    Accounting for sponsorship

    Hi, Thank you for your reply. It has been helpful :) I think what I should do is bullet point the options and thinking behind each of them....... 1. Cash donation from us to the sponsor. There is no family connection, it is purely for our advertising/exposure in exchange. I know this will be...

    Accounting for sponsorship

    Hi, thanks for that. I had already come across that but as I am not an accountant I was hoping someone could put it into basic simple English lol Basically I am looking for the most tax efficient way to work the sponsorship deal.

    Postal insurance

    We were in the same position a year or so ago. After a bit of research we decided to use a combination of Sagepay virtual terminal and HSBC and have always had excellent service from them. Sagepay have 24hr support and have always been more than helpful when we needed to call on them. £10 + vat...
