What you are selling

A VTU business resells airtime, data and other bill payments. Your customer pays you, through a gateway in your name. You buy the service from a provider you fund. The software keeps the record.

Billsverse provides the software, training and optional launch support for you to run that service under your own brand.

What you must own

Plan on four things that are not the licence: a domain, hosting, a provider account with money in it, and a payment gateway approved in your name. Prepare and test each part before announcing your service to customers.

Write those four on separate lines. If a vendor folds them into one number, ask which line is which.

Understand the business risks

A VTU business carries operating risks and does not offer a guaranteed return. Your margin is your retail price minus the provider cost, after gateway fees, failed transactions and support time.

Review your expected costs and responsibilities before committing to a launch.

A sensible first step

Read the sample lesson on the three balances, then book a consultation if you want the software scoped. Ask for a written quotation before you pay anyone. This website does not take payment.

These articles provide general guidance. Confirm the costs, compatibility and requirements for your own setup before you commit.
