Growing your business with Sage

Add users and more features as your business grows. Simply upgrade to Accounting Standard or Accounting Plus to add more users, track your purchase invoices and keep track of your products and services and much more.

Different users may require different access rights. You may not want a sales clerk to access your banking details, but this may be necessary for your bookkeeper. Select from several predefined roles to make assigning user access rights quick and easy. Create custom roles from scratch or use a predefined role as a template.

Understand premium features

In addition to more users, premium features are available when you upgrade your subscription. These features are fully integrated—no need to buy add-on modules or install anything.
