    Advertising on you car. Be careful.

    Are you sure? I would definitely be clarifying this with someone who knows what they're talking about (not just a customer services lackey). Surely at the worst I can only imagine it counts as a 'cosmetic modification' - perhaps declarable but unlikely to affect your premium in any meaningful...

    Few Q's regarding what an "Administrative Expense" is..

    Advertising should be fine in Administrative expenses (it isn't likely to make any significant difference to anything) Although I see your logic, this doesn't make it a Cost of Sale. Arguably without the phone lines and the internet connection you wouldn't be able to make contact with your...

    Calling all 'young' business owners

    Some excellent stuff in here - thank you all. Clearly it can both be an issue for some and a complete non-issue for others, depending on individual circumstances. Personally I'm pleased to see a lot of business owners don't perceive it to be a major issue for themselves (self-confidence)...

    Calling all 'young' business owners

    Hah! What an issue! Nor does basic schooling, in my experience, really cover some of the most important aspects of life - finances and budgeting, mortgages, housing, politics, diet and nutrition etc etc. A very valid point and I think it's a real shame our education system can be too focused on...

    Calling all 'young' business owners

    Good evening all - long time no see! I hope all is well in the UKBF community and I'm looking forward to catching up on everything (and I promise I won't mention Brexit which I'm sure is a hot topic at the moment!). Anyway, the point in the thread is to garner some views from the 'younger' side...

    What Do You Do When You're Not Working?

    Motorbiking / fast cars and a bit of amateur photography. Also, some cycling and home gym for relieving stress and keeping some semblance of fitness. If our work hours / practices could accommodate a pooch it would also be had in a heartbeat.

    Help with employment status

    May I ask why? In my humble opinion it sounds like you're providing a 'non-service' where you're trying to introduce but not really get involved in cleaners - which seems a tad strangewhen there's plenty of places to find cleaners when businesses need to. In for a penny in for a pound - why...

    Start-up VAT impact on profit

    Yes it does - as you state most of your sales are B2B anyway (but only if your customers are also VAT registered). Not VAT registered: Purchase cost £90 (incl VAT), sales price £100 (no VAT) = profit £10 VAT registered: Purchase cost £75, sales price £100 (+ VAT) = profit £25 Don't forget...

    University of Birmingham Research into Accountancy

    @E.Gardner - If I can be of any use then I'd be happy to help with your research (although I imagine by phone / email may be easier for logistical reasons ;)). I'm a late 20s qualified accountant in South Essex, worked in practice for ~9 years from trainee to manager if it helps. Just drop me...

    Accountancy Costs

    No you don't! You're the customer - it's your decision what you want :). Firstly, do you get the service you want for a price you are happy with? At the end of the day, you are trusting a professional with your financial affairs which could end up saving or costing you a good deal of money -...
