• I can't pay my VAT - don't go to an insolvency practitioner
An insolvency practitioner's job is not to protect your business - it's to protect your creditors. Explore other options first and come to us to see if we can solve the problem.

• How business finance has changed in the last 10 years
10 years ago, all business finance was from either from the banks (who wanted your house if your business failed) or from venture capitalists (who wanted big shares in your business). Getting money for your business is so much more diversified now.

• Things to be careful of when you grow your company
The biggest danger period for your company if you take out finance to grow is that you spend the money too quickly and you realise too late that your fixed costs have gone up.

• Crowdfunding - is it for you?
Crowdfunding is the biggest new entrant into business finance. What are the upsides and downsides?

• It's always darkest before the dawn - keep the belief
Running a business successfully is difficult. Sometimes, turnover can drop off a cliff and there seems to be no way out. Hang on in there because most of the time, it'll work out.

• How do I go about selling my business?
It's every entrepreneur's dream - to sell up and retire on the proceeds. But what do you have to do before taking your business to market?

• Taking credit and debit cards - should I do it?
It seems that everywhere now has a credit and debit card terminal. Is it right for your business?

• Asking for payment upfront - taboo or the new way forward?
Many businesses suffer from late payment issues. Other businesses refuse to provide products and services without payment in advance. What's right for your company?
