Set up your company

Twenty minutes in Settingsat the start saves you re-deciding the same things on every document afterwards. This is what's worth doing first, in order.

1

Company details and your logo

Under Settings → Company: your name, address, phone and website, plus company registration and VAT numbers if you have them. Upload your logohere too — it's what appears at the top of every quote and invoice you send.

Company name
Your Company Ltd
Phone
01543 000000
Company reg no.
12345678
VAT number
GB123456789
These are what print on your quotes and invoices.
2

Tax — get VAT right early

Settings → Invoicing → Tax ratesis where you say whether you're VAT registered and at what rate. Getting this right before you send anything is much easier than correcting issued documents later.

3

How you get paid

Add your bank details once under Settings → Invoicing → Bank & payment and they print on every unpaid invoice automatically. Want customers to pay by card? Connect Stripe under Settings → Connections and invoices gain a Pay now button.

4

Document defaults

Settings → Invoicing → Documents sets payment terms, quote validity, your numbering prefixes, and whether customers see a Summary or an Itemised breakdown by default. → Costing holds your default markup, so new quote lines start from the right number.

5

Switch on only what you need

Settings → Featuresturns whole areas on and off — quotes and invoices, costing, expenses. If you don't do certificates, leave them off and the app stays smaller. Settings → Certificates is where you enable the schemes you actually work under.

Tipdo tax and bank details before you send your first document. Everything else can be changed later without consequences — those two can't, once an invoice is out.
