Our Story
Seatd was created with a single conviction — independent professionals deserve the same calibre of business tools as the largest chains, without surrendering a percentage of every booking they worked hard to earn.
The Problem We Solved
The UK self-care and service industry is built on the backs of independent professionals — barbers who built their clientele from zero, nail techs who turned passion into a business, tattoo artists who spent years perfecting their craft, personal trainers who changed lives one session at a time.
These professionals were stuck using platforms that charged commission on every single booking. Every client they brought to the platform. Every appointment they worked hard to fill. A percentage taken — every time.
That was the problem. Seatd is the answer. A flat monthly fee. Zero commission. Every penny from every booking goes directly to the professional who earned it.

Our Mission
Booking is just the entry point. Our vision is to build the complete infrastructure layer that runs every aspect of an independent professional's business — client relationships, revenue, retention, reputation and growth. All automated. All intelligent. All owned by the professional.
By 2030, Seatd will be the platform powering tens of thousands of independent service businesses across the UK and beyond — not just as a booking tool, but as the backbone of how they operate.
What We Stand For
These are not marketing statements. These are the commitments we build every feature around.
💰
We charge a flat monthly fee and nothing else. Every penny from every booking belongs to you. No surprises. No percentages. No exceptions. This is a permanent commitment — not a promotional period.
🔒
The clients you build through Seatd are yours — not ours. Your customer data belongs to you and you alone. We will never monetise, share or exploit your client relationships. Ever.
🇬🇧
Seatd is built specifically for UK independent professionals. UK pricing. UK phone numbers for SMS. UK cities and towns. Built with an understanding of the UK self-care and service market.
