Frequently Asked Questions

Software firms are notorious for late delivery — what guarantee do you give?

We work on a fixed price + fixed timeline. The delivery date is in the contract; if we are late, we pay a 3% weekly penalty (capped at 20%). We can do this because we define scope tightly up front, prevent scope creep, and use AI-assisted coding to keep on plan. 23 of our last 24 projects were delivered on time or early (reference list shared on the discovery call).

Do you hand over the code, or do we stay dependent on you?

**The code is 100% yours.** The GitHub repo is handed over at no extra charge. You can continue with any other software firm or hire developers in-house. No IR35-style lock-in. We keep clients with quality, not with contracts.

You use AI — won't the quality be lower than human-written code?

The opposite. Our senior developer working with Cursor + Claude/GPT-4 ships ~40% faster and with 25% fewer bugs than a solo developer (our own measurements). AI writes code, but architecture, code review and tests are run by our 12-year team. Result: same quality, faster, cheaper.

Are you HMRC MTD compliant? Can you handle Making Tax Digital?

Yes — we are familiar with HMRC MTD for VAT and the upcoming MTD for ITSA. We integrate directly with HMRC APIs and recognised software vendors like Sage, Xero, QuickBooks UK and FreeAgent. CIS returns, PAYE/RTI submissions and Companies House filings are also supported. Every build is GDPR/UK-GDPR compliant and registered with the ICO when required.

Have you built software for our industry? Will you understand us?

Logistics, e-commerce, healthcare, education, construction, restaurants, property, legal, B2B wholesale, retail, automotive, agriculture — we have live projects across these. If your industry is not on the list, on the discovery call we will introduce you to 1-2 similar clients; hear their story and then decide.

Which marketplaces and systems can you integrate with?

**Marketplaces:** Amazon UK/EU/US, eBay UK, Etsy, OnBuy, Notonthehighstreet, ASOS Marketplace, Wayfair UK, Bol.com, Allegro, Amazon DE/FR/IT/ES. **ERP/Accounting:** Sage 50/200, Xero, QuickBooks UK, FreeAgent, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, SAP, Oracle. **HMRC:** MTD VAT, CIS, PAYE/RTI, Companies House. **Payments:** Stripe UK, GoCardless, Worldpay, Sage Pay, Klarna, PayPal, Open Banking. **Couriers:** Royal Mail, Evri (Hermes), DPD UK, Parcelforce, DHL UK, Yodel, UPS. If a system you need is not listed but has a REST/SOAP API, we can integrate it.

What happens if I do not take a maintenance plan? Will the software break?

No — the code is yours and you run it. During the 12-month free warranty every bug is on us. After 12 months: (1) keep going with your own developer, (2) sign a monthly maintenance plan with us (packages: 8 hours/month £580 — 40 hours/month £2,400), (3) buy hourly support (£95/hr). No contract required.

Do I actually need a mobile app, or is web enough?

If you have field staff (drivers, branch managers, site engineers, dentists), mobile is essential — for push notifications, offline mode, camera (QR/barcode/photo). For desktop-only teams a Progressive Web App (PWA) is enough — faster and cheaper. On the discovery call we recommend what fits your scenario; if you do not need mobile, we will say so.

Engineering Custom Software for the British Operating Environment

Any SaaS, internal system or marketplace bridge that operates in the United Kingdom eventually converges on four integration surfaces: an accounting platform (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage), HMRC's Making Tax Digital VAT API, the Companies House Public Data API, and Royal Mail's PAF for address validation. This article walks through each, its authentication model, rate limits and the British peculiarities that catch teams off-guard.

The UK Accounting Triumvirate: Xero, QuickBooks Online, Sage

SMB accounting in the UK is split roughly between Xero (~35%), QuickBooks Online (~30%) and Sage (~25%). All three expose OAuth 2.0 APIs. Xero allows 60 calls per minute and 5,000 per day per tenant; QuickBooks Online allows 500 per minute (10/s burst); Sage Business Cloud Accounting permits up to 1,000 per minute.

  • Xero API: Invoice, Contact, Item, BankTransaction, TrackingCategory; multi-tenant token model
  • QuickBooks Online: Estimate, Invoice, Customer, Item, Class; realm-ID segregation
  • Sage Business Cloud Accounting: SalesInvoice, ContactPerson, Product

A practical lesson: webhooks across all three platforms are unreliable enough that most production systems still poll on a 5-15 minute cron with a watermark-based delta sync.

HMRC MTD VAT Bridging Software

HMRC exposes the MTD VAT API as an OAuth 2.0 REST surface at developer.service.hmrc.gov.uk. Developers register a sandbox app, complete production approval, and then must send fraud-prevention headers (Gov-Client-Connection-Method, Gov-Client-Device-ID, Gov-Client-Public-IP, Gov-Client-Screens, Gov-Client-Window-Size, Gov-Vendor-Version, etc.) with every production call — these are mandatory and 400 responses follow if missing.

