Small Business Soletrader Software FOR THE MULTI-BUSINESS SELF EMPLOYED
We built SoleTrader for independent professionals who juggle multiple ventures - the consultant with a side project, the practitioner who also teaches, the photographer who also rents a studio. One system, all your businesses, one affordable price. No subscriptions, no hidden costs, nothing ongoing.
rebuilt from the ground up after 25 years being used and evolved by ourselves. Now fast, modern, runs on any device, costs nothing to run on your own network and can be set up very cheaply.
SoleTrader helps you manage your clients, jobs, projects and finances across one or more businesses - all from one login. Track who owes you what, what's in progress, what's coming up, and how each venture is performing. Your businesses, clients and jobs - organised, searchable and ready when you need them.
Good tools shouldn't be out of reach just because you work for yourself.
on similiar lines to our practice software, our newly modernised, run in your browser, very affordable "small is beautiful" business software is HERE (May 2026)
____________________
our older legacy software for soletraders & companies with varied businessess remains but is now archived
It was a computer system for people with multi businesses or interests - but now mothballed - it was based on our successful Crystalsolutions software for alternative therapists who often have other allied and non-allied businessess.
Our new holistic practice software (2026) is now available as a free fully working demo that will allow 10 records and can be registered for unlimited use for only £ 85.
Soultrader was tailored to the needs of a general business CRM - with accounts,
reception, contact diaries calendar, statistics and stock. All
in a package available to try online as a working demo with registration
and support for $87. Custom database solutions, based on the
online software, is also available from as little as $100.
What it Did & What it
Didn't Do
Although it had an excellent
easy to use Accounts structure with Reports and Audit, Soultrader
did not replace a conventional Accounts package as used by Accountants
- We used it day to day for all entries, and then at year end,,
put the monthly income totals and expenses by Category, into
an Accounts programme for use by our Accountants to produce Profit
and Loss and Balance Sheets. (Our Accountants use Sage for example)
This takes a day or so in general and is much faster than using
Accountant packages on a day to day approach, as they tend to
be tedious when used daily. The detail can be provided by Soultrader
either electronically (direct import to your accounts package)
or on printed sheets. The programme allows for direct export
and import in all major formats and if total automation is required,
one can "export" daily, weekly or monthly as needed.
Either for the emerging business
or the established concern, we have aimed to provide a way in
which the proprieter and staff can input contacts, customers,
suppliers - diary: sales or meetings, produce statements of worth
- stock, cash and generally keep abreast of all the day to day
workings of an SME all within one programme at a price, available
even to the new entrepreneur ($87). There are levels of access
if required, so that a Receptionist can handle contacts and Diaries,
Sales or Purchases but does not have Account reporting etc
As with our other software,
a free working Demo with inbuilt help and a tutorial was available
online with an option to Register once you were satisfied with
its operation. Customised versions were available; contact
by email initially.
