How much does branding cost in the UK?
Men from MarsSmall business branding in London for businesses that plan on getting bigger.
A lot of small business branding looks like it was designed for a business that’s staying small. Coffee & Candle builds brands for owners who are growing — a brand strategy and branding that still fit as you outgrow the shop, the team, or the city you started in.
Brand work sized for where you are, built for where you’re going
We scope every project around your actual business — not a one-size template, and not an enterprise process you don’t need yet. You get real strategic thinking and proper branding, applied at a pace and budget that makes sense for a growing business.
Launching something new?
If you are building a startup rather than growing an existing business, our startup branding agency in London page is the better place to start. It covers the faster, founder-friendly process we use for new brands.

Frequently asked
Is branding worth it for a small business?
If you’re planning to stay the same size, it can wait. If you’re growing — hiring, opening a second location, expanding online — a brand that doesn’t yet look like where you’re headed becomes a real drag on that growth. That’s the point we’re built for.
How much does small business branding cost?
We scope every project to the business in front of us, not a fixed package, so a small business project is priced differently to an enterprise one. You’ll get a clear number on a free consultation.
Can I start with just a logo and add the rest later?
You can, but we’d rather build the strategy first even if the visual output starts small — it means everything you add later (packaging, a website, a second product line) builds on something solid instead of needing to be redone.
