Open by default — so UK businesses can adopt, self-host and extend without lock-in. Talk to us →
Open source keeps UK businesses in control.
A small number of vendors hold the keys to the software that runs most companies. Each renewal, price change or discontinued product is a risk that sits outside your control. Open source breaks that dependency: the freedom to run, study, modify and self-host turns rented software into owned infrastructure.
For a smaller business especially, that means continuity (no lock-in, no end-of-life cliff), auditability (code you can inspect for security and compliance) and control (your data and deployment stay where you decide). Every app in this suite is MIT-licensed and self-hostable for exactly that reason — adopt it, run it on your own infrastructure, and extend it without anyone's permission.
FastSME — our open-source business-app suite.
