Scott, founder of LaunchKit

The founder

I build businesses for a living. These are the files I run mine on.

I'm Scott. Thirty years in property and construction, twenty of them running companies of my own. LaunchKit is the set of files I kept rebuilding from scratch, finally done properly.

In business for myself since 2006 · founder of Salus Studios

Most template shops are anonymous. This one isn't, because the whole point of these files is that someone has actually used them to run a business.

What you're buying

The Premium Business Plan, $59.99, one payment.

Who it's for

Freelancers and first-time founders who need a serious working plan: to organise the idea, expose missing assumptions, and turn scattered notes into one structured document. It is not financial, legal, tax, accounting, or investment advice.


Why me

I left school at sixteen and went into an apprenticeship, with no family money and no head start. I studied at night and on my days off while working full time, and kept at it until I had a degree. Thirty years later I have worked across residential, commercial, retail and industrial projects, while spending twenty years running companies of my own.

The number that matters most to you is smaller. I have run my own companies for twenty years, several of them, one after another: winning the work, writing the proposals, sending the invoices, chasing the ones that went quiet. The first LaunchKit template exists because I needed a consistent starting document and improved it every time a job taught me something. That is the same job you are doing.

It has not all worked, and I will not pretend it has. I have backed the wrong idea, hired too fast, priced a job so keenly it made no money, and stayed with something long after I should have walked away. Each of those cost me, and each one taught me a lesson no template ever could. The included hour is there to walk through the document, explain its structure, and help you make your own edits. It is not a substitute for qualified professional advice.


What I'm running now

Not a portfolio of past logos. Products that are live on the app stores and on the web right now, built and run by the same person who wrote the files you are looking at.


The hour of my time

Buy the Premium Business Plan and you get one hour with me, by email, or on a call by appointment if you would rather talk it through. I write the replies myself, not a chatbot or an assistant. Spend it in one go or across a few emails over the month after you buy. I will explain the document's structure, wording and planning assumptions, and help you make your own edits. No upsell at the end. This is a document walkthrough, not business, financial, investment, accounting, tax or legal advice.
