From your side of the counter.
Sunday Octopus is run by Darren Cooper. He has run businesses himself for over twenty years, and he builds the kind of systems he always wished he'd had.
Why Sunday Octopus exists
Running a business means doing eight jobs at once. You're the expert, the receptionist, the marketer, the accountant, the salesperson and the person who answers messages at 10pm. Sometimes you're up at 5am to get ahead, and things still slip. The work that grows the business gets squeezed by the work that doesn't. Nowadays you need to be more than one person.
The tools to fix that now exist. An inbox that sorts and answers itself. A website that takes enquiries while you sleep. Chat that knows your prices. Reviews that get asked for, posts that go out every day, ads that make themselves, a shop that sends its own invoices. And that's only the start: if a job is repetitive, there's a good chance AI can take it off your plate.
Most of these tools are sold to big companies, by people who never meet you. Sunday Octopus brings them to small and medium businesses, set up properly, by someone you can actually talk to.
The name? An octopus has eight arms. So does a busy business. We'd like you to have a few of them back, every day, not just on a Sunday.

How we work
We meet you in person or online, at most twice: a discovery chat and a kick-off. Everything else happens remotely, so it doesn't eat your week. You get a fixed price, you own your domain, and we look after everything once it's running.
