Who We Are...

About Us

SmartVault is a cloud-based document management and file-sharing solution for small-to-medium-sized businesses, professional accountants, and bookkeepers. In 2017, SmartVault became part of the GetBusy Group, which is AIM-listed and currently trading on the London Stock Exchange.
