http://www.startups.co.uk/tax-and-accounts en-gb http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 20 I have just started my own company selling niche and bespoke kitchen products. My customer base is growing and I now deal with more and more suppliers. Whilst this is great, I am finding it very difficult to manage my cashflow as I have lots of outstanding invoices at any given time. What can I do to manage this without annoying customers over late payments? http://www.startups.co.uk/cashflow-balancing-act_1.html http://www.startups.co.uk/cashflow-balancing-act_1.html Wed, 19 Aug 2009 13:25:22 GMT Business At what stage does a self-employed person have to start paying National Insurance? http://www.startups.co.uk/bit-on-the-side.html http://www.startups.co.uk/bit-on-the-side.html Tue, 12 May 2009 11:22:51 GMT Business I’m under 16 and have started my own online business venture. I’ve tried to register as self-employed but you need a NI number to do that. I’m a bit unsure of my tax liabilities and don’t want to get caught out. Do I even have to pay any tax or national insurance on my profits, or can I keep 100% of my earnings until I’m 16? http://www.startups.co.uk/tax-for-under-16s_1.html http://www.startups.co.uk/tax-for-under-16s_1.html Mon, 30 Mar 2009 10:46:01 GMT Business I’m a supplier to several large corporate organisations and while payment terms have always been an issue, it’s getting increasingly difficult to negotiate anything less than 90 days. I don’t want to put off repeat sales but how can I encourage faster payment terms while making sure my clients are still willing to spend with me in the future? http://www.startups.co.uk/waiting-game.html http://www.startups.co.uk/waiting-game.html Wed, 18 Feb 2009 11:30:21 GMT Business
