Frequently Asked Questions
GENERAL
What is RKY Business Hub?
RKY Business Hub is a business coaching and startup development platform supporting diverse and underrepresented founders. We offer structured group programs, private coaching, pitch competitions, and resources to help you start, grow, and thrive in business.
Who is RKY Business Hub for?
We work with aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs — especially professionals from immigrant, minority, or underrepresented backgrounds — who want to build sustainable businesses in the UK or globally.
COACHING PROGRAMS & ACCELERATOR
I don’t have a business idea yet. Can I still join?
Yes. If you’re at the idea stage, we recommend starting with the Clarity Session or the Build Smart group coaching package to help you explore and validate your ideas before joining the full accelerator. You can also access selected resources via our free download section
What’s the difference between the coaching tiers?
We offer four tiers based on your needs and budget.
- Start Smart is a 1-on-1 clarity session.
- Build Smart offers 6 weeks of group coaching.
- Build Bold is our full 10-week group accelerator.
- Scale & Shine is a VIP package with private coaching, visibility support, and tech systems.
Do I get a website or landing page with all packages?
Only the Build Bold and Scale & Shine packages include website/landing page support.
VISA & CAREER SUPPORT
Do you help with visa sponsorship or career guidance?
Yes. Through RKY Careers and our Tech Transition Bootcamps, we help professionals understand visa-eligible roles, build personal brands, and upskill into high-demand tech roles like Business Analysis, Data, and Digital Marketing.
Can I join your business programs if I’m on a student or skilled worker visa?
Yes — as long as you’re legally allowed to start a business or side project in your visa conditions. If you’re unsure, book a clarity call and we’ll advise accordingly.
WORKSHOPS & EVENTS
Do you host in-person events or is everything online?
Most of our coaching is delivered online for accessibility, but we host major in-person events like Limitless Without Borders and Founders Unplugged in the UK.
Can I get access to past masterclasses or replays? Yes. Replays are available to subscribers and program participants. You can also access select resources via our Free Downloads section.
PAYMENT, ACCESS & SUPPORT
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes — flexible payment options are available for selected programs (Build Bold and Scale & Shine). These can be discussed during your application or discovery call.
Will I get lifetime access to program materials?
Yes. All paid participants receive lifetime access to core materials, replays, and templates (where applicable to the package tier).
How do I contact the team if I need help?
You can email us at community@rkygroup.co.uk or fill out the contact form on our website. We typically respond within 24- 48 hours.
Business & Legal Setup
Will I learn how to register my business in the UK?
Yes. Our workshops and programs cover the basics of UK business registration, including choosing a legal structure, registering with Companies House, and understanding HMRC requirements.
Do I need to already have a registered business to join?
No. You can join at the idea stage. Our coaching programs help you validate your idea and decide when and how to register.
Will I get legal or financial advice as part of the program?
We provide general guidance and invite guest experts (e.g., accountants, solicitors), but we always recommend seeking personalised legal or tax advice from certified professionals.
Eligibility & Application
I live outside the UK. Can I still join your programs?
Yes. Our coaching is open to founders globally. While some content is UK-focused (like compliance or visa routes), the core business strategies apply worldwide.
Is there an application process for the accelerator?
Yes. We review each application to ensure you’re a good fit for the cohort and that we can support your current stage. Selected applicants will be invited to a discovery call.
Can I apply for the Limitless Launchpad if I’m not in a program?
The Launchpad is open to non-members, but finalists often get free access to our business accelerator during the pitch process. Full eligibility will be outlined on the competition page.
Tools & Templates
What tools will I need for the program?
Just a laptop, stable internet, and access to Zoom. We’ll guide you through optional tools like Canva, Notion, Stripe, Calendly, and email platforms during coaching.
Will I get templates or resources to help me start my business?
Yes. Our accelerator packages include templates for pitch decks, content calendars, offer structuring, brand messaging, and more (based on your tier).
Can you help me build my website or landing page?
Yes. We offer a basic landing page in the Build Bold package and a full custom website in the Scale & Shine VIP tier.
Learning & Support
Are the coaching sessions recorded?
Yes. All group coaching sessions are recorded and shared with participants for replay access.
Will I get feedback on my business idea or offer?
Absolutely. Both in group and 1-on-1 settings (depending on your package), you’ll receive tailored feedback to refine your idea, pricing, and customer targeting.
What if I miss a session?
You’ll have access to the replay and can catch up at your own pace. For high-touch packages, you can also ask questions in your accountability group.
Community & Networking
What is the RKY Founders Community?
It’s our private online space for current and past participants to connect, collaborate, and grow together including check-ins, peer support, resource sharing, and visibility opportunities.
Will I get visibility for my business?
Yes. If you’re in Tier 2 or 3, we offer podcast, blog, and newsletter features to help you build authority and reach new audiences.
Can I refer a friend to the program?
Yes. We love referrals! Let us know and we’ll send you details about our referral incentives.
Is there a free community I can join to stay connected?
Yes! We offer a free general WhatsApp community for aspiring and early-stage founders. It’s a space for inspiration, event updates, and foundational business support.
