UK's  Bespoke Business Consultancy

Comprehensive Business Development for Ambitious Entrepreneurs

Start Up Now represents the evolution of business consultancy in the United Kingdom. Founded by determined, goal oriented entrepreneur Luisa Rochian, we recognised that ambitious business builders deserve more than fragmented advice and generic solutions. Our mission is simple yet profound: to provide comprehensive, bespoke business development services that guarantee measurable success.

Our Founding Story

The inspiration for Start Up Now emerged from a critical observation: whilst the UK boasts one of the world's most dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystems, success rates remain disappointingly low. Research consistently shows that 60% of new businesses fail within the first three years, not due to lack of ambition or market opportunity, but because of inadequate business development support.

Traditional business support falls into three categories, each with significant limitations:

Government programmes offer broad guidance but lack personalisation and accountability

Large consultancy firms focus on established corporations, often ignoring smaller enterprises

Individual advisors provide personal attention but lack comprehensive expertise across all business disciplines

Start Up Now was created to bridge this gap, offering the personalisation of individual consulting with the comprehensive expertise of large firms, whilst maintaining the accountability and results focus that both traditional approaches often lack.
