About Business Steps

Welcome to the About Us section of our site! We’re glad you’re here – honestly!

You’re wondering “How do you start doing something despite having plenty of work to keep you occupied for at least 25 (yes, twenty-five!) hours A DAY?”

Here’s the answer

It all started at our casual Monday to Friday, 9 am – 5 pm work. Andy and I were working at the time in business consulting here in our lovely capital of London, and Sue together with Elena, for a multinational corporation having offices all over the globe – USA mostly, but UK & Europe too.

We met in 2008 when I was consulting one of Sue’s projects, and it happened to be a great time working together. For a few good years, we were talking about “doing something to put our expertise in one place” to advise and navigate both newbies and experienced people to right solutions in business, start-up, finance & crowdfunding, software and accounting.

It took a while, I must admit. However, in 2017 we decided to start Business Steps as the cornerstone project for our little group of industry enthusiasts. Every one of us having different experiences can add some small and big business steps, for others to follow. We love that people, almost from day one, started messaging us with direct questions regarding the articles we have published. We adore answering the questions and helping you to find the right solutions – I mean it!

What can you expect from our content?

First of all, we will publish only valuable content (and by valuable, I mean you won’t find it elsewhere) – no cheesy “paid for” articles from all over the world.

Secondly, the advice you’ll find on Business Steps is just a piece of information based on personal experience and circumstances. Sort of, one person’s point of view. Therefore, please, do not take it for granted! We cannot promise that if you follow proposed steps, you will suddenly become as rich as Bill (~bloody~) Gates or as influential as George Soros. It could happen, though! Don’t get me wrong, but you know: Hard, sometimes hardcore, work, right? 😉

Last, but not least – external links to sources will be provided, wherever possible, so if you’re interested in the topic, and want to get to the bottom of the story, follow them – you’ll have your questions answered there in far more details.

The work we do here is “Pro Publico Bono”, so if you think you can help us with the site, promotion or whatever you think needs doing – do come forward! Do not hesitate to let us know – we’re certainly open-minded and looking for decent advice too.

Finally, here are your writers and a few words about each of them, including myself:
