Creative professionals and artists
Designers, writers, photographers, musicians and teachers. The skill is in the craft rather than in financial administration, and it does not have to be anywhere else.
We hear these every week
Three things that keep happening
Payments arrive late
When income is irregular, one late invoice moves everything else. We follow the payment and pay you the same working day it reaches us.
Tax is not your field
Deductions, withholding and filings. Those are handled for you, and the deductions guide says what is worth keeping receipts for.
The invoice does not say what was made
Creative work is easy to price wrongly if the invoice carries only a project name. An itemised one says what is being paid for.
In creative work the skill is in the craft, and the business side is something few people studied. That does not make it less decisive: invoicing, tax and contracts determine how much of the work is left for you.
An invoicing service handles that side completely. You agree the work and the price yourself, we raise the invoice, follow the payment and pay the fee as wages with the tax withheld. No Business ID is needed.
If the work is occasional or seasonal, this suits it particularly well: there are no fixed costs, so a quiet month costs nothing.
No conditions, no small print
What we promise
- No fixed costs. No monthly fee and no commitment. You pay only when you invoice.
- Licence fees and work on one invoice. The breakdown keeps them apart, which makes your own records easier as well.
- Cover is a choice. Accident insurance is included in the Smart and Responsible plans, and liability insurance in Responsible only. Basic has neither, and that is why it is the cheapest.
The first invoice can go out today

- 2Raise the invoiceItemise the work, the rights granted and the expenses. We check it before it goes out.
- 3Get paidAs wages, tax withheld, the same working day the client's payment arrives.
Frequently asked
- Can a licence fee and the work itself go on one invoice?
- Yes. They sit on one invoice with the breakdown keeping them apart, which is what makes your own records readable later and lets the client see what they are paying for.
- Is there anything to pay in a month when I create but do not invoice?
- No. There is no monthly fee and no commitment. The service fee is charged on an invoice, so a quiet month costs nothing.
- Can I sell finished works or products through the service?
- No. What you receive for goods is a sale price, even when the price rests on your own labour: a finished painting or hand-knitted socks are a sale. Commissioned work is different, and a portrait made to order can be invoiced through the service. The line is explained in this post.
Tell us what you invoice, and we will work out which plan fits.
A free conversation, at our office or online. We go through whether light entrepreneurship makes sense in your situation, which plan works out cheapest for what you invoice, and whether you want the accident and liability cover. The conversation commits you to nothing.
