Company mission

To streamline business admin for small businesses, leaving them to focus on the more important stuff.

Our take

With mounting piles of invoices, spreadsheets and receipts, bookkeeping can be a complex and time-consuming task for small businesses. FreeAgent’s award-winning accounting software removes the stress and pain of dealing with business finances by streamlining business admin for small businesses from one comprehensive platform.

The company is partnered with a wide range of professional networks, small business accelerators and co-working spaces (including BizBritain, Creative Entrepreneurs, Made Simple Group, Advantage Business Partnerships, and IPSE) amassing over 125,000 customers across the UK.

Along with managing admin, tax returns, invoicing, and business overviews, the company offers its services to customers with business accounts through NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland, Ulster Bank NI, or Mettle for free. FreeAgent’s comprehensive business accounting capabilities have it well set to remain one of the UK’s most popular online accounting software for micro-businesses.
