The person who tracks the licence also runs the business.
Small businesses don't have a compliance department. The person who sends the invoices and answers the phone is also meant to remember the licence renewal and the insurance, plus that contract set to auto-renew at a higher rate. ExpiryEdge keeps all of those dates in one place and reminds you before each one is due, so a forgotten permit doesn't turn into a fine or a week of lost trading.

Quick answer
Small business expiry tracking means writing down every licence, permit, insurance policy, contract and subscription once, with its renewal date, and getting an automatic reminder at 90, 60, 30 and 7 days. It takes over from the wall calendar and the spreadsheet, and from trying to keep it all in your head. You stop paying for lapsed permits and for contracts that quietly renewed at a higher price.
One person, too many dates
The things that quietly cost a small business real money.
Renewals live in your head
The licence date lives in your head, not on a list. It slips on the week you are busy or ill, and a lapsed permit can stop you trading.
Contracts auto-renew against you
Your card machine contract rolls over for another year at a higher rate because nobody spotted the cancellation window.
Insurance gaps you find too late
Your commercial policy lapses for a few days. You find out when you try to make a claim, which is the worst possible moment.
Everything a small business needs to keep current
Business licences & operating permits
Commercial insurance policies
Supplier & software contracts
Professional & trade certifications
Lease & equipment agreements
Tax & filing deadlines
Health & safety / equipment checks
Vehicle & fleet renewals
Set it once, get reminded in time
A heads-up early enough to act on
Add a date once and ExpiryEdge reminds you 90, 60, 30 and 7 days before it's due, by email, SMS or WhatsApp. That's time to get insurance quotes or give notice on a contract before it rolls over.
Reminders at 90/60/30/7 days
Email, SMS or WhatsApp - whatever you check
Recurring items renew their date automatically
Every document in one tidy stack
Keep each licence, policy and contract with its renewal date. One look tells you what is fine and what needs action, so you are not digging through your inbox and the desk drawer when the council asks for a copy.

Yes. It is simple to set up, plans start at $41 a month, and you can try it free for 14 days without a card. You don't need a compliance team. Add your dates and ExpiryEdge sends the reminders.
Anything with a renewal or expiry date. For most small firms that means the business licence, commercial insurance, supplier and software contracts, the lease, tax deadlines, staff certifications and regular checks like the boiler service or fire extinguisher inspection.
At 90, 60, 30 and 7 days before each date, on email, SMS or WhatsApp, whichever you actually read. That leaves room to renew or cancel before the deadline arrives.
ExpiryEdge warns you before the notice window closes, so you can haggle or cancel in time. The contract only renews if you decide it should.
No. Mark it as recurring and, once you renew it, ExpiryEdge sets next year's date for you. An annual licence or inspection keeps tracking itself.
Yes. Start with five or six dates. As you take on staff or open a second shop, keep adding to the same account; there's nothing to migrate later.
Write every recurring date down once, with the document attached: your business licence, insurance policies, professional registrations, tax and filing deadlines, and domain or software renewals. Then have reminders sent where you'll see them, such as SMS or WhatsApp. Set the first one early enough to gather paperwork, usually 60 to 90 days out. ExpiryEdge works fine for one user, and recurring items roll forward after each renewal, so you only enter them once.
Put every renewal in one place - and let the reminders do the remembering
