Modern Slavery Statement

1. About This Statement

This statement is made pursuant to section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. It sets out the steps TekSpert Ltd has taken to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in our business or supply chains.

Although TekSpert Ltd's annual turnover is currently below the £36 million threshold that triggers a mandatory reporting obligation, we publish this statement voluntarily as a demonstration of our commitment to ethical business practices.

2. Our Organisation

TekSpert Ltd (Company No. 16711813) is a UK-based software company that develops and operates the Settlah accounts receivable automation platform. We are a small technology company with a lean team, and our operations are primarily based in Lancashire, United Kingdom.

3. Our Policies

We have policies and procedures in place that contribute to ensuring modern slavery does not occur in our business:

• Employment practices: All employees are hired through transparent processes, paid at or above the National Living Wage, and provided with written contracts of employment
• Whistleblowing: We encourage all employees to report concerns about suspected slavery or human trafficking without fear of retaliation
• Supplier code of conduct: We expect our suppliers and partners to share our commitment to anti-slavery and to comply with all applicable laws

4. Due Diligence

Our due diligence processes include:

• Evaluating suppliers for modern slavery risks before engagement
• Reviewing key supplier relationships on an annual basis
• Requiring suppliers to confirm compliance with the Modern Slavery Act

5. Risk Assessment

As a UK-based SaaS company, our supply chain is relatively simple and low-risk:

• Staff: All employees are UK-based, employed directly, and paid above minimum wage
• Technology suppliers: Cloud infrastructure, payment processing, and development tools from established, reputable companies (all headquartered in jurisdictions with strong labour protections)
• No physical goods: We do not manufacture, import, or distribute physical goods

We assess our overall modern slavery risk as low. However, we remain vigilant and will update our risk assessment if our operations or supply chain change materially.

6. Training

All team members are made aware of the signs of modern slavery and the importance of reporting concerns. This awareness is included as part of onboarding for new employees.

7. Measuring Effectiveness

We measure the effectiveness of our anti-slavery efforts by:

• Reviewing this statement and our policies annually
• Monitoring any reports received through our whistleblowing process
• Reviewing supplier due diligence outcomes

To date, we have received no reports of modern slavery in our business or supply chain.
