Thinking of launching your creative business, or taking it to the next level? 

We have options - free online signposting, PAYG work days, or monthly professional development membership. View our options below!

“Trade” is our industry-specific professional development membership. Designed by creatives, for creatives, Trade membership will lead you through monthly themed content, exercises and meetups on tried and tested subjects.  

From planning and pricing work, to writing your CV, bio & artist statement, you'll get relevant business knowledge you actually need, without compromising the "why and how" that makes your business yours.  We know you're not working a 9-5 in a suit!

As well as exclusive content, Trade members have a private Facebook group, and find the community hive-mind invaluable.  Co-working slots are an important feature; solidarity, space and permission to set that time aside and prioritise your business development in manageable steps that add up to success.
