Unspun Life

I'm Vicki Hopkins and I am the founder of Unspun Life, mum to one, Snoopy fan, and music lover.

​

I work with small businesses, helping them reclaim their time by providing support with tasks which, whilst absolutely necessary, can feel like they take all of the focus away from their core work. Namely, admin, finance and paperwork.

​

In my former lives I worked for a record label, music publisher, property development organisation and IT support business, all of which armed me with a wealth of knowledge about how small businesses work and the challenges they face.

​

After realising that what I needed was more job satisfaction I took a leap, said goodbye to my last job and took on my first freelance work. This eventually grew into Unspun Life as more people contacted me wanting support with essential, but time-consuming work.

​

The scene often looks something like this:

​

You discover that your passion, talent or both, can be translated into your own business, giving you control over your work life - one of the most exciting revelations ever! Your confidence grows and you take the plunge; it's not long before people are buying your product or service and before you know it, you're making a living from what you love.

​

Initially you seek advice from others in the same position about what admin you need to do, how to set your company up, what you need to know about accounts. It seems easy enough to keep on top of it all - it only takes a couple of hours, right?

​

Only, it's easy to put it off. Paperwork is not the reason you've struck out on your own! You're building your business, doing what you love, and you want to spend your time doing the actual work, not thinking about whether your invoicing is up to date, or whether your privacy policy is right. What seemed like a few hours' work becomes more of a headache and there's no space in your diary to find time to sort it all out.

​

Fortunately, paperwork, invoicing, even filing - these ARE the reasons that I set up Unspun Life. You need flexible, accessible support, tailored personally to you and your business? Allowing Unspun Life to take the pain out of your paperwork means you can reclaim your time to concentrate on building your dream.
