SplitSum was created by a tattoo studio owner who experienced first-hand how complicated commission-based card payments can become. When contractors are self-employed but payments flow through one business account, things get messy, and fast.
SplitSum was built to solve this problem.
Today, it supports studios across the UK who work with independent contractors and want payments handled properly, transparently, and automatically.
