Business Starter
Four stages, from idea to launch
I guide you through each stage and work on it alongside you. You stay in charge of the decisions; I bring the structure and the legwork.
Shape and test the idea
Sharpen the idea, who it’s for and what you’ll offer, and test it before you spend.
You leave with: a one-page idea brief: who it’s for, what you offer, and how you’ll test it.
Build your starter kit
Name, brand basics, offer and pricing basics, a simple website or landing page, email set-up and a launch checklist.
You leave with: your starter kit, ready to use, and a launch checklist.
Launch
Your first outreach, email marketing and social media basics.
You leave with: a first outreach list, a welcome email and a simple posting plan.
Get help in place
Set up support as you grow, including remote assistants through Nexus Hire.
You leave with: a list of tasks to hand off and a plan for who does them.
Every business is different. I offer honest, practical help, not guaranteed results.

About Dean
Dean B. Lahoz
Founder & CEO, DBL Nexus
“I lead, and I do the legwork.”
I spent a decade as a learning and development manager, building training that teaches real skills to frontline teams in the Philippines, Japan and the United States. I’ve launched accounts in the BPO industry, built new business units inside established companies, and worked frontline roles myself, so I design for the people who actually do the work. Along the way I’ve led teams through attrition, call handling and debt collections.
Today I also support an international company’s sales teams in the United States and Europe, across US and European business hours: executive assistance, sales support, internal communications, and commission, bonus and performance reporting. I run cold email campaigns and their reporting.
And I build things myself: mobile apps, websites, internal web tools and email marketing set-ups. I founded DBL Nexus to turn that experience into products and services people keep using.
I’m open, honest and easy to talk to. If I’m not the right person for what you need, I’ll tell you.
FAQ
Common questions
How much does it cost?
The intro call is free. An idea chat is US$40 for 30 minutes, a strategy session US$75 for 60 minutes, and build sessions US$75 per hour. Everything is billed in US dollars; longer projects are quoted after the intro call.
Can you help me start a business from scratch?
Yes, that’s the Business Starter. We go from shaping the idea to launch, step by step. Results depend on your market and your work, so I won’t promise outcomes, only honest, practical help.
Are sessions online?
Yes. Sessions are held by video call, so you can join from anywhere.
Which time zones do you cover?
US, European and Asian time zones. Tell me yours when you book and we’ll find a time that suits you.
What should I prepare?
A short note on what you want to solve or build, plus anything useful to look at: a document, a link, a report or a rough idea. For a build session, have access to the tools we’ll work in.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes. I keep what you share confidential, and I’m happy to sign an NDA. Messages sent through the form are stored by Netlify, which hosts this site.
How do I pay?
After you book, I’ll send a secure Wise payment request — pay by bank transfer or card. Clients in the Philippines can also pay in pesos via GCash or Maya. Payment confirms your spot.
Can I reschedule or cancel?
Of course. Reschedule or cancel up to 24 hours before your session for a full refund or a new time. Within 24 hours, or if you miss the session, the fee isn’t refundable — but life happens, so your first late change is on me.
