A south London mum has just started her own business, offering to do for small and medium-sized enterprises in Croydon and Crystal Palace the sort of tasks that the proprietors never have the time nor the inclination for.
Debbie Tilley: providing back-up for small businesses
Debbie Tilley has set up a company, calling it Pink Spaghetti, to sell her time and experience by the hour to small business owners, consultants, freelancers and home workers.
“There are a burgeoning number of micro-businesses across the Crystal Palace, Croydon and Caterham areas, many of which operate from people’s homes and are not in a position to employ a full-time or even part-time assistant,” Tilley said.
“That is where I come in. I can take over the tasks that no business owner enjoys, from managing their social media to decluttering, book-keeping and creating newsletters. Pink Spaghetti exists to take away the legwork from a business owner and give them more time to spend on the parts of their business that they love.
“I believe I am unique in that I offer small businesses as many hours of support as they want, without making them commit to a regular contract. Basically, it’s pay as you go.”
Qualified as a chartered accountant and having worked as a primary school teacher and as a content developer for a national cancer charity, Tilley has a broad skill set to help local entrepreneurs who are passionate about their businesses.
