- Are these professional services templates UK-specific?
- Yes. The engagement, scope, billing, retainer and admin wording is built around UK conventions — A4 sizing, GBP, client-data fields shaped around UK GDPR context, and UK terminology — and the records reflect what UK professional firms, their regulators and their insurers typically expect to see. They are practical resources, not legal or regulatory certification.
- Do these templates replace professional-body registration or regulated firm documents?
- No. Your professional-body registration, code of conduct and regulated firm records (for example ICAEW, ACCA, AAT or CIOT for accounting and tax, the SRA for solicitors, the FCA for regulated financial services, RICS for surveyors, ARLA for letting agents, the DVSA register for driving instructors, the SIA for security, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) registration where personal data is processed, and equivalents for other regulated services) remain the official record. Your insurer's own paperwork also remains official. The LaunchKit templates sit alongside them as practical engagement, scope, billing and admin tools — they do not replace any professional-body record, regulatory permission, qualification certificate, or insurer-mandated form.
- How should I check Making Tax Digital requirements for my business?
- Use current GOV.UK guidance and confirm any software workflow against HMRC compatible-software and digital-link requirements.
- What format are the documents in?
- Most engagement, scope, billing, retainer and admin documents are PDFs with a fillable header — type your business name once, then save or print. Premium tiers add editable Word (.docx) versions for full re-wording and logo placement. The Custom tier is browser-editable HTML for business-name and design-colour personalisation (no logo, no body-text editing). The Pricing Calculator is an Excel workbook. The free MTD readiness check is an online planning tool, not filing software or tax advice.
- Can I edit the wording or add my own logo?
- Premium is the tier for adding a logo or re-wording the body text. Premium includes an editable Word (.docx) file you can open in Microsoft Word to drop in a logo and adjust any wording. Custom is browser-editable HTML where you can change the business name and design colours only — no logo upload, no body-text editing. Essential is a PDF with a fillable business-name header; its body copy is fixed.
- How much does a pack cost?
- Pricing is per product family and per tier. Business Documents start from £5.99 (Essential), with Customisable at £13.99 and Premium at £19.99. The Startup Guide is £4.99. Exact prices for every family and tier are shown on the individual product pages and on each niche page.
- How do I know which pack to start with for my firm?
- Most professional services firms start with Business Documents for the engagement, scope, billing and onboarding layer, then add Financial Forms when the bookkeeping side needs structure, and use the free MTD readiness check for general planning. The Pricing Calculator is useful once you want to set retainer and project rates with intent rather than by feel. Each niche page has a recommended starting product based on what most firms in that discipline need first.
