Two routes to market
Two ways in. One way forward.
The real difference is who holds the stock. The team, the channels and the goal stay the same.

- Account health, stock planning and support
- Seasonal content and promotions

Track record
Two routes. Same goal: growth.

FAQ
Questions brands ask us.
Short answers to what comes up most on a first call. If yours isn't here, ask us directly.
Which route is right for us?
If you want to keep your stock and accounts, Managed Growth fits. If you'd rather sell to one partner who runs the market, Distribution. Not sure? Start with Managed Growth and decide once the numbers are in.
Do we need a UK or EU VAT number?
For Managed Growth, yes, because you sell on your own account, and we'll introduce a VAT agent. For Distribution, no. We import the stock and sell it ourselves.
How does Managed Growth work commercially?
A flat monthly fee plus a share of the sales growth we create. There's a minimum term so the launch has time to work, then it rolls monthly. Ad spend stays with you.
How does Distribution work commercially?
We buy your stock outright through wholesale purchase orders on agreed trade terms. There's no management fee, and we fund the marketing.
Can we move from Managed Growth to Distribution?
Yes. At the month six review we look at the numbers together. When they prove the market, we can move to buying your stock.
We already work with an agency. Can we switch?
Yes. We take over your accounts, campaigns and content with a planned handover, so nothing stops selling while it changes hands.
Is it only beauty?
Beauty is where we started and where most of our retail relationships sit. Managed Growth is open to food, drink and other consumer brands, and we assess Distribution brand by brand.
Which channels do you cover?
Amazon across the UK and Europe first, then other European marketplaces and TikTok Shop UK, added one at a time when the numbers support it.
Who will we actually work with?
The founders. We keep a small roster, so you deal directly with the people doing the work.
How do you report on performance?
Weekly reporting, a monthly review call, and progress reviews at month three and month six against KPIs we agree at the start.
What happens on the first call?
We look at where you sell today, your margins and where you want to grow, then tell you honestly which route fits, if either does. There's no obligation.
Still deciding? Tell us where you sell today and we'll recommend a route.
