Digital Business Cards for UK Professionals
Be the contact they keep — saved to their phone in one step, spelt right.
Digital business cards are live web profiles that UK professionals share by link or QR code instead of handing over paper. They open in any phone browser with no app, can be edited at any time, and cost a single payment in pounds: £45 for Brand Presence or £90 with Business Add-ons.
- 24features across both plans
- £45one payment, no subscription
- 0apps for anyone to install
- 3ways to share: link, QR, signature
§ 01 — The moment after hello
Ten seconds that decide whether they remember you
You say hello
At a meeting, on a stand or across a counter, you show your QR code or text your link.
They scan
Their phone camera opens your profile in the browser. Nothing to download, nothing to sign up for.
You are saved
One click on Save to Contacts puts your name, number, email and links in their phone — spelt correctly.
And when your number or role changes, you edit it once. Every link you have ever shared shows the update.
§ 02 — The paper problem
Why paper cards let UK professionals down
A printed card is out of date the day your job title, number or website changes, and the only fix is another print run. It holds a few lines of text, so your portfolio, booking link and reviews stay out of sight.
Most of the people you meet now are on a screen first. Paper cannot go into an email signature, a video call or a LinkedIn message, and once it is handed over you never know whether anyone kept it.
| Compared on | Paper card | Digital profile |
|---|---|---|
| Updating your details | Reprint the whole batch | Edit once, instantly live |
| What you can share | Name, number, email | Everything: links, portfolio, booking, documents |
| Running out | Happens at the worst moment | Never — one link shares unlimited times |
| Getting started | Wait for a print run | Set up online, no print run |
| Cost over three years | Repeat print runs | Single one-time payment |
| Knowing if it worked | No idea | Views, clicks and saved contacts with Business Add-ons |
§ 03 — Pick how you share
One profile, three ways to share it
A digital business card keeps everything on one profile you control. Pick the page that matches how you meet people — a link for strangers online, a QR code face to face, or a signature and call background for remote work. The plans, features and prices are the same on all three.

- Sales, account and business development teams

§ 07 — In the UK
Using a digital business card in the UK
Both plans are priced in pounds sterling. The price on the page includes UK VAT at the standard rate of 20%, so nothing is added at checkout. You get a receipt by email, and you can download an invoice from My Orders showing the order number, date, plan, tax and total. It is one payment, not a monthly charge.
In the UK, most contact details now change hands on a phone. Send your profile link in a WhatsApp message or a text, paste it into a LinkedIn message or your LinkedIn profile, add it to your email signature, or show the QR code on a screen at an event so people can scan it with their camera.
It fits the places where UK professionals meet: a stand at a trade show such as ExCeL London or the NEC Birmingham, a chamber of commerce breakfast, a site visit at a customer’s home or premises, and the reception desk of a clinic or office, where visitors can scan a QR code on a screen or counter sign while they wait.
It suits professions that hand over their details all day. Estate agents meet buyers and sellers at viewings, solicitors and accountants take on new clients, tradespeople quote on site and clinics welcome new patients. Each can put a professional registration number, office address, price lists or brochures on one profile, and with Business Add-ons can also take bookings and enquiries from the same page.

Frequently asked questions
- Will people I meet need to download an app?
- No. Your profile is an ordinary web page. It opens in the browser on any iPhone or Android after a scan or a click, and they can save your details to their contacts in one step.
- Is there a monthly subscription?
- No. Both plans are a single payment in pounds with UK VAT included. There is no renewal fee to keep your profile live or to keep editing it.
- What if my job title or number changes?
- Change it in your dashboard and the update is live straight away. Every link and QR code you have already shared shows the new details, so there is nothing to reprint.
- Which page should I buy from: online, digital or virtual?
- Choose the one that matches how you mostly share. Online is for sending a link to people you have not met, digital is for scanning in person, and virtual is for email signatures and video calls. Plans and prices are identical.
- Do your prices include VAT?
- Yes. Both plans are priced in pounds with UK VAT included, so nothing is added at checkout. You receive a receipt by email and can download an invoice from My Orders showing the order number, date, plan, tax and total.
- Is it UK GDPR compliant to collect contacts with it?
- That depends on how you use it. Contacts you collect through lead capture are personal data under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and you are the controller for the leads you collect. Tell people what you will do with their details and let them ask you to delete them. The ICO publishes guidance for small businesses at ico.org.uk. This is general information, not legal advice. ICO advice for small organisations
- Can I show my professional registration number (SRA, FCA, Gas Safe, RICS)?
- Yes. Add your registration number to the Details section of your profile, alongside your name, firm and contact details, so clients can see it and check it with your regulator.
- What happens to the contact details I collect?
- Leads captured with Business Add-ons stay in your dashboard and you can export them to a spreadsheet. If you collect personal data you are responsible for handling it in line with UK GDPR.
- What if I lose or change my phone?
- Nothing is stored on the phone. Sign in from any browser and carry on sharing the same link and QR code.
- Who are you, and how do you earn money?
- We are Digital Business Cards UK (digitalbusinesscards.uk). Digital Business Cards UK is an independent store. We work with several business card platform partners and may earn a commission when you buy through us. This never changes your price.
