    How to grow?

    We had had a good business year with plenty of work coming in for my husband. The question is, how do we grow from here? I have been putting off actively seeking new clients as my husband doesn't have any more time to take them on. The answer surely, would be to employ another consultant. Which...

    Shares and dividends

    My partner and I both have 50 ordinary shares each. My partners wage will be part dividend every month but I don't want to take a dividend as well. Do I need to change my shares to a different class and if so how? Thankyou.

    Expenses and receipts

    We are trading as a Ltd company from next week. I understand that fuel expenses are claimed back as mileage and we cannot claim the VAT back on fuel. Do we still need to keep the fuel receipts? Also am I right in assuming that expenses aren't taxable? Cheers :D

    It's been a few years since I did manual book keeping. I've got a Cathedral analysis book and haven't a clue what to put where. One page has narrow columns and one has wider columns. Can someone please point me in the right direction before I go insane!:D

    I am in West Yorkshire. We are using the lounge as an office for the time being but would prefer to locate it in the garden if possible.
