"I tried three different accounting packages before RentalBux. None of them understood construction. I had to create my own categories for CIS, couldn't track jobs properly, and spent hours working around limitations. RentalBux had CIS deductions built in from day one. Materials, labour, subcontractor payments—everything's already set up the way construction actually works. My accountant said my records have never been cleaner."

Your Industry Has Unique Needs.
Your Software Should Too.

A plumber's expenses look nothing like a photographer's. A consultant invoices differently to a delivery driver. Yet most accounting software treats every business the same—forcing you into categories designed for retail, hiding the features you actually need, and charging extra for industry-specific compliance.

The result? You waste hours creating workarounds, miss legitimate deductions because they don't fit the standard categories, and worry whether your records will satisfy HMRC if they ever ask questions.

RentalBux is built for how self-employed professionals actually work—across construction, creative, professional services, IT, health, transport and every other trade. Industry-appropriate expense categories. Compliance features for CIS and IR35. Invoicing that matches how your sector gets paid. All included in one price.

Without RentalBux

  • Expense categories designed for retail, not your trade
  • IR35 status? Figure it out yourself
  • Mileage calculations buried or missing entirely
  • Industry compliance features cost extra
  • Records that confuse your accountant

With RentalBux

  • Pre-built categories for your industry's actual expenses
  • IR35 status tracking per contract for IT contractors
  • HMRC mileage rates calculated automatically
  • All compliance features included—one price
  • Clean records your accountant will thank you for
