About SoloDesks

Most job-management software is built for a firm and then sold down to the sole trader with the team features greyed out. You can tell, because it charges per user — a pricing model that assumes there will one day be more of you, and that quietly taxes the decision to stay small.

The one-person business is not a stage on the way to a real business. It is the most common shape of business in Britain: three quarters of UK private sector businesses employ nobody at all, and construction has more businesses than any other industry. SoloDesks is built for that person and priced per business, not per seat.

SoloDesks was founded in 2026 by Sage Vinson, who designs, writes, supports and answers the email for it. There is no team, no support queue and no outsourced content desk. The guides on this site are written by the same person who writes the software, which is why they are specific about trades and vague about nothing.

If you email support@solodesks.com, that is who replies.

This site publishes tax thresholds, statutory interest rates and trade day rates, and people make decisions with them. Every figure carries the source it came from and the date a human last checked it, statutory facts are kept separate from third-party estimates, and nothing is published that cannot be traced to a named publisher.

The full policy — including what we do when a rate changes and what we will not publish — is set out in the editorial and sourcing policy. Our own analysis of public data lives in Research.
