Michael has been brilliant for us. After years of generic advice like "send 100 emails," he was the first person to sit down with us and review what was working and what needed improving. Volume means nothing if the approach isn't right. We now have a clear plan and the confidence to win the work.

Since May 2025 I work with Matt Cheevers as my business advisor and I think he's absolutely brilliant!
I am an artist with quite a niche product and I worked with two business advisors before, who were mainly thinking about their own business. Neither of them was able to give me some sensible advise. Matt though has really helped me 10 steps forward at least. Matt really listens, thinks along with me and gives sensible and very helpful advise. As an artist it sometimes takes a little while before it sinks in and Matt let me take in the information at my own pace, which means we sometimes need two meetings to get my head around it, maybe mainly because I don't want to do the work that comes with it. But all Matt has advised me so far has made sense and has been really helpful, useful and brought me a step further in my business. So if you're looking for a business advisor, I can highly recommend Matt!

I have had a few sessions with Matt Cheevers, and my overall experience has been 5 stars.

Matt has a very direct and practical style, which helps get to solutions quickly without going around in circles. I also find it very valuable when he brings up the business basics that, because we are so focused on the day-to-day, we often overlook or simply don’t have time to think about.

I have found his approach very valuable and look forward to our next sessions.

Re: Matt

Great time keeping.
Knowledgeable officer.
Great user friendly experience.

I worked with Matt Cheevers during a few online business advice sessions. He really understood my concerns about setting up my business, and also provided honest feedback about potential issues that could arise, which I really appreciated. It's clear he really cares about helping people. I'd 100 per cent recommend Wenta to anyone starting their own business. It's invaluable to have access to free advice and support when taking steps towards self-employment. Thank you!

I have regular calls with Matt Cheevers from Wenta, usually 2–3 times a month. He gives very good practical advice, with no fluff. It’s really helpful to have another pair of eyes looking at my business strategy and giving honest, constructive feedback. I always come away from our conversations with something useful to work on.

I have had Matt coaching me, he has been amazing. When I decided to start my own business, it felt a bit daunting. But getting advice and feedback from Matt has really made a huge difference. He reminds me that I need to focus on the huge progress I have made rather than the little things that haven't gone so well. He has helped me focus on the right marketing strategies and it has all made a really positive impact to my business. I truly believe that without his help I would have struggled a lot more to be where I want to be.

Matt was very informative gave me lots of inspiration. I think you did a marvellous job.

Matt was super helpful in our conversation. I didnt know what to expect and he was very warm, informative and came across very genuine. I was grateful for his advise.

Easy to make appointment. Advice was helpfull

Matt Cheevers was excellent.
He was really patient and listened to my current challenges and then afterwards he supplied supporting resources that were very useful.
Additionally, we scheduled a follow up meeting to check how I was progressing, and this was a very supportive meeting.
I would highly recommend Wenta and their team

I have had two sessions with Matt so far and both have been really useful. He has a good way of keeping things on track, starting with the foundations rather than jumping ahead, and building towards a plan that is properly tailored to my business rather than rather than general advice. One simple framing he gave me, "Problem, Solution, CTA" has shaped everything I have produced since.

I not only look forward to seeing Matt, I leave each session with work I can get on with immediately rather than a list of things to think about.

We also have a good laugh along the way. Each session makes room for the wins and for the harder parts of starting a business, which has mattered more than I expected it to.

I was signposted to Wenta via Jobcentre. I was looking for information about self employment. I booked my session with Matt Cheevers. Very positive experience - received clear explanation and answers to my questions, and useful resources for starting business as a sole trader. He kept in touch sending info about Wenta events and resources.

I’ve really enjoyed working with Matt as my business coach. He genuinely understands the reality of running a business, not just the theory. He’s honest and will challenge you when needed, but always in a constructive and supportive way.

Matt brings a huge amount of experience and practical knowledge, but he’s also incredibly easy to talk to and very personable. I never feel like I’m being lectured or given generic business advice.

He has a great way of helping me step back, see things more clearly and focus on what will actually move the business forward. I’d definitely recommend Matt to anyone looking for a coach who understands both the opportunities and the realities of running a small business.

Brilliant free of charge help for new businesses. A lot of help with the basics either taking part in a webinar or viewing their pre-recorded ones. Very helpful!

Carol Allen was an excellent (confident and knowledgeable) presenter who kept the pace on track and involved participants as she went along. These top tips are an excleent way to keep buisnesses on track.

Definately recommend.

Just been on a webinar with Carol Allen. She's great . fab content and makes it fun, which is important. Always come away from her webinars feeling energised.
