For · Indian Small Business
An invoice app for Indian small business.
Service firms, consultancies, design studios, agencies, microbusinesses - the businesses that actually run on a handful of clients per month and a single GST registration. VioBusiness sends GST-compliant tax invoices in seconds, on your phone. ₹999 once.
What an Indian small business actually needs.
GST tax invoices with HSN/SAC codes. Multi-currency for export clients. Recurring invoices for retainer customers. Expense tracking with receipts. CSV export your CA can ingest. ₹999 once, lifetime.
i.Who VioBusiness is for
If you fit one or more of these descriptions:
- Service-based small business (consultancy, agency, studio)
- One or two-person partnership firm
- Private Limited (Pvt Ltd) with the founder doing the invoicing
- LLP with one partner handling client billing
- Microbusiness with under ₹50 lakh annual turnover
- Mix of domestic and export clients
VioBusiness is built for you. Not built for:
- Retail shops with inventory and POS (use Vyapar or myBillBook)
- Manufacturers with batch tracking (use Tally)
- Multi-employee businesses with payroll (use Tally + payroll add-on)
- E-commerce sellers with marketplace integrations (use specialised tools)
ii.Features that matter for small business
- GSTIN on every invoice. Set once, appears automatically.
- HSN/SAC codes per line item. Required by GST law. See our SAC reference.
- Intra-state vs inter-state tax handling. CGST+SGST for same state; IGST for different state. VioBusiness handles both based on the place of supply you set.
- Multi-currency. Bill domestic in INR, export in USD/GBP/EUR. Records preserved in original currency.
- Quotes and proposals. Win business with a clean PDF before invoicing.
- Contracts. Long-form documents for engagements that need formal scope and terms.
- Recurring invoices. Retainer clients invoice automatically each month.
- Brand color on PDFs. Match your business identity.
- Expense tracking. Categorise, attach receipt photos, export for income tax computations.
- CSV export. Hand to your CA for GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, and income tax filings.
iii.The hybrid pattern (which works for many)
A surprisingly common setup among Indian small businesses:
- VioBusiness for daily invoicing, on the founder's phone
- CA handles GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, annual return, income tax filings - using their own software (Tally / ClearTax / Zoho)
- End-of-month: founder exports VioBusiness CSV, emails to CA
- CA reconciles, files, sends back the return summaries
Cost: ₹999 (VioBusiness) once + ~₹1,500-3,000/month CA fee. Versus ₹6,000+/year for Zoho Books or ₹22,500 Tally license.

v.Frequently asked
Does it support e-invoicing (IRP/IRN)?
Not directly yet. VioBusiness produces the underlying tax invoice PDF. For businesses required to e-invoice (above ₹5 crore aggregate turnover for FY 2026-27), the CSV export pairs with e-invoicing service providers. Direct IRP integration is on our roadmap.
Can I have multiple users on the same business?
No - VioBusiness is single-user. Each user has their own copy of the database on their phone. For multi-user businesses you'd need Zoho Books, Tally, or similar.
Does it handle TDS deductions?
You can add a TDS deduction line item on invoices manually. For automated TDS workflow with section-wise tracking and 26AS reconciliation, you'd need Tally or specialist software. Most small services businesses simply note the TDS deduction expected and reconcile via their CA.
Is my data stored in India?
By default it's stored on your phone (Indian device). If you opt into Cloud backup, it's stored in our UK infrastructure (we are a UK-registered company). The Cloud tier is optional - the full app works without it.
