The problem
Invoicing tools are built for desks. Your office is a van.
20 minutes
to send one invoice?
QuickBooks and Xero are accounting suites pretending to be invoice apps. You're paying £20+/month to fight menus built for bookkeepers, not for someone standing in a hallway with a customer waiting.
62%
of small businesses get paid late
UK small firms lose billions every year chasing money they've already earned. Most invoice apps do nothing about it — they send the invoice and go quiet while you do the awkward chasing yourself.
£0
is what unsent invoices earn
The job's done, you're knackered, the invoice "can wait until Sunday". Sunday becomes next month. Money you've earned sits in someone else's account because invoicing feels like paperwork.

Features
Everything you need on the tools. Nothing you don't.
VanBill strips out the accountant-software cruft and gives you the one thing you need: a paid invoice, fast.
2-minute invoices from your phone
Pick the client, add lines, watch the total calculate live — VAT per line at 0%, 5% or 20%, correct to the penny, every time.
Send it on WhatsApp
Your customers live on WhatsApp, not email. One tap opens the chat with the full invoice ready to send. Email works too — your call.
One-tap polite chasing
Invoice gone overdue? Tap once and a friendly, pre-written reminder is ready to fire off. Firm enough to work, polite enough to keep the customer.
Quote → invoice in one tap
Quote accepted? Convert it instantly. Every line copies across — nothing retyped, nothing missed off the bill. Numbering stays sequential.
CIS built in
Subcontracting? Labour/materials split with the 20% or 30% deduction shown properly on the invoice and PDF — most cheap invoice apps can't do this at all.
Your name on everything
Your logo, your colours, your VAT number, your bank details on every invoice. It looks like your business sent it — because it did.

FAQ
Straight answers
What does it cost?
Every plan starts with 30 days completely free — no card needed. After that it's Solo £9, Crew £19 or Firm £29 a month. If you decide not to stay, your account pauses but your data is kept safe and you can export everything, any time. Compare that with QuickBooks from £12+, Xero from £29 and Tradify at £34+ per user.
Is my data safe?
Every business's data is isolated at the database level with row-level security — the same discipline banks use — and we prove it with automated attack tests before every release. Your client list is yours alone.
Do I need to be VAT registered?
No. Set every line to 0% and totals stay VAT-free. If you are registered, per-line VAT at 0/5/20% is built in and calculated server-side, correct to the penny.
Does it work on site with bad signal?
It's built mobile-first for exactly that life. Full offline mode is on the roadmap — early access members vote on what ships first.
What about Making Tax Digital?
MTD-compatible VAT record-keeping is on the roadmap — it's one of the main reasons VanBill exists, because most cheap invoice apps ignore it entirely.
