How it works

What you get on every job.

Under a minute, before you leave site.

Customer, what you did, what it cost. Bily numbers it, dates it, works out the tax and hands you a finished PDF.

  • Line items with labour and materials kept apart
  • Invoice numbers that count themselves
  • Saves itself as you type
  • Estimates and receipts as well as invoices, out of the same editor
  • Your logo at the top of every document
Adding invoice lines in Bily, in pounds.

VAT, CIS and your UTR, already on the document.

Your VAT number, your UTR and your CIS rate are on the document from the first invoice.

  • VAT at your rate, with your VAT number in the header
  • CIS taken off labour only, never off materials, at 20 or 30 percent
  • Your UTR printed where the contractor's office looks for it
Bily asking are you CIS registered, with yes selected.

Your data, your iCloud, your business.

No account, no password, nothing to log in to. Your invoices are yours, on your own devices and in your own iCloud, and Bily never handles your money.

  • No email address asked for, ever
  • Your sort code and account number go on the invoice, and stay yours
  • Your documents reach your new phone on their own

Made for where you work

VAT and CIS, worked out for you.

CIS

The fields a British invoice is expected to carry

  • Labour and materials split on the document, because the deduction applies to labour only
  • The 20 percent registered rate or the 30 percent unregistered one, with your UTR printed alongside
How Bily handles CIS

Questions

Before you download.

How does my customer pay me?

Your own bank details go on the invoice, so your customer pays you directly by bank transfer, which is how almost every trade in the United Kingdom already gets paid. No card fees, no holding period, no third party between you and your money.

Will my accountant accept it?

Bily puts the fields a British invoice is expected to carry on the document, and for CIS it checks the figures before letting you send.

Can I use it on an iPad?

Yes. On an iPad Bily shows the list, the editor and the finished document side by side, updating as you type.
