About Us

Sole Traders United is exactly what it says - an organisation designed to unite Sole Traders and Micro-businesses so you get more out of your business and improved quality of life.

Sole Traders and Micro-businesses form the highest percentage of businesses in the UK and are the biggest employers, but the reality is that it can be very difficult to find the cost effective resources you need, quickly and easily. Unlike bigger businesses - every minute spent on your business is a minute away from making money.

Sole Traders United is the brainchild of Janice Tye and Helen Davies. As Sole Traders themselves they saw the potential of forming a community of like-minded individuals for support, encouragement and information exchange. The first event in January 2007 was a resounding success.

Conscious that the demands of running your own business meant that not everyone is always available for face to face events, Janice and Helen took the concept online. Sole Traders United was created to provide that support 24:7 - when you need it most.

Sole Traders United gives you quick and easy access to the resources you need, letting you market your business, source resources, collaborate, find the right information and get the emotional support you need - in one easy, low cost membership.

This website is dedicated to giving you what you need and is developing exponentially due to the commitment from existing members. Our social arm, SoleMates gives you the face to face support Sole Traders depend on.

Whether you’re a start up or established, whether you’re aiming to take over the world in the future or just want enough of the right kind of business now - Sole Traders United is for you!
