Laravel SaaS developer for multi-tenant products that have to hold up
A SaaS product is more than a web app with a login. Every customer’s data has to stay separate, every role has to see exactly what it should, billing has to match what people actually use, and the whole thing has to keep running while you ship new features every week.
I have been building production Laravel platforms for 10 years, including a multi-tenant ISP platform that runs 10+ providers on shared infrastructure and a referral marketplace that has processed 300+ leads a month for over two years. If you are starting a SaaS product or rescuing one, this is the work I do best.
What I build for SaaS teams
Multi-tenant architecture
Tenant isolation designed in from day one, whether that is a tenant column with global scopes or separate databases per customer. The choice depends on your compliance needs and scale, and I will explain the trade-off before we pick.
Roles, permissions and audit trails
Granular RBAC so admins, staff and customers each see the right slice of the product, plus audit logs so every sensitive action has an answer to “who did this?”.
Subscription billing
Plans, trials, upgrades, downgrades and failed-payment handling with Stripe, wired into feature access so what a customer pays for is what they get.
Dashboards and reporting
Admin and customer dashboards with the metrics your users actually check, plus exports (Excel, PDF) for the people who live in spreadsheets.
APIs and integrations
REST APIs for your own front ends and mobile apps, and integrations with the services your product depends on: payments, messaging, video, GPS, device management.
Takeovers and rescues
Inheriting a Laravel codebase that is slow, fragile or half finished? I start with an audit, fix what is dangerous first, and then keep shipping features while the foundation improves.
How I approach a SaaS build
Decide the tenancy model before the first migration
Retrofitting multi-tenancy is one of the most expensive changes a SaaS product can face. We settle how data is separated, how tenants are identified and how admins work across tenants before any feature code is written.
Ship a thin slice early
The first milestone is a working path through the product on a live staging URL: sign up, do the core thing, see the result. Everything after that adds to something you can already click.
Plain, conventional Laravel
Standard Laravel structure, queues, policies and tests, without clever abstractions only I understand. Your next developer, or your in-house team, should be able to pick it up in days, not months.

How pricing works
New SaaS builds are priced as fixed-price milestones. After a free 30-minute call, you get a written proposal within 48 hours that breaks the product into milestones, each with its own scope, timeline and price. A milestone is billed only after it has been demoed and accepted.
For products that are already live and need ongoing features, maintenance and support, a monthly retainer usually fits better. Either way, nothing starts until the scope and price are in writing and you have approved them.
Questions
Should my SaaS use a single database or a database per tenant?
For most early-stage products, a single database with a tenant ID on every row, enforced by global scopes and policies, is simpler to run and cheaper to host. A database per tenant makes sense when customers need hard isolation for compliance or very different data volumes. I will recommend one for your case on the first call and explain why.
Can you take over an existing Laravel SaaS?
Yes. I start with a code and infrastructure audit, flag security and data risks first, and then agree a plan to stabilise the product while still shipping the features your customers are waiting for.
Do you build the front end as well?
Yes. Depending on the product that is Blade with Livewire for fast, interactive admin tools, or a separate Next.js or React front end talking to a Laravel API. Mobile apps can share the same API using Flutter.
Which Laravel versions and hosting do you work with?
Current Laravel releases for new builds, and older versions for takeovers, with an upgrade path when it is worth it. For hosting I have shipped on AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean and Docker-based setups, and everything is set up in your accounts.
