Questions? Answers.

I'm a landlord who also freelances. Which plan?

Choose Sole trader. You can turn on property features from Settings at no extra cost, so both sides of your income live in one place.

Which features are live today?

Invoicing, estimates, expenses and bills, receipt capture, mileage, projects and time, bank feeds with CSV and PDF imports, properties with tenancies and rent, online card payments through your own Stripe account, your Self Assessment estimate with its tax timeline, VAT returns filed to HMRC, reports (profit and loss, balance sheet, trial balance, aged debtors and creditors, a general ledger and an accountant pack), a cash flow forecast, Radar insights with a weekly digest, and Finble, our assistant for questions about your own numbers. Anything marked "coming soon" is included in your plan at no extra cost the day it ships.

Can landlords raise invoices?

Yes. The Landlord plan includes invoicing and estimates, so you can invoice tenants for rent or bill anyone else, and record payments against them.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, from Settings → Billing. Upgrades apply straight away and you pay the difference for the rest of the period; downgrades apply at the end of the period you've paid for. During your free trial, switching is instant and free.

What happens when my trial ends?

Your account becomes read-only: you can still see and export everything, and your data stays exactly as it is. If it stays read-only for 12 months, we delete it, but we email the owner at least 30 days beforehand so there is time to choose a plan or download anything needed first. Choose a plan in Settings → Billing to carry on exactly where you left off.

Is VAT included in the price?

Prices are shown excluding VAT. VAT will be added once BusyBee Hub is VAT-registered, and you'll see it clearly before you pay.

Can I file VAT returns?

Yes. BusyBee Hub works out boxes 1 to 9 from your invoices, bills, expenses and bank transactions for the standard, cash accounting and flat rate schemes, checks the return with you and sends it to HMRC through the Making Tax Digital VAT API. Your VAT periods and what HMRC has received come from HMRC.

How do I pay?

By card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through Stripe; we never see your card details. Change your card, download invoices, switch between monthly and yearly, or cancel any time from Settings → Billing. We remind you before a yearly renewal.

Can my customers pay online?

Yes. Connect your own Stripe account from Settings → Payments and every invoice gets a Pay online button. Customers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay on a page hosted by Stripe, and the money goes straight to your Stripe account. You pay Stripe's standard card fees, which we record as expenses for you; BusyBee Hub currently adds no fee of its own.

Can I invite my accountant or my team?

Yes, on both plans: up to five colleagues plus one accountant, at no extra cost. Your accountant's own login is free.
