Creative Operations FOR Solo businesses
For coaches, creatives, freelancers and one-person agencies. We set up the booking, client and file systems behind your business, so you spend your days doing the work instead of digging through DMs for that one inquiry.

Our mission
Your business grew faster than your systems. That's fixable.
Mess isn't a character flaw. It just means you got busy.
Backstage works behind the scenes for solopreneurs who are busy, good at what they do, and running everything out of their inbox, their DMs and their head. Coach, designer, photographer, freelancer or brand-new agency owner: we set up one clear flow from first inquiry to finished work, in the tool you already pay for, and write it down so it finally makes sense.
Our vision
Every solo business gets a backstage crew
You should be doing the work you love, not falling behind on email.
The best client experiences feel effortless because the client always knew what was next, what they owed and when the work was coming. That's not luck. That's a system, and you deserve one even if it's just you.
Our values
Simple over fancy. Done over perfect.
Fixed scope, fixed price, no surprises.
We work in one tool, not five. Every email, form and step has to save you time or it goes. And you'll always know what you're getting and what it costs before we start.
How we can work together
The services
Fixed scope, fixed price. Most people start with a Backstage Pass, and it counts toward the Build.
A 90-minute screen-share where we walk through your business from first inquiry to finished work. You get a recorded walkthrough and a one-page "Fix This First" roadmap with your top 3 fixes, in order. Book the Build within 30 days and the full $395 counts toward it.

Our "Booked Solid" client flow, set up for you in 3 weeks inside one main tool (like HoneyBook, Dubsado, Notion or ClickUp). Inquiry form, instant reply, proposal to contract to deposit, onboarding questionnaire and scheduler, 6 ready-to-send emails, a one-page SOP, a recorded handoff training and 14 days of questions after.

An add-on to the Build. A folder and naming system for every client, a backup routine you'll actually follow, and an archive, so you can find any client's files in under a minute.

Your ongoing behind-the-scenes partner once the Build is done. Up to 4 hours a month of changes (new packages, new templates, small automations), requests done within 3 business days, a monthly check-in and a quarterly tune-up. 3-month minimum.
