    Choosing a payroll service provider?

    Hi Adam, Think there are some valid and some less valid comments here. Not sure its fair to bemoan Iris when they do provide free software. They make the profit from the premium rate support line for the free system. I also agree with the accountant comment, but as you are solely looking at...

    If you phone Sage directly, would not just give you help as you such a long standing user of their product?

    Sage Line 50 not responding

    Is it quite an old version you are using? Although I wouldnt have thought that would make any difference. I have heard in the past that sometimes if you close the system down by not exiting correctly it can freeze the software. Have you tried restoring to a back up? You might have to re-key some...

    Accountants from hell Help

    Hi Rolling Thunder, Just a thought here, and might not be the norm or even viable... but if you know quite a few HGV drivers, could you not collaborate and join forces? In other words, could you not use a bureau for the payroll, and organise a discounted rate. so if there were 10 of you, then...

    Help on paying myself (payroll, late payments, etc)

    Hi Business_rookie, if you don't fancy using an accountant or want to do it yourself, perhaps a payroll bureau would be a happy middle-ground?

    Wigan networking

    Hi all, I would be interested in this as my head office is located in Bury and I cover all the North-west. Perhaps the best way to meet would be initially to meet on a phone conference and a webex? Free and easy to organise? Regards, David

    RTI Pilot opt out?

    Hi Lentinus, Sounds a bit messy. I presume if you downloaded (attempted rather) the Iris Basics programme, you have less than 10 staff? I understand that by October when ALL businesses must be RTI compliant that the HMRC are considering another further change to actually help smaller businesses...

    Web-based Buisness advice??

    Hi, Your business idea sounds quite interesting. I think from the legal side of things, and maintaining your compliance, HR, payroll etc, it wouldnt be half as expensive as mentioned previously. Would be more than happy to help you when you get that far down the line :)
