About Side Hustle Finder
Side Hustle Finder is an independent UK project created by Jonathan Butler. Jonathan works as a firefighter and previously spent around ten years in sales and customer-facing roles.
He created Side Hustle Finder after finding that much of the advice online was generic, overly optimistic or failed to consider whether an idea genuinely suited someone's available time, skills, budget and income goals.
The aim is simple: to help people explore realistic side-hustle ideas, understand the likely challenges and decide what is worth testing — without get-rich-quick promises.
The website combines 33 curated UK side-hustle guides with transparent, rule-based assessments. Figures such as startup costs, earnings and time to first customer are indicative estimates rather than guarantees, and should be checked against your own location and circumstances.
Side Hustle Finder is continually reviewed and improved as new information, user feedback and practical evidence become available.
Who this website is for
People in the UK who want extra income alongside a job, family or study, and who would rather see honest costs, realistic ranges and the likely difficulties than a list of ideas with inflated income claims attached. Everything is written for UK readers, in pounds sterling, with UK registration, tax and insurance considerations flagged where relevant.
The approach: realistic, not hyped
Assessments are rule-based and consistent, so the same answers give the same result. Income ranges are shown as realistic initial targets alongside longer-term potential, rather than a single flattering number. Where a figure is an assumption, the guide says so.
Side Hustle Finder is an independent UK website. It does not provide individual legal, tax, financial or regulated professional advice.
