Meet Our Businesses 💼✨
Say hello to Zeta 👋
Zeta is the founder of All In With Zeta - supporting families of children with SEND with compassion, clarity and real understanding 💛
With 17 years’ experience in education, she knows just how overwhelming the journey can feel 😓 From navigating EHCPs and school challenges to advocating for children, Zeta is all about helping families feel heard, supported and less alone 🤝
Her mission? To be someone in your corner - offering practical, personalised support every step of the way 🌱

Here’s what Zeta had to say about Build a Business 👇
"Starting All In With Zeta was something I'd thought about for a long time, but Build a Business gave me the confidence to actually make it happen. The support, encouragement and practical advice helped me take my ideas and turn them into a real business that is now making a difference to families.
One of the most valuable things was being surrounded by people who genuinely wanted to see each other succeed. It gave me the belief that I could build something meaningful around the work I'm passionate about. Build a Business didn't just help me start a business – it helped me realise that my experience, knowledge and passion had real value, and that I could use them to support even more families."

✨ Meet Our Businesses: HALO BOX ✨
Lea Booth is the founder of HALO BOX 💫
After struggling to find meaningful keepsake solutions while supporting her mum living with Alzheimer’s, Lea came up with her idea 💡
✨ Light-up keepsake boxes designed to preserve memories in a special way
Not knowing where to start, she immersed herself in our workshops:
📚 Business Basics
🎯 Know Your Business
🧠 Intellectual Property
📣 Marketing Essentials
💸 Funding Your Idea
📊 Business Modelling & Value Proposition
🎉 …and our Celebration event!
Fast forward to now… ⏩
🚀 Lea has developed her product and launched in May 🎉

💬 Lea says:
"I began to attend Build a Business workshops in January 2026 and I have never looked back. I had no idea where to start or go for start-up business support.
From my idea, I have now got my product. Thanks to Build a Business I now have my trade mark pending and my registered design pending.
All my progression and development would not have been achievable without Build a Business, and I can never thank them enough for everything they've helped me accomplish." 💛
We can’t wait to see HALO BOX shine ✨

💫Business Tip Tuesday 🤩
Thinking about a shop? 🏪 Wanting a restaurant? 🍜 Wait…
Before you sign a lease… why not try a pop-up 👇
Pop-ups are a great way to:
✨ Test your products in real life
✨ Build your customer base
✨ Gain confidence selling face-to-face
✨ Learn what works (and what doesn’t)
All without the long-term cost 💸
From markets to shared spaces - start small, learn fast
