Welcome

I'm Amy Guy. Founder to founder.

I've spent over 13 years learning what it takes to turn an idea into a business, and a business into something much bigger. My work has also been featured on Sky News and ITV.

Now I work privately with a small number of founders who want to do the same.

Apply to work with me

Salons and academies

Built a salon chain and launched two training academies.

Brands and online businesses

Led a cosmetics brand and developed online businesses, including The Nail Tech Org.

Teams and launches

Built teams and launched multiple products and services across bricks-and-mortar, education, e-commerce and community.

What we can work on

You've got the foundations. What do you want to build on them?

You might already know exactly where you want to take your business. Or you might know there's a bigger opportunity, but you're not quite sure what that looks like yet. Either way, these are the sorts of things we can work on together.

01

Turn what you know into something that sells.

You've built expertise, a reputation or an audience. How could you turn that into additional revenue?

We can explore new offers, education programmes, digital products, memberships and other business models that make sense for your customers. From deciding what to create and how to price it, to planning how you'll take it to market.

02

Build a brand people want to be part of.

You don't just want people to discover your business. You want them to trust it, recommend it and keep coming back.

We'll look at your positioning, messaging, customer experience and how you could build a genuinely loyal community around what you do.

03

Launch your next big thing properly.

You've got an idea you're excited about. But what happens between having the idea and making the sales?

We'll work through your offer, audience, launch strategy, marketing, sales process and the numbers behind it. I'll share relevant frameworks and examples from launches I've run so you can build a plan for yours.

04

Build a team that helps your business grow.

Maybe you've reached the point where you're doing too much yourself.

We'll look at what you should still own, what you could delegate, who you might need to hire and how to introduce the systems and accountability that allow other people to take responsibility.

05

Take your business beyond its current model.

Another location. A training academy. A new product line. A different market. A new way of generating revenue.

We'll look at the opportunity, the commercial realities, what it would take to make it work and whether it's the right next move for your business.

We won't try to do everything.

We'll identify the areas with the greatest potential for your business and focus our time where it can make the biggest difference.

The Founder Partnership

Three months of private strategic and practical support.

This is a working partnership.

I'll help you see the bigger picture, make important decisions and work through how to bring those decisions to life. And where I've done something relevant in my own businesses, I'll show you how I approached it - the methods, tools, systems, decisions and lessons - so you can apply what makes sense to yours.

Month 01

Identify the Opportunity

Where are you now, and where is the biggest potential?

We start with a proper review of your business. Your offers, customers, revenue streams, positioning, team, operations and goals. We'll look at what's working, what's limiting growth and where there might be opportunities to build something more valuable.

By the end of month one
  • Your biggest growth opportunities are identified.
  • We've agreed your three most important priorities.
  • You have a clear 90-day direction and implementation plan.
Month 02

Build the Plan, Put It to Work

How are we going to make it happen?

Now we focus on the opportunities we've identified. That might mean developing a new offer, planning a launch, improving your business model, building your team or creating a stronger community strategy. I'll bring relevant experience, frameworks and practical examples from my businesses.

By the end of month two
  • Your main growth priority is in development or implementation.
  • You have the relevant frameworks and systems to support it.
  • We've reviewed your progress and worked through any obstacles.
Month 03

Review, Refine, Move Forward

What's working, what needs changing and what comes next?

We'll review what's been implemented, what we've learnt and what the results are telling us. We'll identify what needs improving, what could be scaled and what you should focus on next.

By the end of month three
  • You understand what's progressed and what still needs work.
  • You have clear recommendations for the next stage.
  • You have a focused plan for the following 90 days.

The structure stays consistent. What we work on within it is tailored to your business.

What's included

Here's what you get.

A private business deep dive

One 90-minute session to review your business, identify opportunities and set our direction.

Two private sessions every month

One focused on strategic decisions and one focused on practical implementation, reviewing plans and working through challenges.

Access to my founder playbook

Relevant frameworks, templates, methods, software recommendations and examples I've used in my own businesses.

Support between sessions

Your 90-day business roadmap

A shared space for priorities, decisions, action points, resources and progress.

My experience, applied to your business

Investment

£3,000 per month

Three-month partnership. £9,000 total investment, payable in monthly instalments. I only work with a small number of founders privately so I can give each business the time and attention it deserves.

Apply for the Founder Partnership

Applications are reviewed individually to make sure I can genuinely help with what you're looking to achieve.

The Founder Intensive

One business challenge. One focused session.

For established salon owners, educators and beauty business owners.

If you've got one specific decision, opportunity or challenge you'd like my help with, we can spend 90 minutes working through it together. Whether that's expanding your salon, launching an academy, developing a new offer or building a team, we'll look at your options and establish the most practical next steps.

  • Pre-session business questionnaire.
  • 90-minute private strategy session.
  • Written recommendations and action plan.

Who is this for?

The Founder Partnership is designed for you if:

  • You already have an established business, proven offer or engaged audience.
  • You want to grow beyond your current business model or stage.
  • You're looking for experienced strategic guidance alongside practical methods and tools.
  • You have the time, resources or team capacity to act on what we work through.
  • You're open to being challenged and making changes.

You don't need to be in the beauty industry. This isn't designed for brand-new business owners or founders looking for someone to manage their business on their behalf.

Ready when you are

Ready to see what's possible with what you've built?

You don't need another hundred ideas. You need to know which ones are worth your time, how to turn them into a commercially viable plan and what it takes to make them happen. That's what I'd love to help you with.

If you've built something with potential and you're ready to take it further, let's talk.
