Frequently asked questions

Are creator payouts my expense or just money held on their behalf?
It depends on your model and contracts. We’ll review how funds flow and treat creator payouts consistently, either as pass-through funds or as your income minus a cost of sales.
Do you also look after individual creators?
This page is focused on the platform, but we do have separate offerings for individual creators and coaches if they need Self Assessment or Ltd-company support.
What about VAT on EU-based users and B2B customers?
We’ll help you understand basic place-of-supply rules and how your platform or payment provider may be handling VAT. Where specialist advice is needed, we’ll flag it early.
