Hi, welcome to my small business blog. I've been running my own company for over 20 years and there have been a lot of changes in that time. There have been good and not so good times but I have managed to keep going and have learnt an awful lot along the way. I'll be sharing some of my experiences with you so that you can avoid some of the mistakes that I have made during my time. If you have any top tips you'd like to share, please get in touch, I'd love to hear from you!
Is Leasing Cars For Your Business The Right Thing To Do?
Why would someone who owns a business want to lease cars instead of own them outright? Well, I asked the same question, and so I did some digging. What I found out was that there is a tax advantage to doing this that you might not have thought about. When you own a vehicle outright, you only get to claim mileage and other travel expenses on your taxes.
Businesses need dependable vehicles, so older vehicles don't cut the mustard generally speaking. Now, you might still be saying that you'd rather buy newer vehicles outright instead of leasing them and paying the interest.
How To Set Up An Employee Pension Scheme In The UK
If you have a business in the UK which employs people, you need to have an employee pension scheme. There are a number of steps that you have to take to set up the pension scheme and it is important that you know what they are.
How Long Does This Take?
Setting up a pension scheme in the UK can take up to 6 months and you need to plan for this. The process takes this long because you need to ensure that you fulfil all of the duties set out by the Pensions Regulator. If you do not fulfil all of the duties, you will face a fine.
What Is Director Disqualification?
The basic principle behind director disqualification is that company directors whose businesses fail and those who behave unethically in financial matters ought not to be allowed to hold a directorial position in other companies. Effective disqualification procedures can prevent you from functioning as a director for approximately 15 years in the future. Director disqualification is dealt with by the Insolvency Service. If you're subject to disqualification proceedings, you have 2 basic choices: You can install a complete defence in court or issue an undertaking.
The actions that might draw this sort of interest from the Insolvency Service are different. Basically unethical behaviour like co-opting business possessions for your own use, avoiding taxes, and bad financial record-keeping can all get you in trouble.

The Benefits Of Using A Specialist Recruitment Agency
Calling a specialist recruitment company is something that can help out your business or your career. If you are an individual who is currently dissatisfied with his/her place in the labour force, then contacting such an establishment can open doors for you professionally. On the other hand, if you are a company owner or manager and are having a problem with skill and labour issues in particular projects, then forming a relationship with the right recruiting company can bring in the very professionals you require.
On a private level, job searching can prove really stressful. This is especially true for specialists with advanced skills.
