Problem-first
We understand the constraint before recommending technology, scope or a delivery shape.
LIGHTNING BUSINESS SOLUTIONS · UNITED KINGDOM
We build for businesses. And run businesses ourselves.
We know the work that sits behind a customer enquiry: getting the details, preparing the quote, arranging the job and keeping the records straight. Our own service businesses give us a place to build and use the systems we talk about here.
Lightning brings that practical experience to websites, automation and software. You can look at the sites we have built for our own businesses below, then talk to us about what would make a difference in yours.
Lightning Business Solutions is a trading name of Greyline Technologies Limited, a UK company. You deal directly with the person responsible for your project, from the first conversation through to the agreed handover.

02 · The company
A UK company. Practical work, clearly scoped.
Lightning Business Solutions is a trading name of Greyline Technologies Limited, company 16673047, registered in England. We build websites, automation, integrations and software for the work that sits behind a business.
The starting point is a conversation with the person who knows the problem. We agree what would improve, what must keep working and what the project needs to deliver. You can then decide with the scope, price and responsibilities in front of you.
03 · What you can expect
Keep the work useful. Keep the decisions clear.
Buying technical work should leave you with a clear understanding of what you are getting and how it will run. These are the commitments we put into the way a project is scoped and delivered.
- 01Check existing tools before recommending a new build.
- 02Agree deliverables, costs, access and dependencies before work starts.
- 03Show working progress at the review points in the scope.
- 04Assess results against the measures agreed for your project.
