A B2B service business with ~15 clients that is currently paid mostly ad hoc and is trying to move clients to monthly retainers to stabilize revenue.
Problem it solves. Reduce feast-or-famine revenue volatility by converting ad-hoc engagements into predictable monthly retainers and capacity management (freelancers/white-labeling).
Who pays. B2B clients purchasing professional services (existing accounts/decision-makers in client companies)
Market. B2B professional services / agency
How it makes money. Monthly retainers / prepaid packages; ad-hoc premium rush work; white-label fulfillment
Claimed. about £4k/pm when busy; about £2-£2.5k/pm when quiet
The post contains concrete, internally consistent revenue ranges and multiple commenters treated it as a genuine founder problem (recommending retainers, freelancers, white‑labeling) with no upvoted accusations of self-promotion or fabrication.
