Welcome to our latest blog….

“The hardest thing in the world to understand is income tax” – Albert Einstein.

Cash Flow  is the biggest reason that businesses fail so it is essential that you have a “Credit Policy” in place to ensure that you are doing everything possible. Do you check out your clients before supplying them? If not this could be one of the biggest mistakes you can make.
If you need help with any credit control matters please call us now on 0800 692 26 26

The Business Payment Support Service (BPSS) has been set up by HMRC to help businesses who are struggling to pay tax bills. They are now able to offer longer to pay your Corporation Tax, PAYE, National Insurance and VAT if you genuinely are unable to pay immediately.

Need Funding? The Government’s ‘Enterprise Finance Guarantee Scheme’ has already processed over £290m worth of loans. If you need extra capital, let us know and we’ll give you details of how to apply.

SSP, SMP, SPP & SAP Increases Please note the new rates:- SSP £79.15 and SMP, SSP and SAP are all now £123.06 per week.

IS YOUR DATA SAFE? If you don’t take backups of your data we strongly recommend that you either buy an external hard drive or consider signing up to a remote back up service. If you are one of our clients you will know that we back up all your accounting software data at the end of each session.

Is your company’s future mapped out? Do you have a business plan? If not you should seriously consider putting one together. In the current climate it is so important to map out a future. Speak to us about how we can help you. 0800 692 2626

Look out for our blog in two weeks time for further advice and also some exciting news about PCBS…..
