Small Business Support Resources
Find the help you need to bring your business to the next level
As a photographer, there’s only so much I can do to support you in your business.
Photos can only contribute to your success if other areas are taken care of too. So here’s a list of fantastic service providers that work with a variety of small businesses. Find your match below!
In case we haven't met...
My name is Anja. I’m a photographer and filmmaker for small businesses and families based in Worthing, West Sussex.
My name is Anja. I’m a photographer and filmmaker for small businesses and families based in Worthing, West Sussex.
The main goal with all my work is to instil confidence in my clients by encouraging them to show up as they are – without changing what they look like, act like or what they care about.
I work with lots of small businesses along the South Coast of the UK and beyond and I hear the same questions and the same challenges all over.
One issue is that as a solopreneur, we have to do everything ourselves. And when we’re ready to ask and recruit help, it can be hard to find the right people and service providers to support us.
That’s what this resource is here for. It is a collection of other small businesses that cover most of the things small businesses need help with: Graphic design, website development, copywriting, finances ect.
Please note, I haven’t worked with everyone on this list myself so when you inquire with anyone here, do your own research to find out if they’re the right fit for you!

As you may have guessed, the list above doesn’t necessarily offer all of the services you might need but hopefully there’s someone in there who can help you with some aspects of your business if you need it.
If you’d like to read more insights on what it’s like to run a (family and personal photography) business, feel free to browse through some of my most popular blog posts:

To put my photographer hat back on, let me close this article by telling you that one thing a lot of (new) businesses ignore is the power of personalised and beautiful photos that represent them and their brand. Stock images won’t get you far when you try to show your audience why you’re different (i.e. perfect for them) – your own brand photos can massively improve how your potential clients perceive you.
So if you’ve never had your photos taken – or if it’s been a while – I’d love to find out what you do and whether I could help you present yourself online.
