Harding is ready to part ways from the girl group and wishes to compete with Lily Allen, Natasha Bedingfield and Kylie Minogue as a global star, according to The Sun.
A source said: "Sarah has had an eye on her future for a long time. She knows girl bands only have a short shelf-life and that the dream wouldn’t last forever.
"She has gone to the best in the business to see if they would be interested in masterminding her solo career. She has her heart set on being Britain’s answer to Kylie Minogue.
"The response hasn’t been quite what she expected. She thought people would jump at the chance to take her on - but it hasn’t quite worked out like that."
