                                  Schedule 13D

Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

This statement on Schedule 13D (this "Schedule 13D") relates to the Common
Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Smart Online, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). The principal executive offices of the
Issuer are located at 2530 Meridian Parkway, Durham, North Carolina 27713.

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

This Schedule 13D is being filed on behalf of Atlas Capital, SA (the "Reporting
Person"), a company incorporated under the laws of Switzerland. The Reporting
Person is an investment fund, and the address of its principal business and
office is 118 Rue du Rhone, CH-1204, Geneva, Switzerland.

The Reporting Person has not, during the five years prior to the date of this
Schedule 13D, (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding or (ii) been a party
to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction, as a result of which the Reporting Person was or is subject to a
judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting
or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding
any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

As of the date of this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Person has acquired, in the
aggregate, 3,648,101 shares of Common Stock either from the Issuer or from other
shareholders of the Issuer. The Reporting Person has paid an aggregate of
$10,720,455 for these shares from corporate funds, including 56,206 shares
acquired from Dennis Michael Nouri (the former President, Chief Executive
Officer, and President of the Issuer) pursuant to a note cancellation agreement.
In exchange for the shares acquired from Mr. Nouri, the Reporting Person
cancelled a note under which Mr. Nouri owed the Reporting Person principal and
interest totaling $85,117.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Person acquired the shares of Common Stock for investment
purposes. Subject to, among other things, the Issuer's business prospects,
prevailing prices, and market conditions, the Reporting Person may purchase
additional shares of Common Stock and/or other securities of the Issuer from
time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or
otherwise. In addition, one of the Reporting Person's investment goals is
diversification, which may require the Reporting Person to sell shares of Common
Stock. Accordingly, the Reporting Person may, from time to time, make decisions
to sell shares of Common Stock based upon then-prevailing market conditions.

On February 20, 2008, the Issuer entered a new line of credit with Paragon
Commercial Bank ("Paragon"). This line of credit is secured by an irrevocable
standby letter of credit in the amount of $2.5 million issued by HSBC Private
Bank (Suisse) SA, with the Reporting Person as account party. In connection with
the new line of credit, the Reporting Person and the Issuer agreed to an
amendment to the Reimbursement Agreement, which had been entered into on
November 10, 2006. Under the amended agreement, the Issuer has agreed that in
the event of a default by the Issuer in the repayment of the line of credit that
results in the letter of credit being drawn, the Issuer shall reimburse the
Reporting Person any sums that the Reporting Person is required to pay under
such letter of credit. At the sole discretion of the Issuer, these payments may
be made in cash or by issuing shares of Common Stock at a set per share price of
$2.50. The Reimbursement Agreement and the amendment thereto are attached hereto
as Exhibits 1 and 2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the new line of credit, the Reporting Person and the Issuer
also agreed to an amendment of the Stock Purchase Warrant and Agreement, which
had been entered into on January 15, 2007. Under the terms of the amended
agreement, the Reporting Person may elect to purchase up to 444,444 shares of
Common Stock at $2.70 per share upon termination of, or if the Issuer is in
breach under the terms of, the Issuer's line of credit with Paragon. The
original Stock Purchase Warrant and Agreement and the amendment thereto are
attached hereto as Exhibits 3 and 4, respectively, and are incorporated herein
by reference.

On November 14, 2007, in an initial closing, the Issuer sold $3.3 million
aggregate principal amount of secured subordinated convertible notes due
November 14, 2010 to noteholders, including the Reporting Person (the
"Noteholders"). In addition, the Noteholders have committed to purchase on a pro
rata basis up to $5.2 million aggregate principal of secured subordinated notes
upon approval and call by the Issuer's Board of Directors in future closings.
The Issuer is obligated to pay interest on the notes at an annualized rate of 8%
payable in quarterly installments commencing on February 14, 2008. The Issuer
does not have the ability to prepay the notes without the approval of
Noteholders holding at least a majority of the principal amount of the notes
then outstanding.

On the earlier of the maturity date of November 14, 2010 or a merger,
acquisition, sale of all or substantially all of the Issuer's assets or capital
stock, or a similar transaction, each Noteholder in its sole discretion shall
have the option to:



      o     convert the principal  then  outstanding  on its note into shares of
            Common Stock, or

      o     demand  immediate  repayment  in cash  of the  note,  including  any
            accrued and unpaid interest.

If a Noteholder elects to convert its note under these circumstances, the
conversion price for notes:

      o     issued in the initial  closing on November  14, 2007 shall be $3.05;
            and

      o     issued  in any  additional  closings  shall be the  lesser  of a 20%
            premium  above the average of the  closing  bid and asked  prices of
            shares of the Common  Stock  quoted in the  Over-The-Counter  Market
            Summary (or, if the  Issuer's  shares are traded on the Nasdaq Stock
            Market  or  another  exchange,  the  closing  price of shares of the
            Common Stock  quoted on such  exchange)  averaged  over five trading
            days prior to the respective additional closing date.

Payment of the notes will be automatically accelerated if the Issuer enters
voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.

The notes and Common Stock into which they may be converted have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
or any state, local, or foreign securities laws. As a result, offers and sales
of the notes were made pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act and
only to accredited investors that were existing stockholders of the Issuer.

In addition, if the Issuer proposes to file a registration statement to register
any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public
offering of such securities solely for cash, subject to certain limitations, the
Issuer must give each Noteholder who has converted its notes into Common Stock
the opportunity to include such shares of converted Common Stock in the
registration. The Issuer has agreed to bear the expenses for any of these
registrations, exclusive of any stock transfer taxes, underwriting discounts,
and commissions.

