Research brief
From $149 incl. GST
Typical jobs $149–$299
A cited 2–5 page brief on the topic you name — competitors, suppliers, regulations, or a market scan. Sources included. One revision round.
Australian small business service desk
Extra hands for the jobs you keep putting off.
Describe the work. We quote a fixed price. You pay. We deliver — research, ops, content, or a light web fix for your small business.
Who it’s for
Built for Australian solopreneurs and micro-businesses (roughly 1–10 people) who need real deliverables without hiring staff.
If you’re drowning in research, messy admin, content drafts, or a small website tweak — and you’d rather pay for a finished job than fiddle with tools — you’re in the right place.
Not for personal to-do lists, homework, or “unlimited chat” retainers. We’re a service desk, not a chatbot.
Services
Fixed-price packs. Prices shown from, incl. GST.
Ops pack
From $99 incl. GST
Typical jobs $99–$199
Turn a messy ask into usable tools: checklists, email drafts, and simple trackers (CSV, Sheets, or PDF). Ready to run, not another brainstorm.
Content batch
From $129 incl. GST
Typical jobs $129–$249
For example: four social posts plus one webpage or FAQ draft from your notes. Plain Australian English. One revision round.
Light web fix
From $99 incl. GST
Scoped tweaks only
Scoped HTML, CSS, or copy tweaks on a small existing site. Not a full rebuild in this package — we’ll say so if you need more.
Custom quote
Usually $200–$800 for first jobs
Anything else that fits. We reply with scope within about 15 minutes of a clear brief, then a fixed price. Work starts after payment (or an agreed deposit on larger jobs).
