What you are actually building
Everything an agency needs to look credible and operate properly.
The programme is built around the things that normally take new agency owners months of trial and error to piece together.
Brand
Agency positioning, logo, colours, typography and professional identity.
Website
A clear five-page agency site designed to turn interest into enquiries.
CRM
Pipeline, booking, Stripe, lead notifications and follow-up automation.
Sales
Qualification, scripts, objection handling, follow-up and closing process.
Team
Account Manager, Creative, Sales Closer and Operations structure.
Delivery
Client onboarding, content calendars, approvals, reporting and QA.
Growth
Meta lead generation, retention, renewals, finance and capacity systems.
Systems, not guesswork.Built from the way a working digital agency actually runs.
This is not a generic online course
The point is to leave with an agency you can actually operate.
A lot of business courses stop at videos and motivation. This programme goes further. You get the operating documents, CRM structure, sales flow, hiring process, client onboarding, reporting framework and delivery systems needed to turn the idea into a functioning company.
01
Use real operating templates.
Start with editable systems rather than a blank page.
02
Build before you advertise.
Have the minimum team and delivery structure ready before leads arrive.
03
Know what to outsource.
You do not need to personally become an SEO, PPC, design and development specialist.
Your launch path
A clear route from zero to launch-ready.
Move through the build in the order that reduces operational mistakes later.
Foundation
Company, bank, accounting, compliance, name and business structure.
Brand & systems
Website, CRM, Stripe, booking, sales pipeline and lead follow-up.
Team & delivery
Recruit the core team and install the onboarding, content and QA workflow.
Launch acquisition
Test the full journey and start the initial Meta lead-generation campaign.
Your agency, not ours
You are building an independent company you control.
This is not a franchise and it is not a white-label client reselling scheme. Your company, brand, domain, website, clients and day-to-day commercial decisions belong to you. Kydos gives you the operating system, implementation support and the agreed build work for your tier.
01Your company
Your own legal business and commercial identity.
02Your brand
Your own name, visual identity, website and positioning.
03Your clients
Your agency builds and owns its own client relationships.
04Your operation
Your team, CRM, processes and management structure.
Build something that can grow beyond you
The goal is not to create yourself another full-time job.
Start owner-led if that suits your budget, or build towards an Operations Manager structure where the team handles day-to-day delivery and you oversee the company.

How much do you want Kydos to do for you?

Budget with the full picture
The programme fee is not your only startup cost.
We want you to plan for a functioning agency, not spend everything on the programme and then discover there is no budget left to operate it.
Programme
£2,500, £5,000 or £10,000 depending on how much implementation you want Kydos to handle.
People
Budget for the team you need at launch and the ongoing cost of keeping delivery capacity in place.
Software & providers
Domain, email, CRM/provider usage, creative tools and other third-party operating costs sit outside the programme fee.
Client acquisition
We currently recommend £300 as the initial Meta Ads testing budget, separate from your programme fee.
Need help working out the numbers?The programme includes startup-budget and hiring-affordability calculators.
Talk through your launch budgetWho this is for
You do not need to already be a digital marketing expert.
You want to start properly
You are serious about building a company, not simply opening an Instagram page and hoping clients appear.
You want structure
You want to know what to sell, how to price it, who to hire and how work should move through the agency.
You want support
You want an experienced agency team available while you implement instead of working everything out alone.

Know exactly what you are buying.
Do I need digital marketing experience?
No. The programme teaches the agency operating system. If you want to personally become a specialist media buyer, SEO practitioner or developer, that is a separate skill path.
Will Kydos guarantee clients or revenue?
No. Kydos provides the systems, implementation and support included in your tier. Commercial results depend on execution, market, offer, sales, budget and team performance.
Is the £300 Meta budget included?
No. £300 is the recommended initial starting point for the agency's own acquisition campaign and is separate from the programme fee.
Do I need staff before I start advertising?
Yes. Our recommended minimum launch structure is an Account Manager, Creative and Sales Closer before paid lead generation starts, so the business can actually respond to and fulfil new work.
Do I personally have to fulfil Meta Ads, Google Ads and SEO?
No. The core programme teaches you how to scope, sell, manage and quality-check specialist services. Those services can be fulfilled by competent specialist contractors.
Does this guarantee a sponsor licence or visa?
No. The programme builds a genuine business. Immigration questions are handled separately by a suitably regulated immigration adviser or solicitor.
Can I keep and adapt the templates?
The commercial intention is broad lifetime access and commercial use rights, subject to the final programme agreement, template licence and third-party rights.
