About Business
but Better
WHAT IS BUSINESS BUT BETTER?
Here to help grow your business
I founded a beauty brand in my kitchen, with the goal to rid the world of plastic bottles - and show other businesses that it was possible to operate a business as ethically and fairly as possible - whilst still being profitable. My team and I spent ten years growing Ethique to a global award winning regenerative brand and I learned a LOT along the way.
Business but Better is a culmination of all of those lessons, as well advice from many dear friends and colleagues I have met along the way.
Business but Better is here to provide you the help you need to grow a business that is not only financially sustainable, but also changes the world and solves problems.

Our experience with Brianne was fantastic, we really appreciated her friendly and candid communication and will be forever grateful for the contacts and knowledge that she generously shared with us.
