Renewal tracking for small businesses

Renewal tracking for small businesses that don't have someone whose job this is

A small business doesn't have a dedicated IT department or a procurement team — the same one or two people are watching the domain, the insurance, the software licences, and the subscriptions, on top of everything else running the business. Renewal tracking for small businesses needs to be simple enough that it actually gets used.

Why small businesses miss renewals differently

A large company misses a renewal because it's buried in a department nobody's watching closely enough. A small business misses one because there's no department at all — whoever handles admin is also doing sales, or service delivery, or the books, and a renewal date is one more thing competing for the same handful of hours in a week. Tools built for enterprise procurement are usually too heavy for this, and a personal calendar is usually too easy to lose things in.

The renewals themselves are also more consequential per item than they might be for a bigger business, because there's less redundancy. One domain, one business insurance policy, one or two software licences the whole operation runs on — losing any one of them isn't a line item, it's a real interruption to the business itself.

What renewal tracking for a small business needs

The details that decide whether it's actually used, or just one more app that gets ignored.

Everything in one place, low effort to start

Domain, insurance, licences, and subscriptions all belong on one list that takes minutes, not a setup project, to begin.

No card required to try it

A forced trial or a mandatory card is itself a reason a small business puts off setting anything up.

Automatic checks for what can be checked

A domain's expiry date is public — a tool built for a business without spare admin time should check it, not ask for it.

A warning that doesn't require checking in

Nobody has time to open an app just to see if anything's due — the warning needs to come to them.

Room to add a second person later

A business that starts as one person often becomes two or three — the tool should grow with that without a disruptive switch.

Never priced like an enterprise tool

A small business's whole renewal list is often smaller than one department's at a larger company — the free tier should reflect that.

How RenewKeeper covers each one

✓Everything in one place

Ten built-in categories — including domain, insurance, subscription, and software licence — cover most of what a small business needs to track from day one.

✓No card required

The free plan needs no card and has no time limit — sign up and start adding items immediately.

✓Automatic checks

Domains and SSL certificates are checked automatically every day, at no extra cost, on every plan including Free.

✓Alerts that come to you

Alerts and the weekly digest arrive by email on every plan, so nothing requires remembering to check an app.

✓Room to grow

Sharing a Space and adding members is available from the Pro plan onward, so a solo setup can extend to a second person without starting over.

✓Priced for a small list

Free covers 10 items in 1 Space — often enough for a small business's core renewals on its own.

Who this is for

Solo founders

Running the whole business alone, with a domain, an insurance policy, and a handful of subscriptions to keep an eye on.

Local & service businesses

Licences, insurance, and equipment-related renewals that keep the business legally able to operate.

Freelancers

Business insurance, software licences, and a domain or two, tracked alongside everything else without a dedicated admin day.

Common questions

What is renewal tracking for a small business?

It's a single list of everything a small business needs to renew — its domain, insurance, software licences, subscriptions — with automatic checks where possible and alerts before anything lapses, sized for a business without a dedicated admin team.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. The free plan needs no card and has no time limit, and covers up to 10 items in one Space.

Does it check my domain automatically, or do I have to remember the date?

Domains and SSL certificates are checked automatically every day. Things without a public record, like an insurance policy or a software licence, need the date entered once, and then get the same alerts.

Can I add someone else later if the business grows?

Yes. Sharing a Space with another person is available from the Pro plan, so a setup that starts with one person can extend without switching tools.

Is it actually free, or a trial?

The free plan is free forever for up to 10 items in one Space — it's not a time-limited trial, and there's no card required to use it.
