SaaS Development for UK Founders

Billing, VAT and Direct Debit

UK business customers often prefer Direct Debit or bank transfer to cards, so we pair Stripe Billing or Chargebee with GoCardless or Stripe's Bacs Direct Debit support. Invoices show VAT numbers and rates correctly, and customers outside the UK get the right treatment for business and consumer sales.

Selling to EU consumers after Brexit can mean registering for EU VAT through the non-Union OSS scheme, which is one reason some founders use a merchant of record such as Paddle. Your accountant should confirm the setup; we build the billing logic either way.

Enterprise readiness for UK buyers

Public sector buyers often purchase SaaS through the G-Cloud framework, which asks suppliers about security, data location and accessibility. Applying is your company's step, but the evidence comes from engineering. What UK procurement teams usually check:

• A data processing agreement and current subprocessor list
• UK hosting in AWS London or Azure UK South, with EU hosting as an option
• SSO with Microsoft Entra ID, which is widespread in UK organizations
• Role-based access and exportable audit logs
• Security controls that map to Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001 questionnaires
• WCAG 2.2 accessibility for public sector and education customers
