From idea to trading, without the guesswork
Spark walks you through setting up your business step by step — tailored to your trade, in plain English.
Three simple steps
Tell us about your business
Pick your trade and answer a few quick questions. Already registered? We'll pull your details straight from Companies House — no forms.
Get your setup checklist
Spark gives you exactly what your business needs — the registrations, licences and insurance — in the right order, with official GOV.UK links and the deadlines that matter. No guessing what applies to you.
Get trading
Spin up a simple website, send invoices, keep a job diary, and get reminders so nothing slips. When you need them, we connect you to trusted providers for banking, accounting and insurance.
What it costs
Spark is free to get set up during our early-access phase — no card needed to start. We earn referral fees from some partners, paid by them and never added to your bill (see our Affiliate & Referral Disclosure). Some advanced tools may become paid in future, and we'll always make the price clear before you choose to upgrade.
