    Why are owner withdrawals a credit to the cash account?

    He's never even held a job outside of government (local or national). And this is our Secretary of State for Business!

    What government / third sector / private industry resources exist in the UK for those looking to establish a startup / SME / early stage?

    What is the role of seller finance in a business acquisition?

    No, I was just curious as to what the incentives for seller finance are. I know we have director's loans accounts on UK company books for e.g., but not sure what the restrictions are.

    I know, right? Maybe it's worth finding interactive webinars instead, even on the likes of Zoom, what are the best places to find courses in the above (i.e. Business Analysis, Systems Thinking and Design Thinking) that won't break the bank?

    What government / third sector / private industry resources exist in the UK for those looking to establish a startup / SME / early stage?

    What government / third sector / private industry resources exist in the UK for those looking to establish a startup / SME / early stage?

    Indeed, Mark.

If I may probe slightly, were the start-up courses well received by the course...
