Running your business efficiently

This session will be an introduction to running as a sole trader. We'll look at the basics of being self employed, including tax returns, bookkeeping, business expenses and all the really exciting stuff that needs to happen in the background.

I have worked in community business development for 12 years. Working with all kinds of social enterprises from tiny support groups to national charities, helping through the sometimes complex world of governance, policies, procedures, insurance, funding and the boring but necessary stuff you need to run effectively.
