What does Soopaspace include for a small side hustle?

A booking page, payments, invoices, expenses and mileage, a client list and an AI assistant. Your booking page, bookings and client list are free to start; invoices, expenses, reminders and the assistant come with the paid plan.

Can I keep my side hustle records in one place for tax?

Yes. Income from your bookings and payments is counted for you, you add expenses and mileage alongside, and a tax-year summary downloads for you or your accountant. Soopaspace does not file a return or give tax advice.

A proper booking page for the business you run on the side

A side hustle fits around everything else: a day job, the school run, the weekend. Cakes to order, a weekly class, hand-made pieces to commission. Here is how one of those runs in Soopaspace, shown on Little Crumb Cakes, an example business.

1Your page

A booking page that looks the part, and you can start free

Each thing you sell is a service on your page, with its own photo, price and length. Each service can ask its own questions when someone books, so the flavour, the message on the cake or what they would like to make is waiting for you. Your page, bookings and client list are free to start; enquiries, workshops and the money side come with the paid plan.

Answers shown on the booking and on the client’s page

Each service asks its own questions when someone books, so the details of the order are waiting for you.

2Your hours

Only the hours you choose, and classes with places that count down

Your page only offers the times you set, such as weekday evenings and Saturdays. Set how many places a class or workshop has and put the dates on your page. Each date shows how many places are left, and when a date fills, people can join the waitlist.
