Every company document,
in one place.
Every company runs on documents. A privacy policy on the website, contracts for the people you hire, terms your customers agree to, an NDA before a partner will talk to you. Most startups keep them scattered across shared drives, half-remembered templates, and one file a solicitor sent last year.
StartupDocs is one place to write them, ask for changes in plain English, check them against the law, and export a file you can send. Nothing changes in a document until you say so.
Write it, check it, send it.
That is the whole loop. You do not need to know any legal wording, and you do not need to know what compliance means to get value on day one.

This is the entire product.
Three panes: your documents, the document you are working on, and the assistant you talk to. No dashboards to configure and no onboarding to sit through.
Every document your company has, in folders you control. Versioned from the first save, so nothing is ever lost to an overwrite.
A normal document editor. The highlighted text is a tracked change waiting for you: accept it, or reject it and it never happened.
Where you ask for changes and run checks. It answers with findings and proposed edits, and it writes nothing into the document without showing you first.
Import, prompt, review, export, re-check.
Import what you have
Drop in DOCX, Markdown, or plain text. Everything lands in folders you control, versioned from the first save.

Add a data retention clause and tighten the consent wording
DRAFTING EDITS…
2 tracked changes ready for your review.
Review every edit
Edits arrive as tracked changes, never silent rewrites. Accept or reject each one.
Tracked changes
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary. Backups are deleted within 35 days of erasure requests.
Export and ship
Print-ready PDF for signing, DOCX your lawyer can redline, and Markdown for the technical crowd.

Check, and keep checking
Run rulepacks like GDPR and UK DPA before you ship, then again whenever your company details or the rules change. Every affected document gets re-checked, and fixes come back as tracked changes.

ON THE TEAM PLAN
Dispatch an agent for bulk jobs.
Tell an agent to sweep a whole folder: it works through every document, runs the checks, and comes back with fixes for your review. Hundreds of documents, one instruction. Built for teams and agencies managing document sets across clients.
What this is, and what it isn't.
Being clear about the limits is what makes everything above worth believing.
What StartupDocs does
- Drafts and edits documents from professionally drafted templates
- Checks documents against curated rulepacks and proposes fixes
- Keeps your document set consistent when your company details change
- Exports to PDF, DOCX and Markdown, with every change reviewed by you
What StartupDocs does not do
- Give legal advice, or replace a solicitor for anything unusual or high-value
- Issue or prepare a SOC 2, ISO 27001, or any other certification
- Guarantee compliance in any jurisdiction
- File anything with Companies House or HMRC on your behalf
Templates are drafted for England & Wales. Compliance rulepacks reach further: UK, EU, and California. Automated document checks are not legal advice.
Three more questions.
What is compliance?
If the word means nothing to you yet, start here. What the rules are, who they apply to, and what a check actually does.
What templates are in the library?
Privacy policy to founders' agreement: every template, what it covers, and the settings you control.
What does it cost?
Three plans from £19 a month, 7 days free, five documents in week one or every penny back, and what each one includes.
5 documents in 7 days, or it's free.
Privacy policy, terms, cookie policy, DPA, and your first contract, inside the free week. Pay and not have them? One email within 30 days refunds every penny, and every export stays yours. Accounts created now carry a founding member tag.
