About us

How we work

There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach to building a business. Especially not in the unregulated online space. We’re not here to deliver cookie-cutter programmes or individual programmes that don’t meet your needs. We’re here to deliver real, team-based, scalable solutions that help you succeed.

Our team of business experts are led by Alison Goodwin, a Hive Mind member and an experienced business consultant and sales and operations manager, who’s been helping businesses to achieve success for over 25 years.

We’ve worked with businesses and managed projects up to multi-million £/$ businesses. We’ve consulted for boards of directors at multi-national corporations and have experience in dealing with some very well-known brands because we have the skills, the team and the knowledge to make an impactful difference and we are here to bring this experience to businesses in the online space.

Need a sales team? We’ve got you covered.
Social media management? We’ll take it off your hands.
Lacking in legal? We can tighten things up.
Processes need reviewing? We’ll lay the foundations.
Recruiting a reliable operations manager?
We train and accredit operations managers for you.

scalable solutions

After taking a deep dive into your current operations, our team will deliver scalable solutions, providing you with bespoke business strategies, and helping you implement operational frameworks that will make your business easier to run and grow.

The Agency offers hands-on support, with a network of experts who are available to consult and deliver tailored solutions. We provide everything from entire teams to experts in individual areas of business operations.

flexible services

We offer flexible, hybrid business solutions. As an agency, we can place members of our team to work with you in your business on a direct, 1:1 basis both to consult and assist with implementation.

But we don’t just provide the people. We also facilitate full-scale project management where you’ll benefit not just from one member of our team, but from our whole network or professionals who we’ll bring in to meet the scope of your project and to take the stress of managing it off your plate.

connecting the dots

The Online Business Association’s four pillars have been carefully curated to make sure that we can connect the dots across all areas of business development.

From expansive accredited training, to ready-to-use resources and our agency of industry masterminds, we don’t just expect to sell you something and then leave. We’re dedicated to providing you with long-term support and solutions and giving you the hands and minds needed to identify and implement change to your business.

That’s why we’re always open to extending our network.

When you work with The Online Business Association, we guarantee authenticity and honesty. That means telling you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.

business development

Make an impact with integrity

You’ve already built a 6, 7, or even 8-figure business, but business still isn’t as easy as you thought it would be by this point, is it?

You grew into this role, your team grew with you and now you worry you’re not leading well.

You want to be across every aspect of your business, but it’s grown a few heads over the years and you know you had to let go of control of the stuff that’s not in your zone of genius.

You want to have an end game and sell one day, but you know it’s all a bit of a mess right now and your business processes are not in the healthiest place.

It could be better, you know it should be better, but where do you start?
