About no~bull consulting
What is no~bull consulting?

no~bull consulting is a UK software company (trading name of Edward Jenkins) that builds practical, Google-native business applications. We develop the no~bull suite of SaaS tools — starting with no~bull books (accounting) and no~bull visa (Spanish visa case management) — as well as bespoke custom applications.

Where is my data stored?

All workspace data for both no~bull books and no~bull visa is stored in a Google Sheets spreadsheet within your own Google Drive. We do not copy or store your data on our own servers. If you ever stop using our software, your data remains in your Google Drive — it’s just a spreadsheet you already own.

How does sign-in work?

Solicitors and staff sign in using their existing Google account via Google OAuth — no new password to manage. End clients (visa applicants) receive a secure magic-link email that signs them in with one click. Sessions last 30 days on a given device, so day-to-day use just requires bookmarking the app URL.

Is no~bull visa GDPR compliant?

Yes. no~bull visa is designed for compliance with both UK GDPR and EU GDPR. The subscribing solicitor is the data controller for their clients’ case data; no~bull consulting acts as the data processor. Case data is stored in the solicitor’s own Google Drive. The EU adequacy decision for the UK means data flows between EU-based solicitors (e.g. in Spain) and the platform are lawful without additional transfer mechanisms. See our full privacy policy.

Can a solicitor based in Spain use no~bull visa?
