Mybiz is a bookkeeping appliance you own outright. It plugs into your network and keeps your financial data inside your own walls — not in someone else's cloud, not behind a subscription that can lock you out of your own records.
They want to capture your data and rent it back to you. Mybiz was built the other way around — by a small-business owner who needed real books and real operating reports, and was tired of paying a rising monthly fee for neither.
The box is yours. No subscription holds your books hostage, and a lapsed payment can never lock you out of your own financial records.
Your ledger lives on hardware you control, on your own network. Nothing is uploaded to a vendor's cloud by default. An air-gapped mode exists for the security-sensitive.
Double-entry bookkeeping plus the operating reports an owner actually needs to run the company — not just data capture dressed up as accounting.
Cloud bookkeeping is a payment you make forever, on a price the vendor raises on their schedule. Mybiz is a one-time purchase plus a modest security-and-maintenance line. Here's a five-year comparison, with real numbers.
And at the end, you own nothing. Stop paying and you can lose access to your own books.
↳ And you own the appliance. Your data never left the room.
Figures are illustrative founding-cohort pricing for planning the build, anchored to current published cloud rates. The cloud column holds the subscription flat for fairness — in practice those rates have risen 15–25% in a single year. Final pricing is confirmed with founding customers before any box ships.
An honest pre-sale means telling you exactly what you'd be reserving. No roadmap features dressed up as shipping ones.
Mybiz keeps clean books; your CPA does the taxes from them. Tax-currency features are planned as a separate paid add-on, offered only once they're built and stand on their own. You are not reserving a tax engine today, and we won't pretend otherwise.
You run a real business and you want real books, real operating visibility, and your most sensitive financial data kept inside your own walls — not rented from a vendor who raises the price every year.
You advise dozens of small businesses and feel the cloud-subscription pain on every one. Mybiz doesn't compete with you — it does the bookkeeping properly and privately, and hands you clean books. The tax work stays yours.
This is a real pre-build test. We're collecting genuine, costed commitments from real buyers before committing to the full build — so the people who want this most are the ones who shape it. If demand isn't there, it doesn't get built, and no one is charged.
No charge here. This tells us who you are; the invoice comes after.
No. The reserve is collected by invoice and is fully refundable until the build is committed. If the pre-build test doesn't reach its threshold, the build doesn't proceed and any reserves paid are returned. The whole point of this page is to find out whether enough real buyers want this before anything is built.
Not in the first box. v1 keeps clean, proper books and the operating reports you need to run the business. Your CPA does the taxes from those books. Tax-currency features are planned as a separate paid add-on, and we'll only offer them once they're genuinely built — not as a promise to get you to reserve.
It keeps a networked appliance patched and maintained — security updates, fixes, and reporting improvements. Because the box sits on your network, staying patched is a security necessity, so this line is required while you run the box. It is not a tax-currency claim; it's maintenance, stated honestly. Optional higher-touch support (handled by an outside IT partner) is available separately if you want it.
It stays on the box, on your network, in your building. Mybiz is on-premises by design — your ledger isn't uploaded to a vendor cloud by default. For the most security-sensitive buyers, an air-gapped update mode lets you apply signed update packages by hand, so the box never needs an outbound connection at all.
Because it makes your work easier, not redundant. Mybiz produces clean, properly-kept books and hands them to you — the tax work stays entirely yours. Your clients keep their financial data on-premises instead of in a cloud subscription, and you stay in the loop rather than being designed out of it. Reserve as a referrer above and we'll talk about how the relationship works.
Only after this test clears its threshold and the build is hardened — particularly the security and update architecture, which we won't rush to hit a marketing date. Reserving puts you in the first founding cohort and at founding pricing; it does not promise a delivery date we can't yet honestly commit to.
