Your energy is valuable. Use it where it matters.
Mobility difficulties, chronic pain, fatigue and fluctuating energy can make the practical side of running a business much harder.
Limited energy does not mean limited ambition.
You want to work, earn a living and remain independent. Running your own business may give you more control over your working hours, location and workload.
It can also mean managing emails, accounts, invoices, forms, customers, websites and deadlines alongside your actual work.
We help with the practical business tasks and adapt the way we work around your mobility, pain, fatigue and changing energy levels.
Running a business can demand more than the work itself
Experiences vary from person to person and can also change from one day to another.
Travel and access
Travelling to meetings, reaching inaccessible buildings or arranging suitable transport can use significant time and energy.
Long meetings
Sitting, concentrating or remaining in one position for a long conversation may become uncomfortable or tiring.
Fluctuating energy
A task that feels manageable one day may become unrealistic when pain, fatigue or another symptom increases.
Paperwork and forms
Physical documents, repetitive typing and long administrative tasks may create additional strain.
Several tasks at once
Business administration can take energy away from the paid work, creative work or customer service that only you can provide.
Fixed schedules
Rigid appointments and deadlines may not reflect the reality of a fluctuating health condition.
We adapt the service around your needs
We agree a practical way of working and change it when your needs or circumstances change.
Remote-first meetings
Phone and video meetings can remove unnecessary travel, parking and accessibility difficulties.
Shorter sessions
A long meeting can be split into smaller conversations, with time to rest and consider the information.
Flexible scheduling
We aim to offer suitable appointment times and rearrange meetings when a difficult day makes this necessary.
Breaks without pressure
Meetings can pause, continue later or move to another communication method.
Asynchronous communication
Send voice notes, video notes, photographs or emails when you have the energy, rather than waiting for a scheduled meeting.
Clear priorities
We help separate essential tasks from the work that can safely wait until another day.
A difficult day does not mean you are unreliable.
Pain, fatigue and mobility can change without much warning. You may need to shorten a meeting, move it online, rearrange it or return to a task later.
We do not assume that changing a plan reflects a lack of commitment to your work or business.
Save your energy for the work that needs you
Our team can help with time-consuming business tasks that may otherwise compete with your main work.
Talk through an idea or challenge remotely, without needing to prepare a formal presentation.
Break the setup process into smaller, clearly explained stages.
Help keep invoices, records and financial administration organised.
Work through forms together and help gather the required information.
Explain what you need through calls, notes and examples while we manage the technical work.
Help prepare emails, quotations, letters and clear professional responses.
Turn a large workload into clear priorities and manageable next actions.
Continue helping with practical business tasks as your workload and energy change.
One main contact, with a wider team behind them.
You may use several Another Brilliant Idea services, with different specialists helping behind the scenes.
Where possible, we give you one main point of contact who understands the overall work and communicates with the wider team.
The same prices. A more flexible service.
A client needing reasonable adjustments remains a valued paying client.
We do not provide our work for free. However, remote meetings, shorter sessions, clear summaries, flexible communication and reasonable rearrangements are part of providing a thoughtful service.
Could Access to Work help?
Access to Work may provide funding for practical support, specialist equipment, travel assistance or other help when a disability or health condition creates barriers to employment or self-employment.
Business support, not medical care
Another Brilliant Idea provides business, communication and administrative support. We do not provide medical treatment, personal care or clinical advice, and our services do not replace support from healthcare professionals.
Your business should work around your life. Not against it.
