The Challenge
Starting is easy—growth is hard.
Getting organised and growing is where most businesses struggle.
Most new businesses start with a phone number and word of mouth. That gets you off the ground — but it doesn't build a business. You need systems from day one!
The right tools from day one. Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Never lose a lead again
Every enquiry, quote, and job — tracked from first contact to final payment.
Invoice professionally. Get paid fast.
Create and send professional invoices in under a minute. Your clients pay online by card — money in your account the next business day, powered by Stripe.
An AI business advisor in your corner — from day one
Starting a business means figuring out a thousand things at once. Empire's AI Business Advisor answers your questions, creates templates, and guides you through building a sustainable business.

When word of mouth isn't enough, Empire's built-in marketing agency is ready to go. No new tools, no new logins — it's already in your platform.

Common questions
Do I need any technical skills to use Empire?
None at all. Empire is built for new business owners, not tech people. If you can use a smartphone, you can use Empire. Setup takes under 10 minutes and we guide you through every step.
Can I start with just the CRM and add invoicing later?
Absolutely. Start on the free plan with the CRM and AI Business Advisor. Upgrade to Ops when you're ready to add invoicing and payments. There's no pressure to do everything at once.
Do my customers need to sign up for anything?
No. Your customers receive professional invoices by email and pay online with their card — no accounts required. It's completely seamless for them.
How do I get paid through Stripe?
Empire connects to Stripe — the world's leading payment processor. Once connected (takes 5 minutes), you receive customer payments directly to your bank account, usually within 1–2 business days.
Can I import my existing customers?
Yes. You can import your existing customer list via CSV or add contacts one by one. Your full history of customers can be in Empire within minutes.
What if I'm just starting out and don't have any customers yet?
Perfect timing. Starting with Empire means you'll have the right systems from your very first customer. No messy spreadsheets or catch-up data entry later. The AI Business Advisor can also help you with pricing, quoting, and finding your first customers.
