EveryBusiness was founded in 2025 by Sofia May, a writer and independent researcher with a long-standing interest in how businesses of all sizes actually operate day to day. After years of reading business content that felt either too corporate or too surface-level, Sofia decided to build something different — a publication focused on practical, honest, and accessible business writing for people who are actually in the thick of running something.
The idea was simple. There were plenty of glossy magazines covering billion-dollar companies and plenty of generic listicles about productivity hacks. What felt missing was a reliable, independently run space that treated small business owners, freelancers, and early-stage entrepreneurs as intelligent adults who just needed clear, useful information.
Who This Blog Is Built For
EveryBusiness is written for anyone who is building, managing, or thinking seriously about running a business. That includes first-time entrepreneurs trying to figure out the basics, self-employed professionals managing their own operations, and small business owners looking for practical guidance without the fluff.
It is also a useful resource for people who are still in the planning stages — those who have an idea and want to understand what it actually takes before they commit. The content here does not assume you have a large team or a big budget. It assumes you are doing a lot of the work yourself and need information you can actually use.
What We Write About
The blog covers a wide range of business topics, all approached from a practical angle. You will find articles on starting and registering a business, managing finances, understanding basic legal and tax considerations, building a brand, handling customers, and thinking through growth decisions.
We also cover topics like business planning, pricing strategies, working with contractors, and the everyday operational challenges that do not always make it into formal business education. The goal is to cover the full picture of what it means to run a business, not just the exciting highlights.
Every topic is chosen based on what real business owners actually need to know, not what sounds impressive or generates the most traffic.
How We Approach Our Editorial Work
EveryBusiness is an independently operated publication. There are no investors to please and no advertisers shaping the editorial direction. That independence matters because it means the content can stay focused on what is genuinely useful to the reader rather than what serves any outside interest.
Every article goes through a thoughtful review process before it is published. We try to be accurate, clear, and honest — including about the limits of what we can cover. Business decisions are rarely one-size-fits-all, and we are careful not to present general information as a substitute for qualified professional advice when that advice is genuinely needed.
When a topic is complicated or jurisdiction-specific, we say so. We would rather acknowledge nuance than oversimplify something that could lead a reader in the wrong direction.
The Values That Guide This Publication
Clarity is one of the most important things we try to bring to every piece of content. Business writing has a tendency to lean on jargon and buzzwords in ways that obscure more than they reveal. We write in plain language because that is what actually helps people make decisions.
We also value honesty over optimism. Not every business idea works out, and not every strategy is right for every situation. We try to give readers an accurate picture of both the opportunities and the challenges involved in running a business, without being discouraging or unnecessarily negative.
Respect for the reader runs through everything we do. The people who visit this site are spending their time here, and that matters to us. We take that responsibility seriously by making sure what we publish is worth reading.
A Publication That Grows With Its Readers
EveryBusiness is still a relatively new publication, and it is built with the intention of growing thoughtfully over time. The focus will always stay on independent business owners and entrepreneurs who need reliable, practical information — not on chasing trends or expanding into territory that does not serve that core audience.
