Connecting Battery to multiple consumers

Hey there,
I'm wondering what would be the best way to connect a battery (not a car battery, something smaller, maybe like a drone battery) to multiple consumers that work on different voltages (all within the range of 1.5-12 volts) .
I can probably make a few parallel connections to the terminal and then use a step up or down circuit for each connection, and then solder a proper connector for the matching consumer. I wonder if this setup would work and if there are better ways to do it. It doesn't have to be a DIY project so if there's a particular device that does some of this job it would be best.

Converter for each.
They're cheap, maybe $2-$3 a pop.
Vast range available to cover in-out voltage /current etc. on Ebay for example.

all converters draw small amount of current.
i don't know your setup,but it woulbe good to put swiches for each line

Consumer? I am a consumer and nobody has ever connected a battery to me.
I think he means a load.

I hope the loads are not LEDs where one load is three 2V red LEDs in series (6V) and another load is one 3.2V blue LED. Then the current must be changed for each load, not the voltage.
