London-based · Remote and in-person support
Running a business is enough work. You don't have to do it all.
From inboxes and reports to projects and everyday business administration, we take care of the work that takes up your time — and help you find smarter ways to get it done.
Professional expertise. Without the full-time overhead.
Let's have a conversationExplore our servicesDoes this sound familiar?
Too much to do. Not quite enough time — or budget — to hire.
You need a report finished, an inbox brought under control, a project coordinated and someone to follow up on all those outstanding actions. But does that really mean hiring another full-time employee?
Perhaps you're a growing business that needs reliable hands-on support. Or you're an established organisation wondering why straightforward tasks still take so long.
We can help with both. Business Shift brings together experienced executive and business administration with practical ways to improve how work gets done.
It's not about replacing people. It's about giving them the time and tools to do their best work.
We look for repetitive tasks, unnecessary steps and information that gets lost between systems. Then we help simplify the work — using sensible digital tools and AI where they genuinely make a difference, with people firmly in control.
What we can take off your plate
Practical help for the work that needs doing.
You don't need a different supplier for every small task. Tell us what needs attention, and we'll agree what we can take on.
Writing & document preparation
Business letters, emails, reports, presentations, proposals, meeting papers, research summaries, formatting and collating information.
Everyday business administration
Document organisation, record keeping, supplier coordination, invoice and expense administration, and routine recruitment or HR administration.
Projects & business coordination
Plans, deadlines, action logs, meeting coordination, progress updates and keeping people informed so work doesn't stall.
Reporting & management information
Spreadsheets, management updates, trackers and clearer reporting. We can help organise information so decisions are easier to make.
Efficiency reviews & practical AI
A fresh look at what's taking too long, where processes can be simplified and how everyday tools can reduce repetitive work.
Specialist legal, tax, regulated financial or HR advice is not included in these general administrative services. Any specialist work would need to be separately agreed with an appropriately qualified professional.
A flexible way to work together
Only pay for the support you actually need.
Not every business needs another full-time role, and not every problem needs an expensive consultancy engagement. Sometimes a few well-spent hours make a real difference.
01 / ONE-OFF
Just get it done
A report, presentation, document pack, research task or a backlog that needs sorting. We agree the task, scope and fee upfront.
02 / ONGOING
Monthly business support
Regular executive or administrative help with an agreed number of hours and clear priorities. Flexible support without a permanent hire.
03 / IMPROVEMENT
Review & improve
Need a fresh perspective on how your business operates? We can review specific workflows and suggest practical improvements.
All work is scoped individually. Monthly support is based on agreed tasks, availability and hours — not unlimited access.
Human-led. Technology-enabled.
We use AI. You still talk to a person.
Technology can make drafting, reporting, planning and routine administration much quicker. But good business support still needs judgement, discretion and someone who understands what you're trying to achieve.
We use the right tools for the job, with appropriate checks and attention to confidentiality. You'll always have a real point of contact, and we can meet face-to-face in London by arrangement.
