For Founders Who Are Doing Everything Themselves

Your Extra Pair of E-commerce Hands, When You Need Them Most

If you’re running an e-commerce business on your own, time is your biggest constraint. You’re making the decisions, managing the products, fixing issues, updating pages, and trying to move new ideas forward, all while keeping the business running day to day. Good ideas don’t fail, they just get delayed.

That’s where Ecommerce Assist comes in.

We work alongside solo e-commerce founders and small teams to turn ideas into live, launched updates. Once you’ve decided what needs doing, we take over the build, setup, and implementation, so progress doesn’t stall because you’ve run out of hours. You stay focused on direction and customers, while we handle the execution.

From launching new products and improving key pages to keeping your e-commerce business organised and up to date, we remove the constant pressure of unfinished tasks. The result is momentum without burnout and an e-commerce business that moves forward, even when you’re stretched thin.

Our goal is simple:
give sole founders their time back, help ideas reach launch, and make running an e-commerce business feel manageable again.

Too Many Tasks, Not Enough Time? Book a 15-Minute Call

Let’s find the tasks your e-commerce virtual assistant can take over immediately.

Does this sound like you?

You’re running an e-commerce business largely on your own, with a growing list of ideas but never enough time to build, launch, and follow through properly.

Tasks keep stacking up, progress feels slower than it should, and you’re spending more time managing details than moving the business forward. If that feels familiar, it might be time to stop doing everything yourself.

Feeling stretched for time?

How does E-commerce Assist actually help me day to day?

If you’re a founder, the problem usually isn’t knowing what to do, it’s finding the time to do it properly. Tasks stack up quickly: product uploads get delayed, pages need updating, content feels out of date, images need fixing, and small technical jobs keep getting pushed back.

That’s where E-commerce Assist helps. We take ownership of the day-to-day work that quietly drains your time and focus. Once priorities are clear, we handle the building, fixing, updating, and ongoing housekeeping, so progress keeps happening without you having to switch context or work late to catch up.

Where is E-commerce Assist based?

E-commerce Assist is based in Brighton and Hove and works with UK-based e-commerce businesses. That means you’re working with someone in your time zone, with a clear understanding of how UK founders operate day to day, from managing cash flow and launches to juggling multiple responsibilities.

There’s no chasing across time zones or explaining context repeatedly. Communication is straightforward, reliable, and built around how real e-commerce businesses actually run.

Can you help with launching ideas as well as ongoing tasks?

Yes, and this is where most founders see the biggest difference.

Many e-commerce founders have strong ideas that never quite reach launch because the build stage gets stuck behind daily demands. We help bridge that gap. Whether you’re launching new products, refreshing key pages, improving how your site works, or preparing for a campaign, we step in once decisions are made and carry the work through to completion.

Alongside that, we provide steady, organised support to keep everything running smoothly, so new ideas don’t come at the cost of neglected basics.

Who is E-commerce Assist for?

E-commerce Assist is designed for:

• Solo founders who are carrying everything themselves and running out of time

• Small teams who need dependable support without hiring in-house

• E-commerce businesses that want consistent progress without tasks slipping through the cracks

If you’re tired of unfinished to-do lists, delayed launches, and feeling like you’re always reacting instead of moving forward, this type of support is built for you.

Is my data and e-commerce access safe?

Yes. Trust and care are essential when you hand over access to your e-commerce business.

All work is handled professionally, with careful access management and secure processes in place at every stage. E-commerce Assist also holds full professional indemnity and cyber insurance through Hiscox, adding an extra layer of protection for both you and your business.

You can be confident that your data, systems, and updates are managed responsibly and with the same level of care you’d expect from an in-house partner.
