Is it time to consider launching a new business?

Posted on February 01st, 2021 by Pro Business | No Comments

Today, as well as keeping a weather eye on the through-flow of Tax Return information as we work from home, I am making bread and doing some ironing. I am also getting a little over excited by the possibility of trying out a new recipe using veg from our weekly veg box delivery while watching

2021 might need some care and attention

Posted on December 21st, 2020 by Pro Business | No Comments

I think very few in business would claim that 2020 was the best year ever, and given the inability for many small businesses to trade, it very much looks as though 2021 isn’t going to be a walk in the park either. So, how do we go about facing an uphill climb out of recession?

AS I am writing this, some leaves are still hanging on the trees (just!) and we are starting to prepare the garden for winter. At least, that’s what we tell people. What we are actually doing is hoeing a few weeds away and burying the rest in mulch. So, that’ll ensure a good crop of

Autumn 2020, and the “New Normal” is beginning to assert itself.

I wonder what history will say about this Pandemic? Certainly it has threatened life and wellbeing in ways we couldn’t have imagined this time last year and we have all had a massive shock to the system. It has been an ‘experience’, and as I once read on the back of a matchbox, “An experience

There is no doubt that in these very peculiar circumstances we need to be flexible and able to react speedily and efficiently in business as in the rest of our lives. Nothing is certain. We are experiencing sudden and sometimes devastating changes every day and in many more ways than usual. However, whatever it looks

- We recently switched to Probusiness after being with our previous accountant for 20 years...
  
  We are very pleased with Probusiness - they have even picked up on some points in our accounts that our previous accountant had overlooked.
  
  W. H. & J (manufacturers)
- Since switching our accounts to Probusiness we have undergone a massive change in the day-to-day process of how we produce our invoices and log our accounts. This has helped us save a huge amount of time and money.

- I was terrified of accounting for my small business until I met Probusiness. They are genuine, warm, welcoming and - above all - very professional.
  
  L. K (florist)
- I deal with Probusiness on a weekly basis as they handle my bookkeeping and PAYE. They are always at the end of the phone if there are any queries.
  
  P. D (designer)
- Thanks very much for your time this morning. From my point of view it was an enjoyable, positive and constructive meeting, not the attributes I would normally associate with tax!
