Introducing our Business Essentials service
Table of Contents
We all how much hard work it is running a small business. As a sole trader, you’re in charge of everything – your product or service, bookkeeping and marketing. And that’s just the essentials. When you employ people, you can multiply the stress by having to follow employment law, financing your growing business, dealing with the taxman and probably negotiating with landlords.
But what if something goes wrong?
Say, you find yourself in a legal dispute with a landlord? Or have HMRC querying your accounts? Or you need to borrow money fast to buy stock?
Wouldn’t you feel better knowing that your business is covered for legal costs, employment law advice and with an on-hand broker who can help you arrange fast business funding?
