Small Business Support at Lot 50 Yankalilla with Andrew Mates

𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐛 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐞. 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬. 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭.
Running a small business can feel isolating especially when you're doing it solo. That's why I'm opening up my Friday mornings to you.
Every second Friday from 9am-11am at Lot 50 Yankalilla, I'm here for honest, practical conversations about whatever's on your mind:
✓ Business planning that actually works.
✓ Marketing and getting found.
✓ Budgets and cashflow.
✓ Starting right or growing strong.
✓ Personal finance strategy.
✓ Goal setting and achievement.
No appointments needed. Just turn up, grab a coffee, and let's chat.
Sometimes my wife Alyssa (also an established finance coach and business owner) will join me – between us, we've helped hundreds of Australians get unstuck financially and build businesses with solid foundations.

I moved to the Fleurieu in early 2022 and quickly noticed how unsupported our local small business community is with the exception of hospitality and tourism. I wanted to change that. This isn't a sales pitch. It's a genuine offer to help you and your small business to succeed.
Seeing the cost of living pressures facing our small community. That, and a down turn of trade from Christmas and the holiday period due to algal bloom at our beaches means that many small business owners are struggling – they just aren’t talking about it.

I'm Andrew Mates – Diploma qualified finance coach, co-founder of Your Budget Mates, with nearly a decade of experience helping Australians with their small businesses, personal finances, and achieving debt-free, mortgage-free lives.
I’m a small business coach with Andrew Mates Coaching and business mentor with Fleurieu Small Business Network.
I've been self-employed and running my own business since 2018. I know what it takes to build something from the ground up, pivot when needed, and create a brand that stands out in a crowded market.
From:
✓ Creating and rebuilding marketing strategies.
✓ Creating systems that scale without losing quality.
✓ Becoming findable online in a sea of competitors.
✓ Having genuine conversations with clients that lead to sales – without the sleaze.
✓ Creating and facilitating workshops, and collaborative ventures.
Through Your Budget Mates, I've helped hundreds of Australians break free from debt, buy their first homes, and stop living paycheck to paycheck. Through Andrew Mates Coaching, I help small businesses start right and grow with strong foundations in place. Through Fleurieu Small Business Network I aim to connect the local small business community with other business owners who genuinely get the pressure of running a small business.
I've lived the challenges you're facing. The overwhelm. The isolation. The "am I doing this right?" moments. The pressure to stand out when everyone's shouting for attention.
That's exactly why I'm here every second Friday.
I'm not here to sell you anything. I'm here because the small business community on the Fleurieu is largely unsupported, and I want to change that. If I have the answer, I'll give it to you straight. If I don't, I'll point you in the right direction.
Based in Normanville. Available at Lot 50 Yankalilla.
If I can be of service, I look forward to seeing you there! If you are a small business wanting help on overcoming a challenge, pop in have a chat. You are most welcome to come and pick my brains 😊.
