Implementation · not a workshop

Two real things, built into your business, handed over working.

We come in, work out where AI actually fits, and set up two use cases end to end. Your team gets trained, the documentation gets written, and it keeps running after we leave.

We've done this for our own businesses first

You know AI could help. You just don't know what to actually do with it.

You've dabbled, and nothing stuck

You've had a play with ChatGPT, maybe asked it to write an email or two. It was alright. But nothing about it changed how your business actually runs, and you quietly stopped using it.

You don't have time to figure it out yourself

You're already wearing too many hats. The idea of spending weekends watching tutorials, picking tools, and stitching things together is the opposite of what you need. You need someone to just do it with you.

You're not sure it'll work for a business like yours

Most of the AI talk online is for tech startups and content creators. You run a coworking space, a trades business, a hospitality venue, a local service. You need to see it work in your world before you'll trust it.

You don't want to waste £3k finding out

You've been sold to before. Tools you didn't use, consultants who left you with a deck and a problem. You want something concrete: built, handed over, running.

"I just need someone to show me what actually works for my kind of business."
What most owners tell us on the first call
What The SetUp actually is

What if someone just came in and built the thing properly?

The SetUp is the implementation engagement. Not a workshop, not a strategy doc, not a course. We come into your business, work out where AI fits, and build two specific use cases end to end. You're in the room while we do it.

We know it works because we've done it. When we sold our coworking space, we stayed on to make sure the new owners weren't drowning. We set up automations so the booking system talked to the door access through Salto KS. No staff needed on the door. The place runs itself in the background.

That's what implementation looks like versus advice. Something real, built into the business, still running after we've gone.

What you actually walk away with

Two use cases, fully working

Not prototypes, not demos. Two specific things in your business, built end to end, handed over running. The kind of thing that quietly saves hours every week without anyone having to think about it.

Hours back in your week

We pick use cases that target the tasks already eating your time. Chasing, repeating, formatting, following up. The ones you don't even notice are draining you until they're gone.

Your team trained to run it

Up to five people get trained on the use cases we build. In plain English. They'll know what it does, how to use it, and what to do when something looks off.

Documentation that doesn't gather dust

Every use case comes with documentation written for the people who'll actually use it, not for us. So it doesn't fall apart the moment we leave.

30 days of settling-in support

Things always surface in the first month. A bit of friction, a tweak, a question we didn't predict. You've got us for 30 days after delivery to sort it out properly.

How the process works from your side

1

Assess

We come in and look at the business properly. Where the time goes, where the friction is, where AI actually fits and where it doesn't. You'll end up with two use cases worth doing.

2

Build

We build the two use cases end to end, with you in the room. You see how it's made so you understand what's under the bonnet, not just the result.

3

Hand over

We train up to five of your team, leave you with documentation, and stay on for 30 days to help it bed in. By the end, it's yours and it's running.

Built with you, handed over running, supported for 30 days after.

This probably isn't for you if

You want someone to come in and do it all without your involvement. This works best when the business owner is in the room, not waiting for a report.

You're not sure what problem you're trying to solve yet. The SetUp is implementation, not exploration. The SetUp Session is the better starting point.

You're looking for a one-size solution across your whole business. Two use cases means two things done properly, not a surface-level sweep of everything.

Who's behind this

Mark and Louise Stevenson, founders of The SetUp Crew

We're Mark and Louise. We've spent over ten years building businesses together, including a coworking space we sold and a mental health app called Luma that runs almost entirely on AI tools. The SetUp came out of staying on at the coworking space after we sold it, building automations so the new owners weren't drowning. Booking system talking to door access through Salto KS, no staff needed on the door, the place running quietly in the background. That's the work we do for other businesses now. We're founders, not consultants. We've used this stuff to run real businesses, which is a very different thing to teaching it.

Questions you might have

£3k is a lot to spend on something I'm not sure will stick. How do I know it will?
Fair question, and the honest answer is the work itself. We don't leave you with a slide deck. We build two use cases end to end, train your team to run them, document them in plain English, and stay on for 30 days after delivery to make sure they bed in. The whole engagement is designed so it keeps working after we've gone.
I don't know enough about AI to know if this will work for my type of business. Is that a problem?
No. Most of the businesses we work with aren't in the AI conversation at all. Coworking, hospitality, trades, local services. The assessment at the start is exactly for this. We look at where your time actually goes and pick use cases that fit your business, not somebody else's. You don't need to know what's possible. That's our job.
What if we go through it and it doesn't save us the time you think it will?
We pick the two use cases together at the assessment stage, and we only commit to building ones we're confident will pay back. The 30 days of settling-in support afterwards is there for exactly this. If something isn't landing the way we expected, we sort it out before we walk away. You won't be left holding something that doesn't work.
Do we need to be technical to do this?
No. The whole point is we do the building. You and up to five of your team get trained on how to use what we've built, in plain English. If you can use email and a booking system, you can run what we set up.
How long does it take from start to finish?
Most SetUps run over a few weeks rather than months. We'll give you a clearer answer on the discovery call once we know what we're looking at, but it's designed to be quick enough that it doesn't drag and thorough enough that it sticks.

Two real things, built into your business, handed over working.

The first step is a conversation, not a contract. We'll talk through your business and whether The SetUp is the right fit.
