Keep selling into Europe.
The EU compliance platform built for one-person craft businesses. Designed to keep you trading, not to price you out.
If you make things by hand and sell to Europe — this was built for you.
Whether you're still trading or you stopped because the new rules priced you out, TieBack is designed to fix the "compliance wall" for craft.
Brexit & GPSR Impact
Since Dec 2024, the EU's General Product Safety Regulation requires a named EU Responsible Person and a ready technical file for every product.
Marketplace Enforcement
Etsy and other platforms now strictly enforce these rules. Without a verified dossier, your listings are at risk of being blocked in EU territories.
Upcoming Digital Product Passports
Textiles (2027) and other categories follow soon under ESPR. We build your readiness today so you don't have to scramble later.
The Maths of Craft
Standard compliance services are priced for corporations, not makers. For a business earning under £20k, typical costs are prohibitive:
- EU Responsible Person £500 – £3,000/yr
- Safety Assessments €400 per product
- Year 1 Total (10 products) ~£4,000
TieBack replaces this with a platform and pricing model built specifically for one-person businesses.
Why TieBack?
We saw makers being pointed to services they could never afford. We believe that craft is a vital part of the global economy and shouldn't be killed by regulation aimed at industrial importers.
- No high annual retainers
- Pay-as-you-grow product records
- Automated GPSR technical files
What tieback removes
One platform. Built ground-up for one-person businesses, not stripped down from an enterprise product.
Compliance dossier in one place
Product records with the structured data the EU regulator asks for, GS1 Digital Link QR codes, and audit retention.
EU Responsible Person on demand
At a rate negotiated specifically for craft makers; add it only if you need it.
Per-product GPSR safety assessment
At world-beating rates; assess only the products you choose.
GTIN setup walked through with you
For when you scale into retail or when DPP turns on for your category.
Future-regulation prompts
When the EU adds new rules, the platform tells you exactly what to do. You stop tracking regulation; the platform does it for you.
We built tieback for makers because no one else did. The regulation hit your end of the market hardest, and the providers in the market couldn't serve you. We can.
How to get access
We're rolling tieback for makers out by invitation, through introductory pricing. Request access and we'll be in touch.
