How 70Lives – Beauty Business App Works

Set up your business profile and categories, then choose to log transactions manually, by voice, or by scanning receipts. OCR extracts key fields (e.g., vendor, date, amount, tax, category), stores the image, and proposes categories to speed up entry. All receipts are archived in the cloud and retrievable for audits.

Each new income or expense instantly updates your tax view, estimating liabilities such as Income Tax, VAT, and Capital Gains Tax based on local rules. You can export summaries and reports for filing or sharing with an accountant.

Use the pricing and overhead calculators to enter product usage, overheads, time, and target margins. The app calculates recommended prices, displays a visual breakdown of cost components, and shows how many services are needed to reach weekly, monthly, or annual income goals. The dashboard provides a real-time overview and works offline, syncing when connectivity returns.
