Set up the business properly
Work through company formation, business banking, accounting, data protection, insurance and the essential records a UK agency needs.
The Kydos Academy programme
From an idea to an agency with systems behind it.
The programme is structured around the order a real agency needs to be built: company first, then brand, sales infrastructure, team, client delivery and acquisition.
The build sequence
Six stages that take you towards launch readiness.
Four weeks is the core launch target for a responsive participant and normal third-party processing. Eight-week and twelve-week pacing can be used where more time is needed.
Create a credible brand and website
Define the agency, secure the domain, set up professional email and build the website structure that prospective clients will actually see.
Install your sales infrastructure
Set up the CRM, pipeline, booking calendar, Stripe, lead notifications, follow-up and the sales process your closer will use.
Build the minimum delivery team
Recruit the Account Manager, Creative and Sales Closer before paid acquisition begins. Add an Operations Manager where the hands-off model requires one.
Install client delivery systems
Put onboarding, content planning, creative briefs, approvals, reporting, access management and quality control into one repeatable operating process.
Launch client acquisition
Test the lead journey from ad to CRM to salesperson, then start the initial Meta lead-generation campaign with a recommended £300 starting media budget.
What sits inside the system
Not one skill. The whole agency operating model.
You do not need to personally become every specialist. The programme teaches you how the services fit together, what good delivery looks like, when to use contractors and how the owner keeps control of quality and margin.

Run it yourself initially, or build towards a management layer.
The programme supports an owner-led model and a more hands-off structure where an Operations Manager runs daily delivery and reports back to the owner.
