Startups.co.uk partners with Paydough to launch free toolkit for UK businesses, enabling faster payments and simplified invoicing
LONDON, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Startups.co.uk has launched The Startups Business Toolkit, powered by small-business platform Paydough, to help UK entrepreneurs get paid faster and spend less time chasing invoices.
The Startups Business Toolkit simplifies and speeds up invoicing
According to Intuit QuickBook’s Entrepreneurship in 2026 report, a staggering 60% of UK adults say they would be more likely to start a business if financial guidance were easier to access or more affordable.
50% of respondents even said they lack confidence in essential taskslike managing cash flow, tracking expenses, and invoicing customers.
Startups.co.uk’s new Startups Business Toolkit is a completely free tool that simplifies invoicing for UK entrepreneurs, helping them to get paid faster and stop wasting time chasing invoices.
How does this toolkit simplify financial tasks?
-
Get paid faster
The tool works by sending a professional and branded invoice to a client in about 60 seconds. The invoice contains a built-in payment link, offering customers the option to pay by card or bank transfer, with just a few clicks.
A built-in payment link can significantly increase the speed at which you receive payments. Stripe, which handles payments for companies around the world, reports that customers pay roughly three times faster when offered one-tap options like Apply Pay and Google Pay.
-
Track revenue and invoices
The platform’s ‘Get Paid’ section allows business owners to use financial analytics such as tracked invoicing trends and expected vs actual revenue. Keeping financial analytics on just one dashboard helps small business owners to stay organised and on top of their finances.
-
Boost customer trust
The Startups Business Toolkitalso offers small business owners the opportunity to create invoices customised with their own branding. Having a uniform branding that’s consistent throughout a business website and a payment method, can help signal to customers that this payment link is legitimate.
-
Automatically chases late payments
If an invoice does run late, automatic reminders do the chasing on behalf of business owners, reducing the amount of time spent chasing late payments, and allowing for more time to spend on other areas of their enterprise. A single dashboard displays exactly what’s been paid and what’s still outstanding.
What else can this toolkit do for your business?
Get found by new customers: The toolkit also includes online health optimisation tools. Update your business details in one place and Paydough pushes them to Google, Apple, Maps, Siri, ChatGPT, and 50+ more, so customers always see the right information. No logging into each site, no manual uploads, the same hours and details are everywhere.
