Meet Laura

I started The Commercial Studio for one reason: overwhelmed business owners deserve better than a task list nobody owns.

Most sole traders and small business owners reach a point where the work has outgrown the hours in the day — but a full-time hire feels like too much, too soon. That's the gap I sit in. Bookkeeping that's fallen behind, an inbox nobody's on top of, an event that needs a steady hand, marketing that keeps getting pushed to "next week" — I take it on properly, with the same discipline and proficiency you'd expect from someone on your own team.

I run The Commercial Studio solo, on purpose. There's no account manager, no rotating junior, no hand-off between people who don't know your business. When you work with me, you get direct access to the person doing the work — dedicated, consistent, and fully across the detail, every week.

Who I Work With

Built for the business owner who's doing it all

Stretched too thin

Running the business and running the business behind the business — bookkeeping, admin and follow-up that keep getting pushed to "later."

Not ready for a full-time hire

You need specialist-level support, not a headcount decision, an onboarding process, or a desk to find.

Wants it done properly

Not rushed, not half-finished — a strategic partner who treats the detail of your business as carefully as you do.

The Approach

A retainer, not a task list

One-off tasks get you a one-off result. The Commercial Studio works on an ongoing retainer because the businesses I support need consistency, not a favour done in a rush.

10hrs
Minimum weekly commitment — enough time to actually get on top of things, not just tread water.

The number of people who'll ever work on your business. Me. No juniors, no rotating team.
  • 01

    Strategic partner, not a task-doer

    I don't just tick off a list — I flag what's not working, protect your time, and think about the business the way you do.

  • 02

    Never rushed

    A minimum 10-hour weekly retainer means the work gets the attention it needs — not the leftover twenty minutes at the end of the day.

  • 03

    When you hire my company, you get me

    Deliberately solo, deliberately no team — so the person who knows your business is always the one doing the work.

  • 04

    Calm, disciplined, dependable

    Qualified, proficient support delivered without drama — so you can stop carrying what shouldn't be yours to carry alone.
