Home / Solutions / On your own

On your own

Run the business on your own, without the admin at night

When you are the one doing the work, nobody is free to answer inquiries. Occanovo replies, takes deposits and sends the reminders while you get on with the job.

3 months free for our first 100 businesses. No card needed.

Sound familiar?

You do the job, then you do the paperwork, usually after everyone else has gone to bed. Inquiries arrive while your hands are full, and by the time you reply some have booked someone else. Then there are balances to chase and reminders to send, all by hand.

What helps

A reply in seconds

Every new inquiry gets an email in your name straight away, even while you are working.

Booked and paid online

Customers pick a date or a free time, answer your questions and pay a deposit into your own account to hold it.

Reminders that send themselves

Appointment reminders and balance reminders go out on their own, so you do not have to ask.

Agreements without the chasing

Your terms can go out when a booking is confirmed, and the customer signs online.

One page for the customer

Each booking has a private page where the customer checks the details, answers your questions, signs and pays.

Follow-ups you will not forget

A lead still waiting for an answer gives you a task on the first, third and seventh day.

Essential is enough to start, with unlimited bookings, all core features, 2 brands and up to 5 people signing in for $35 a month (£25 in the UK, €29 in Europe), excluding tax where it applies. See pricing

Questions people ask

Is Occanovo too much for a one-person business?

Essential is made for an owner-led business moving off spreadsheets, and it includes every core feature. Bookings, customers, proposals and invoices are unlimited on every plan.

Do you take a cut of my deposits?

No. Customers pay into your own Stripe, Square, PayPal, Mollie or Authorize.Net account. Your provider charges its normal card fee and Occanovo adds nothing.

Can I take a card payment at the job?

Yes. With Square you can take a card payment on your phone at the event or appointment.

Other ways people work: With a team, more than one brand, weddings and corporate events.

The first 100 businesses get 3 months free.

No card to start. We help you bring your customers and bookings across, and in return we ask for your honest feedback. Your workspace is set up for your country and your kind of business as soon as you sign up.
