Business Strategy & PlanningBespoke business plans, roadmaps, and strategic models that align your team, attract investors, and deliver a clear direction for growth.
Clarity. Direction. Results
You've built the business. Now build the owner who can run it.
One Umbrella is a Wellington coaching practice for founders and owners who are done figuring it out alone. One coach, one relationship, real accountability full support starting from $500/month.
One point of contact, every capability
Most business advice comes in fragments — an accountant here, a marketing consultant there, a mentor you see twice a year if you're lucky. None of them see the whole picture, and none of them are on the hook for whether you actually follow through.
One Umbrella is different. You get one coach, matched to you, for the long haul. Someone who knows your business the way you do, asks the questions you've been avoiding, and holds you to what you say you'll do — month after month.
Three-part promise (replaces the old service grid)
A coach who fits you. Matched on experience, industry and style — not whoever's free.
A structure that sticks. Regular sessions, a clear process, and accountability between them — not advice you get once and forget.
Straight pricing. Coaching starts at $500 month. You'll know the investment before the first call ends.
Marketing & BrandEnd-to-end marketing strategy — from brand identity and positioning to social media, content, SEO, and campaign execution that drives real pipeline.
Financial PlanningFinancial modelling, forecasting, and planning documentation — whether for internal clarity, bank financing, or board presentations.
Business CoachingOne-on-one and team coaching for founders and executives — building leadership capability, decision-making frameworks, and accountability systems.
how we work -
Who we work with
We coach two kinds of owner, at two different stages. Both get the same thing: a dedicated coach and a structure that keeps them moving.
Profile 1 — The Builder
Early-stage founders bringing shape to something new.
You're past the idea. The business is real, it's making money, and it's also completely dependent on you. You're making decisions with no one to test them against, wearing every hat, and starting to feel the gap between what got you here and what the next stage will actually need.
This is for you if you:
Are 1–3 years in and still building the business's foundations
Have no one senior to think out loud with
Want habits and frameworks now, before growth makes the gaps expensive
Are ready to be coached, not just complimented
Profile 2 — The Owner
Established owners ready to scale past themselves.
The business works. Revenue's solid, the team's in place, and you've proven the model. What's harder now is you — stepping back from the day-to-day, leading rather than doing, and making the calls that shape the next five years instead of the next five weeks.
This is for you if you:
Run an established SME and are the bottleneck to its next stage of growth
Feel the isolation that comes with being the one everyone looks to
Need someone to pressure-test decisions before they're made, not after
Want an outside perspective with no stake in being agreed with
Who this isn't for
If you want someone to take a problem off your desk and hand back a finished answer, that's project-based advisory work, not coaching — ask us and we'll point you the right way. And if you're after the cheapest option, we're probably not it: this is a serious monthly commitment for owners who are serious about the outcome.
How coaching works
An ongoing relationship, built to keep you moving — not a one-off session you forget by Friday.
1. A conversation to get clear A free discovery call. We talk through where the business is, what's getting in the way, and what you'd want coaching to change. No pitch, no pressure — just enough for both of us to know if it's a fit.
2. Matched to your coach We pair you with a coach on experience, industry and working style. Not whoever's next in the queue — someone who fits how you think and what you're facing.
3. A proper start An extended first session to get to know each other properly, map out what you're working with, and agree what success looks like over the months ahead.
4. Monthly sessions, real accountability Regular one-on-one sessions — enough to keep momentum without adding another meeting you dread. Between sessions, you're working to what you committed to, not just waiting for the next call.
5. Regular check-ins on progress We track how it's going against what you set out to change, and adjust the focus as your business — and what it needs from you — evolves.
Coaching runs on 6 or 12-month terms.
The Difference is in the detail
We've built One Umbrella specifically to solve the problem that holds most growing businesses back: fragmented advice from disconnected providers. Our model puts everything under one coherent, accountable relationship.
01 Integrated by Design
Our practice areas don't operate in isolation. Marketing strategy informs financial projections. Sales processes shape brand positioning. Everything connects — because your business does.
02 Industry-Qualified Experts
Our team brings deep specialist expertise — not generalist opinions. You access seasoned professionals in strategy, finance, marketing, and technology without the overhead of building an in-house team.
03 Outcome-Oriented Engagement
We structure every engagement around clear milestones and measurable outcomes. You always know what success looks like — and we hold ourselves to it.
04 Wellington Roots, National Reach
Based in Wellington with clients across New Zealand and beyond, we understand the local business environment — and the ambitions that extend beyond it.
