    Rent room as a business office and limitations

    Thanks for the input, Paul. That's what I'm trying to find out in a sense, if it's a reasonable perspective to start a business by using a multiple occupancy house (and address), and I understand that using the home address as a business address is kind of mediocre. I consulted my accountant...

In the tax year 2017-2018, I've worked as self-employed in...

    Alternative to Kaspersky INTERNET SECURITY - Anti Virus software for business

    Don't ditch KIS, just get it renewed for another year. Nothing matches Kaspersky Internet Security at the moment, ignore the propaganda that mentioned that Kaspersky tools are a Russian monitoring tool.
