ABOUT RICHARD COLLIGAN
Running a small business is rewarding but demanding, often lonely, and full of distractions that pull you from what truly matters. As Founder of Oneresource and a third-generation business owner, we built our service to give UK sole traders, solopreneurs and micro business owners reliable support without the cost or commitment of hiring staff.Growing up in family businesses where reliability, continuity, and doing things properly weren’t optional shaped me. One side of the family built and ran a manufacturing business that grew to £6m in the 1960s. The other, owned and worked three farms of circa acres and later my parents built and ran a £2m paint manufacturing company supplying major DIY chains from 1970s this background and 30+ years in marketing, ecommerce, business development and commercial leadership - building ecommerce platforms for global brands, negotiating multi-million-pound contracts, and operating in regulated, performance-driven environments - I know how businesses should be structured, grown, and managed.Oneresource exists because many micro business owners often rely on fragmented freelance help, inconsistent support models or solutions that don’t provide long-term reliability. We provide:• Dedicated UK-based Virtual Assistants: who understand your business and work style• Easy-to-budget hourly rates: only productive time to the minute, no up-front charges, a 60-day rollover for unused time, all-inclusive pricing and a fraction of employment costs • Fully employed VAs: not freelancers, franchisees, or associates• Cyber Essentials certified and GDPR compliant: across all staff and VAs• Insured for bookkeeping compliance: professional indemnity, public and employers’ liability, and cyber/data cover• 6-stage recruitment, DBS, and reference checks• Built-in holiday, resignation, and sick leave cover• Legal-grade NDAs and full confidentiality protections• Proven track record, 17+ years supporting businesses, still supporting some original clients• All-in-one support: admin, call handling, sales/marketing admin, bookkeeping, PA, and moreWe believe we’re the only UK VA service offering this level of continuity, compliance and cost efficiency, without the risks of fragmented freelance, franchise, or offshore setups. Oneresource isn’t a marketplace, franchise, or gig platform. It’s long-term support for professionally run micro businesses across all industries.We help owners reclaim time, reduce risk and run businesses with more clarity and less friction. If that resonates, a conversation is welcome.
