THE BUSINESS lb
Free for the first five businesses

Find out exactly where your business stands online.

A structured review of your digital position, a conversation with the founder, and a written 90-day plan you keep — whether or not you work with us.

Takes about two minutes to apply. Ralph replies within one business day.

What you receive

  • Where you stand today
  • Main weaknesses, ranked
  • Five priority actions
  • Tools, with real costs
  • Implementation sequence
  • Investment ranges

Most agencies quote first and understand later.

You describe a problem in a WhatsApp message. You get a proposal for a website. Nobody has looked at whether a website is the thing that would actually move your business. We reversed it. Before we propose anything, we look at the whole picture — how you attract customers, how enquiries reach you, what happens after they do, what you're spending, and what's actually broken.

Sometimes the answer is a Shopify store. Sometimes it's that your Google listing is wrong and your WhatsApp is unanswered, and fixing those two things would matter more than anything we could build. We'd rather tell you that.

Eleven areas

What the assessment actually covers

Business model & revenue

Where does the money actually come from?

Target customer & market position

Who buys, and why you over someone else?

Brand & messaging

Can a stranger tell what you do in five seconds?

Website

Does it exist, does it work, does it produce anything?

E-commerce readiness

Could you sell online, and would it be worth it?

Social media

Is it producing attention, or just activity?

Customer journey

What actually happens between interest and purchase?

Lead generation & follow-up

Where do enquiries come from and where do they get lost?

Internal digital tools

What's being done by hand that shouldn't be?

AI & automation readiness

Is there anything here worth automating yet?

Basic security

Who has access to your accounts, and what happens if they leave?

Why it's free right now.

THE BUSINESS lb launched in August 2026. We need a small number of businesses to work with closely and openly, so that our recommendations are grounded in real Lebanese companies rather than theory.

The first five assessments are free.

In exchange we ask for three things: honest feedback on the process, a testimonial if you found it genuinely useful, and permission to write about the results.

  • Honest feedback on the process
  • A testimonial if genuinely useful
  • Permission to write about the results

No obligation to buy anything. No pressure afterwards. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so and you'll still have the roadmap.

Apply for your assessment

Two minutes. The more specific you are about the last question, the more useful the conversation will be.

Enter "none" if you don’t have one

Budget range you’d consider investing(helps us recommend the right scope)

Best way to reach you

Ralph reads every application personally. You'll hear back within one business day.

Questions

Before you apply

Is it really free?

For the first five businesses, yes — completely. After that it becomes a paid service, and the page will say so.

What's the catch?

There isn't one, but there's a trade. We're a new company and we need real work and real feedback. You get a genuine piece of thinking; we get a case study and a testimonial if we've earned it.

Will you just try to sell me a website?

Sometimes a website is the right answer, and we'll say so. Often it isn't, and we'll say that too. The roadmap is written to be useful whether or not it involves us.

How long does it take?

About 15 minutes for the questionnaire, 45–60 minutes for the conversation, and your written roadmap within a week of it.

Do I need to prepare anything?

No. Come as you are. If you have basic numbers — enquiries per month, roughly where sales come from — bring them. If you don't, that's useful information too.

What if I'm not one of the first five?

Apply anyway. We'll tell you honestly where you stand and what the paid assessment costs.

Is this confidential?

Yes. Nothing about your business is shared or published without your written permission, including in any case study.
