The Founders Vault — Operational Documents for Small Businesses
29 Documents · One Payment · Yours Forever
Vol. I · The Operations Edition · 2026
For Every Small Business
From Founding to Day to Day Operations
The Founders Vault
Twenty nine professionally written contracts, agreements and policies, covering both the founding decisions you make once and the operational documents you need every day. Pay once. Own them forever.
Most people start businesses without the right documents, they just start out and encounter problems along the way, and most times it is already too late or a lot of damage has already been done. I built The Founders Vault so the next founder does not have to learn that the hard way, and so the everyday operational side of running a business is covered too, not just the beginning.
Most small business owners operate without proper agreements and end up losing what they have built. The Founders Vault was built specifically to close that gap.
01
Written for real businesses
Every document is written in plain, professional language for hairdressers, consultants, tradespeople, tutors, cleaners and every small service business in between.
02
One payment, not a subscription
Pay once and the entire library is yours forever. No recurring charge, no expiring access, no pressure to keep paying for something you already own.
03
Customise as you type
Every document updates in real time as you fill in your business details, so what you download is already personalised and ready to use.
04
Far less than a solicitor
A single solicitor consultation can cost more than this entire library. Twenty nine documents, one founder price, built to be genuinely affordable.

The Document Library
Everything your business needs to operate properly
Across six categories and twenty nine documents — all fully unlocked and ready to personalise.
No. These are professional templates intended to give your business a strong starting point. For high value or unusually complex situations, we always recommend a qualified solicitor.
Can I use these for more than one business?
Yes. Once purchased, the library is yours to use across as many clients, staff members and projects as you need, for the business you purchased it for.
Can I resell or share these templates?
No. These documents are for your own business use only and may not be resold, redistributed or repackaged as your own product. Full details are in our Terms of Use.
What if I am not based in the UK?
The documents use general, internationally applicable business language. They are not written against any single country’s specific legislation, so we recommend a quick local review for anything jurisdiction sensitive.
