Small businesses

Small and medium businesses make up around 99% of private sector businesses in the UK. As a small business ourselves, at Sorted Communications we recognise that smaller businesses need communications support that, as well as being effective and reliable, is affordable. Since 2013, we have worked with various small businesses including a corporate finance service, a specialist coach holiday and private hire company, and a translation service.

To support smaller businesses, we have created a special, affordable hours package so you can benefit from our services but at a more manageable rate. To find out more, see below.

"Thanks to the support of Ali and her team I always have the greatest confidence, even when delivering important speeches and presentations to hundreds of people from within our industry. They're very easy to work with, and their support and professionalism is always appreciated. It is great to have Sorted Communications on board."

Paul had clear ideas about the promotional work he wanted to be done but at the same time recognised that copywriting isn’t in his core skillset and isn’t the best use of his time.

By adding our copywriting skills to the marketing ‘nous’ of Paul and his colleagues, we’ve now successfully worked together to produce a new website, press releases, features and opinion pieces for both the media and corporate publications, client case studies, speeches, presentations and introductions to annual reports.

Special offer for small businesses

Frequently asked questions

Most of our day-to-day work lies somewhere on the spectrum of proofreading, editing and writing. We can also provide design and organise print if needed. We write a lot of case studies, blog posts, articles and website copy, and produce annual reports, brochures, guides and sometimes PowerPoint presentations. 

We can also help with non-writing tasks such as researching contact details or media lists, updating spreadsheets, cross-referencing information, organising photoshoots, sourcing translations – and some of the random queries that end up with comms because they don’t fit anywhere else! 

We don’t offer a reactive service (media enquiries/crisis comms) but apart from that, if it’s comms and it can be done remotely, we can probably help.

If you have a task that’s not listed here, drop a line to projects@sortedcomms.co.uk and we’ll let you know whether we can help.

Yes! We know what we’re good at and we stick to that. Things we don’t do include:

Medical writing: While we are comfortable working with medical terminology, we are not medical writers.

Technical analysis: We often work on technical documents to make sure the copy flows and the content is accurate and well presented, but we can’t crunch the data and do statistical analysis.

Strategic planning: While we know what a comms strategy looks like, strategic planning and campaign development are not our forte; we work best as a delivery team.

Reactive work: We don’t have the connections and insider knowledge that you do, so we leave the firefighting to you. We don’t provide media handling, crisis comms or other kinds of reactive or ‘on-call’ services.

Creative-led projects: Our design team are fantastic at adding visual pizzazz to our copy in all kinds of formats and they do a great job with annual reports, leaflets, brochures, social media graphics and the like, but if you need a full rebrand or a creative campaign, we’re not the best fit.

Our real strength is proactive ‘calm comms’ – the things that so often get pushed aside when you’re busy – blog posts, case studies, annual reports, newsletters, leaflets, presentations, posters, website copy… we’re a safe pair of hands that you can rely on to just get those things done.

Yes, absolutely.

We have some case studies on our website and there are testimonials at the bottom of most of our website pages.

If we send you a proposal for work, we will include testimonials and examples of relevant previous work within the proposal.

If you would like to see anything else, just drop us an email and we’ll be happy to send you some relevant examples.