Core endpoints: VAT obligations, VAT return submission, VAT liabilities, VAT payments. The submission endpoint is not idempotent — duplicate submissions are a frequent and embarrassing production incident. Always persist the HMRC submission identifier in your own database.

Companies House Public Data API

The Companies House Public Data API is free, authenticated via API key + HTTP Basic, and rate-limited to 600 requests per 5 minutes. The endpoints you will reach for during onboarding flows are:

  • /company/{company_number} — company summary
  • /company/{company_number}/officers — directors plus PSC linkage
  • /company/{company_number}/filing-history — confirmation statements and accounts
  • /search/companies — name or number search

For an "autofill company details on signup" UX, cache the responses for 24 hours. If you need real-time change events, the paid Streaming API (~£600/year) feeds change deltas via long-lived HTTP.

Royal Mail PAF: The British Address Standard

The Postcode Address File is Royal Mail's licensed dataset and the spine of UK address validation. Every e-commerce checkout, application form and CRM in the UK lets the user type postcode + house number and resolves the full address via PAF. You can license PAF directly, but in practice teams use Loqate (formerly PCA Predict), Fetchify, GetAddress.io or Ideal Postcodes. Pricing ranges from £2 to £15 per thousand lookups depending on volume tier.

Open Banking via TrueLayer, Plaid and Tink

The UK is effectively the birthplace of Open Banking — the CMA9 mandate plus PSD2 went live in 2018. TrueLayer (London-headquartered), Plaid (with a strong UK office) and Tink (now Visa-owned) are the tier-one providers. Typical use cases: account linking, balance verification, Variable Recurring Payments (VRP) for subscriptions, instant pay-by-bank for high-value checkouts. SCA requires re-consent every 90 days.

Carrier APIs: Royal Mail, DPD UK, Parcelforce, Evri, DHL

Royal Mail Click & Drop offers a REST API for label generation, tracking and service selection. DPD UK exposes the My DPD API; Parcelforce Worldwide offers a SOAP+REST hybrid; Evri uses Carrier Pre-Advice over CSV/SFTP for high-volume shippers; DHL Express provides MyDHL API. Where multi-carrier rate-shopping is needed, Sorted, Metapack and Shippo aggregate these into a single interface.

Data Residency and Cross-Border Transfers

Post-Brexit UK GDPR means AWS eu-west-2 (London) or Azure UK South are the default residency choices. Personal data transferred to the US or EU must be covered by the UK International Data Transfer Addendum (IDTA) or the UK Addendum to the EU SCCs. Skipping that paperwork is a textbook ICO enforcement target.

Hiring Developers and IR35

Developer demand in the UK is strong, with clear salary bands: Senior Backend roles pay £75-110K in London, £55-85K in Manchester or Edinburgh, £60-95K in Bristol. Hiring channels include Otta, LinkedIn UK, AngelList UK and CWJobs. IR35 reforms since 2021 require the engaging business to determine the employment status of contractors — misclassification creates a substantial PAYE and NI liability. With Tech Nation wound down, Envestors and UKBAA have emerged as the leading Innovator Founder Visa endorsing bodies.

SaaS Pricing and Stripe Billing in GBP

B2B SaaS in the UK is sold in GBP — USD or EUR pricing pages depress conversion by 25-40%. Stripe Billing supports subscription, metered and tiered pricing natively. From a tax perspective, exports of B2B services to overseas customers fall outside UK VAT (zero-rated under the reverse-charge mechanism); UK B2B customers carry 20% VAT and reclaim it via their own VAT return.

UK Security Certifications: Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001

Selling to UK enterprise and public sector (NHS, local councils, central government) increasingly requires Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus. Self-assessed Cyber Essentials costs £300-£500; the audited Plus tier £1,500-£3,000. ISO 27001 is the next escalation, typically £15,000-£40,000. The NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit is mandatory for healthcare-adjacent vendors.

DevOps in the UK: AWS eu-west-2 and Azure UK South

London regions (AWS eu-west-2, Azure UK South) are the default for UK GDPR residency. Some public-sector tenders explicitly require "data must remain in UK"; multi-region replication into the EU requires the UK International Data Transfer Addendum. CloudFront or Azure Front Door, with WAF and DDoS protection, are baseline infrastructure components.

Invoicing: Peppol BIS and B2G Commerce

B2B e-invoicing is not yet mandatory in the UK, but public-sector suppliers are expected to support Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 — the NHS, for example, uses Peppol. HMRC is consulting on a mandatory e-invoicing rollout for 2026-2028. Building Peppol AS4 access-point integration (Avalara, Pagero, Tickstar) into your software opens up enterprise and public-sector procurement pipelines.

Conclusion

Custom software for the UK is the story of five integrations done well — accounting, MTD VAT, Companies House, PAF, Open Banking. Build them into the MVP rather than retrofitting later: in our experience B2B deals close 30-40% faster when an Xero integration is already live, and HMRC MTD compliance is essentially the price of entry to UK accountancy referrals.
