The latest in a
series of online, bite-sized videos for new and small businesses
is now available to download free.
Episode three in the “Start Up Diaries” series follows recent
developments in the lives of three budding entrepreneurs – Ruth,
Nick and Hannah.
The video diary series provides a unique insight – in the trio’s
own words – into how they’ve coped with the ups and downs of going
it alone. It can be viewed or downloaded free from the Business
Link website at www.businesslink.gov.uk/taxhelp,
and is essential viewing for anyone who’s recently started up in
business, or is thinking of doing so.
HMRC recently launched a range of 10 video guides, fronted by TV
presenter Dan Snow, which provide a helpful overview on a range of
key tax issues. These include: setting up in business, income tax
for the self-employed, corporation tax, and VAT. They can also be
downloaded for free from www.businesslink.gov.uk/taxhelp.
