The Benefits of Employee Benefits

Employee benefits are a great way for businesses to attract and retain employees, as well as improve retention and enhance staff wellbeing. As the saying goes - "to win in the marketplace, you must first win in the workplace." An increasing number of businesses are now offering benefits far beyond just a workplace pension in a bid to differentiate themselves from other employers and retain the best talent.

MBO: Friend Or Foe?

Planning a business exit is far from simple and it is important to know which exit route will work best for you. Finding the right buyer can be a challenge but sometimes, what you’re looking for can be right in front of you. A management buyout (MBO) i.e. selling your business to your existing management team, presents many advantages; you know and trust those who will be taking over, they know the ins and outs of the business already and the preservation of your company culture is a given.

MTD & VAT: Are you ready?

There has been much uncertainty around the long-awaited MTD. One thing, however, is sure: as of April 2019, businesses with a turnover above the VAT threshold (£85,000) will need to keep digital records (for VAT purposes only) and provide their VAT return information to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) through Making Tax Digital (MTD) functional compatible software.