The Convertible Secured Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement, the Form of
Convertible Secured Subordinated Promissory Note, the Registration Rights
Agreement, and the Security Agreement are attached hereto as Exhibits 4, 5, 6,
and 7, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Except as may be set forth herein, the Reporting Person has no plans or
proposals which would relate or result in any of the matters set forth below:

      (a)   the  acquisition  by any  person  of  additional  securities  of the
            Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;

      (b)   an   extraordinary   corporate   transaction,   such  as  a  merger,
            reorganization,  or liquidation,  involving the Issuer or any of its
            subsidiaries;

      (c)   a sale or transfer  of a material  amount of assets of the Issuer or
            any of its subsidiaries;

      (d)   any change in the present  Board of Directors or  management  of the
            Issuer,  including  any plans or  proposals  to change the number or
            term of the  Issuer's  Board of  Directors  or to fill any  existing
            vacancies thereon;

      (e)   any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy
            of the Issuer;

      (f)   any other  material  change in the  Issuer's  business or  corporate
            structure;

      (g)   changes   in  the   Issuer's   charter,   bylaws,   or   instruments
            corresponding   thereto  or  other  actions  which  may  impede  the
            acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;

      (h)   causing a class of  securities  of the Issuer to be delisted  from a
            national  securities  exchange  or to cease to be  authorized  to be
            quoted in an inter-dealer  quotation system of a registered national
            securities association;

      (i)   a class of equity  securities  of the Issuer  becoming  eligible for
            termination  of  registration  pursuant  to Section  12(g)(4) of the
            Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or

      (j)   any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) The Reporting Person beneficially owns 3,648,101 shares of Common Stock,
which represents approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock.

(b) The Reporting Person has sole power to vote or to direct the vote and sole
power to dispose or to direct the disposition of all 3,648,101 shares of Common
Stock reported in Item 5(a) of this Schedule 13D.

                                                                       Exhibit 4

                               SMART ONLINE, INC.
             AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT AND AGREEMENT

      THIS  AMENDMENT  NO. 1 TO  STOCK  PURCHASE  WARRANT  AND  AGREEMENT  (this
"Amendment"), effective as of February 20, 2008, is made and entered into by and
between Smart Online,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation (the "Company"),  and Atlas
Capital SA, a Swiss business organization ("Holder").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

      WHEREAS,  on November 13, 2006, the Holder issued an  irrevocable  standby
letter of credit (the "Wachovia  Letter of Credit") to secure a revolving credit
arrangement  (the "Wachovia Line of Credit") for the Company with Wachovia Bank,
NA ("Wachovia") in the amount of $1.3 million.

      WHEREAS,  on January 24,  2007,  the Company  increased  the amount of the
Wachovia  Line of Credit by $1.2 million and Wachovia  required a  corresponding
$1.2 million  increase in the Holder's  Wachovia Letter of Credit (the "Wachovia
Letter of Credit Increase").

      WHEREAS,  as  consideration  for the  Holder's  agreement  to the Wachovia
Letter of Credit  Increase,  the Holder and the  Company  agreed to enter into a
Stock  Purchase  Warrant and  Agreement  dated  January  15, 2007 (the  "Warrant
Agreement"),  which  represents  the issuance of a stock  purchase  warrant (the
"Warrant") to the Holder convertible into common stock of the Company at a price
of $2.70 (the "Exercise Price").

      WHEREAS,  the Company has paid off the Wachovia Line of Credit and entered
into a new  revolving  credit  arrangement  (the  "Paragon Line of Credit") with
Paragon Commercial Bank on February 20, 2008.

      WHEREAS, the Wachovia Letter of Credit has been released from securing the
Wachovia  Line of Credit,  and the Holder has issued a new  irrevocable  standby
letter of credit to secure the Paragon  Line of Credit (the  "Paragon  Letter of
Credit").

      WHEREAS,  the Warrant Agreement  currently provides that the Warrant shall
be exercisable at the Holder's option: (a) at any time the Company is in default
under the Wachovia Line of Credit or (b) within thirty (30) business days of the
termination  of the  Wachovia  Line of  Credit;  and that if the  Warrant is not
exercised  within thirty (30) business days of the  termination  of the Wachovia
Line of Credit,  all rights and  obligations  of the  parties  under the Warrant
Agreement and the Warrant shall terminate.

      WHEREAS,  in  consideration  of the Holder  issuing the Paragon  Letter of
Credit, the Company has agreed to amend the Warrant Agreement to change the term
of the Warrant such that it shall be exercisable  (a) at any time the Company is
in default under the Paragon Letter of Credit or (b) within thirty (30) business
days of the termination of the Paragon Line of Credit.



      NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
set forth  below,  and other good and  valuable  consideration,  the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby  acknowledged,  the Company and the Holder agree
that the Warrant Agreement shall be amended as follows:

1.    All  references  in Section 1.2 of the Warrant  Agreement  to the "Line of
      Credit" shall mean the Paragon Line of Credit.

2.    Except as specifically amended above, the Warrant Agreement shall continue
      to be in full force and effect and is hereby in all respects  ratified and
      confirmed.

3.    This Amendment has been executed,  delivered and accepted at, and shall be
      deemed  to have  been  made  in,  the  State  of  Delaware  and  shall  be
      interpreted in accordance  with the internal laws (as opposed to conflicts
      of laws provisions) of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles
      of conflicts of laws.

4.    This  Amendment  may be  executed in several  counterparts,  each of which
      shall be an original and all of which  together  shall  constitute but one
      and the same.
