Straight up: Satis Omnibus is trading software and money education — it is not business-management software. It won't invoice your customers, book jobs, or do your accounts. So this page points you to the real tools that do those things, and is honest about the (smaller) part Satis plays: helping the owner with their money.
1. Set up & run your business
The essentials — mostly free, government-backed.
business.govt.nz

Visit →3. Get the right expert
For the decisions that are genuinely yours, a qualified human beats any app.
Accountant / bookkeeper

Free, confidential budgeting & financial mentoring if cash flow is tight.
4. Where Satis actually helps — your money as an owner
This is the honest, smaller part Satis plays. It's for you, the owner, not the business's operations:
- Free money education — Run your money like a fund and Resources: cash buffers, reinvesting profit, keeping costs low, and where to get proper advice.
- Find & prepare for a professional — we help you organise your own questions and point you to a licensed adviser or accountant (the sections above).
- The trading tool — with honest caveats — only if you personally have surplus money you can afford to invest and lose. It's spot-only, needs meaningful capital (~$50k+) to be viable, is invite-only while we work toward licensing, and is not advice. Never put a business's working capital into it.
5. Coming once we're licensed
The bigger help is Phase 2, after we obtain FMA licensing: a local Satis adviser who can sit down with you and help you invest surplus profits sensibly — real, local, personalised support (and local jobs). It's a plan, not a service we can offer yet.
