“I used to spend my Fridays chasing clients. Now I send, and they pay.”— Tunde A. · Lagos

Your clients pay with what they already use

The real cost

Things costing you money right now.

No visibility01

You send the invoice. Then you’re guessing.

Did the client open it? Did it reach them? You don't know, so you wait. Then you send an awkward follow-up message and wait again.

Manual tracking02

You’re tracking payments by hand.

Spreadsheets, phone notes, WhatsApp chats. One missed update and your numbers are off. You forget who paid. You chase people who already paid you last week.

Scattered finances03

Expenses live everywhere.

Bank app for transfers. Notes app for receipts. WhatsApp for supplier quotes. You can't see what your business is actually spending — or what you're really making.

This is how money slips through the cracks — a little at a time, every month.

What Velvy does

Everything you need to stay in control.

One simple system to replace the spreadsheets, phone notes, and scattered tools you’re using now.

01

Send invoices clients take seriously

Professional, branded invoices you can send by WhatsApp, email, or a shareable link. Clients tap one button and pay — no back-and-forth about how to pay you.

Send · Open · Paid
02

Always know what you've been paid

Every invoice moves from draft to sent to paid automatically. When a payment comes in, it logs itself. You can also mark cash or bank transfers as paid in one tap.

Draft · Sent · Paid
03

See where your money is going

Log business expenses in seconds and see how much you're really keeping — not just what came in. Understand your profit, not just your revenue.

Income · Expenses · Profit
04

Keep your business details organised

Save clients, companies, and account details once. Reuse them on every invoice. Switch between businesses without mixing up who owes what.

Before and after

Same business. Better control.

Drag the divider. On the left is what your clients see when you invoice in Word or Excel. On the right is what they see with Velvy. Nothing changed except your system.

Yes. Velvy is built for freelancers, service providers, small agencies, and product sellers. If you send invoices and receive payments, Velvy fits.
