Running an independent business comes with a lot of responsibilities, not least of which are all the admin tasks that take up a lot of precious time. By combining tools like billing, contracts and client communication, HoneyBook helps independent business owners streamline their process and get organized so they can get back to doing what they do best.

The independent business economy is on the rise: more new businesses were started in the United States in 2020 than at any other time in the last 15 years and this momentum only continued in 2021. Our company, like the clients we serve, thrives on creativity and innovation — in eight years, we’ve become the leading platform for independent businesses to manage their client flow and cash flow. To date, HoneyBook has raised more than $400M from investors that include Tiger Global Management, Durable Capital Partners LP, Citi Venture, Battery Ventures, Zeev Ventures, 01 Advisors, Norwest Venture Partners and Our Crowd.
