Saasu is an online applications (software-as-a-service utility) company for people who love having their business online.

Why We Exist - We started Saasu because…

We believe that small businesses provide an essential service - they are vital to the health of most economies and to employment (often 50% or more of the workforce) - and can play a positive role in society and the environment.

We saw how many small businesses failed to get off the launch pad due to lack of financial management skills and ability to “manage the books”. It’s also often hard to find important and relevant information about managing and growing your business, and very few places where people can share their experience - to both learn and help others.

We saw how difficult it was for many small business owners to manage their consumption tax (in our case Australian BAS/GST)Â and end-of-year tax returns and other ‘compliance’ requirements (compliance is a fancy word for all that paperwork you have to fill in for the tax department and other government agencies when you run a business)

We were creating small businesses ourselves and saw how difficult existing products out there were to use and how important information was “trapped” unintentionally by the software, bookkeepers and accountants. We actually think that this problem can be a primary cause of business failure.
We believed there could be a better way… Saasu’s first and flagship product is our web finance engine to help small business owners to build their business. It’s aims are:

• Make it easier to put financial and contact data into your accounting system
• Automate what can be automated
• Reduce the time it takes to do things when you have to do it by hand
• Make it easier to understand what’s going on
• Easy to get other systems to talk and exchange information

Make it easier to get that information out again in useful and meaningful ways

• Information available wherever you are - at the office, at the accountants, at home (if you must!)
• Easy to understand and use report that help you monitor the health of your business
• No lock-in - easy to export data for use in other systems
