In one paragraph

Rivendel is a one-person business operation. You describe a business idea or skill in one sentence, and we build the business and run it: the brand, website, photos, email, social posts, ads and the numbers. Software does the routine work and experienced people check it. You make the big decisions, with a short update every Monday. Plans cost $49.99, $99.99 or $199 a month, and we keep 4% of each sale. You own everything.

What Rivendel is

Category
A one-person business operation.
In one line
Bring your idea or skill. We build the business and run it.
How it works
You describe the idea. We build the business, then run it every day. You make the decisions that matter.
Who does the work
Software does the routine work. People with 15 years in web design, marketing and search check what matters.
What it is not
Not a website builder, not a marketplace, and not a promise of profit.
Your time
About 15 minutes on day one, then a few minutes a day, more on busy days.
Your part
Make what you sell, answer the important messages, and make the calls.

Who it’s for

Starting something
People with an idea and no time, who have never run a business.
Already running something
Sole owners such as plumbers, cleaners, tutors and makers who want the busywork off their hands.
Skills needed
None. If you can send a message, you can use it.

Money

Customer payments

Why 4%
Website builders charge every month for tools. Our 4% pays for finding you customers: Google, AI answers, social posts, email, reviews and new leads. We earn more only when you sell more.
Currencies
You can sell in any currency Stripe supports. Our plans are priced in US dollars.

Control

Done without asking
Routine work that can be undone, such as answering routine questions and confirming orders.
Asks you first
Anything that costs money, changes a price or a promise, or can’t be undone. You set the spending limit.
Only from money you approved
Ads spend only from your ad wallet. When it’s empty, ads stop and your team asks.
Never
Deleting the website or customers, signing anything, changing bank details, sharing customer details.
Pause
One switch stops all new work.
Visibility
Every email, post, order and change is recorded in Activity. You can stop work in progress.
Corrections
You can correct anything your team believes about your business.

Every Monday

When
A short update every Monday. More often in the first month.
What it contains
A one-line verdict, up to five numbers, what’s working, what isn’t, two or three options and our advice.
The decision
