The signature is the last thing standing between you and paid

As a founder you are the whole revenue team. You scope the work, write the proposal, price it, send it, answer the questions and then sit waiting for a signature. The document is agreed in principle days ago, but nothing is real until it is signed, and every hour it sits unsigned is an hour your cash flow, your onboarding and your delivery schedule are on hold. Signet exists to collapse that gap. You send the agreement, your client opens it on their phone, and they sign in one tap with no account to create and no password to reset.

Most e-signature tools were built for enterprise procurement teams, and it shows. They ask your client to register, verify an email, sit through a product tour and navigate a cluttered dashboard before they can put pen to paper, and every one of those steps is a place where a warm deal goes cold. Founders lose signatures not because the client changed their mind, but because signing was more friction than the deal was worth on a busy Tuesday. Signet removes the friction on the side that matters most, the signer's, so the person you are trying to close never has to think about the software at all.

Signet is also built to hold up when it counts. Every agreement you send produces a tamper-evident audit trail, a certificate of completion and a publicly verifiable seal, so a signed contract is not just a PDF in your inbox but a document you can prove was signed, by whom and when. It is aligned with eIDAS, ESIGN and UETA, your data stays in the UK and EU, and your documents are never used to train AI. For a founder that means you can send an investor agreement or a five-figure statement of work with the same confidence a legal team would expect, without the legal team.

The last mile shouldn't cost you the deal.

Deals stall at the signature

You have talked the client through the proposal, handled every objection and got a verbal yes, then the momentum dies in the days it takes to actually get something signed. The longer it sits, the more likely it is to unravel.

Signing tools ask your client to sign up

The person you are trying to close hits a registration wall, an email verification and a login before they can sign. Half of them give up, and you are left chasing a signature that the software made harder to give.

A signed PDF is not really proof

An emailed PDF with a typed name proves almost nothing if a deal ever turns sour. You have no reliable record of who signed, when, or whether the document was altered afterwards.

The tools look nothing like your brand

You have spent real effort making your startup look credible, then the moment of signing hands the client a generic, clunky third-party screen that undercuts every impression you have built.

How signing works for founders.

  1. 01

    Upload or build the agreement

    Drop in your proposal, contract or NDA, or write it in Signet. Add the fields you need signed, dated or initialled, and set who signs where. It takes minutes, not a legal review.

  2. 02

    Send it in one link

    Signet generates a single link you can email or message straight to your client. No account setup on their end, no attachments to download, no app to install.

  3. 03

    Your client signs in one tap

    They open the link on any device, read the agreement and sign with a single tap. No login, no password, no friction between agreeing and signing.

  4. 04

    Get it back signed and sealed

    The moment it is signed, both sides get the completed document plus a certificate of completion, a full audit trail and a publicly verifiable seal. It is done, and it is provable.

Built for the way you work.

Close faster

Cut the days between a verbal yes and a signed contract down to minutes. When signing is one tap, deals stop dying in the gap between agreed and signed.

No login kills no deals

Your client never creates an account or resets a password. Removing that friction is often the difference between a signature today and a follow-up next week.

Every agreement is provable

Each signed document carries a tamper-evident audit trail, a certificate of completion and a publicly verifiable seal, so you can prove exactly what was signed and when.

It looks like you, not the tool

Signing stays on-brand and polished, so the last impression of your sales process reinforces your startup's credibility instead of undercutting it.

Legally aligned by default

Signet is aligned with eIDAS, ESIGN and UETA, with UK and EU data residency, so your contracts hold up without you needing to become an expert in e-signature law.

Flat, fair pricing

Plans are flat and unlimited rather than metered per document, so sending your hundredth contract costs the same as your first. No surprise bills as you grow.

Questions, answered.

No. That is the point. Your client opens a single link and signs in one tap with no account, no login and no password. Removing that friction is one of the biggest reasons founders close faster with Signet.

Yes. Signet is aligned with eIDAS in the EU and ESIGN and UETA in the US, and every agreement produces a tamper-evident audit trail and certificate of completion. That gives you a signed document you can genuinely stand behind if a deal is ever disputed.

Both. Founders use Signet to send sales contracts, proposals and statements of work, NDAs, investor and advisor agreements, offer letters and onboarding paperwork. If it needs a signature, you can send it.

An emailed PDF gives you no reliable proof of who signed or whether it was altered afterwards. Signet gives every signed agreement a tamper-evident audit trail and a publicly verifiable seal, so the signature is provable, not just present.

There is a free plan, and paid plans are flat and unlimited rather than charged per document, starting at eight pounds. Signet is in private beta with free early access, so founders can start sending signable contracts now at no cost.
