markdown ops board

    Tailored to your service: pipeline, active work, invoices, weekly review. Delivered as markdown you can paste into Notion, Obsidian, or Docs.

  • Invoice / payment setup review

    One written review of how you bill and get paid today, with concrete fixes. Organisational only — not tax or legal advice.

  • 7-day async support

    Email questions about the deliverables for a week after you receive them. Clarifications and small tweaks — not ongoing coaching.

Included

  • Personalised assets from your intake
  • Target delivery 5–7 business days after complete intake
  • Markdown / Notion-ready files

Not included

  • Legal or tax advice
  • Finding you clients
  • Calls (unless optionally offered later)
  • Income or results guarantees

After payment you’ll get intake instructions by email address on the thank-you page. Prefer DIY? Get the £39 kit instead.

Honest disclaimer: This kit is for informational and organisational purposes only. It is not legal advice, tax advice, or financial advice. It is not a solicitor-drafted contract pack. It does not guarantee clients, income, or results. When you need formal advice, speak to a qualified professional. Use what helps; skip what doesn’t.

FAQ

Is this only for UK freelancers?

Yes — the payment and ops guidance is written for a UK context (GBP, common UK tools and habits). Email templates and checklists still travel well elsewhere, but the kit is aimed at UK solopreneurs.

Do I need any particular software?

No. Files are markdown (plain text). Open them anywhere. Convert to PDF or Docs if you prefer.

Will this replace my accountant or solicitor?

No. When you need formal advice, use a qualified professional. This kit helps you get organised and look professional day to day.

How do I get the files?

After PayPal payment you’ll be returned to a thank-you page with an immediate download link for the ZIP. Bookmark that page or save the file.

Can I get a refund?

Because this is an instant digital download, refunds are limited. If the files won’t open or there’s a technical issue, contact the seller within 7 days and we’ll sort it fairly.

Is there a community or coaching?

The £39 kit is self-serve by design. If you want personalised async help, see UK Freelance Ops Setup (£499) — done-with-you deliverables plus 7-day email support on those files. Still no community membership or income guarantees.

What’s the difference between £39 and £499?

£39 is a downloadable template pack you adapt yourself. £499 is async done-with-you: we fill the rate worksheet, rewrite emails in your voice, tailor an ops board, and review your invoice/payment setup from your intake answers.
