Why your numbers matter

February 2, 2020 By Lesley Anne Rubenstein-Pessok

Why keeping your accounts up to date could mean all the difference between running a successful business, limping along, or failing.

Would you fly a plane while wearing a blindfold?

I ask new clients ‘Would you fly a plane while wearing a blindfold?’. They look at me confused, and always reply ‘No, of course not!’. At this point they are probably wondering why they hired me. Stupid question, right? Wrong! Here’s why:

A significant proportion of my clients proffer similar responses when I start to investigate their bookkeeping and accounting methodology. They invariably tell me that they hand over receipts to their bookkeeper and once a year the accounts are resolved and sent to HMRC, usually at the last minute. Many then look confused again when I don’t look happy with their response.

Why am I not happy? Because their accounts are typically 17 months out of date or worse. They have been led to believe that the accounts are for tax purposes, rather than as a managerial tool. This means that they know what to pay HMRC, if at all, but not how their business is doing, day to day, month on month, quarter on quarter and year on year.

They will be signing accounts that contain information on what the business earned over a year ago! Most can’t tell the difference between cashflow and profit and loss. They believe if there is money in the bank, all’s well, without knowing how profitable the business is, because often they do not know their true costs.

This means that they are managing businesses without knowing overall if it is profitable or not, which parts of it are more profitable than other parts, which parts are losing money, etc. Is this not similar to flying a plane while wearing a blindfold? What if your business isn’t profitable? Wouldn’t you want to know that and be able to make decisions in real-time about how to proceed?

What parts of your business are profitable?

Many businesses comprise a number of profit-making areas. Let’s look at a chain of cafes, for example. Their lunch menu may be less profitable than their dinner menu. They may have an adjoining shop where they make more money selling home-baked items compared with canned goods which carries less of a margin. However, they need to stock the canned goods as their Italian tinned olives are a best-seller and draws people into the café who then might stop for a coffee and slice of cake.

By keeping up-to-date accounts and reviewing periodically (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually) different patterns will emerge. They may discover that Monday evening’s are the quietest, and/or that between 2pm and 4.30pm there is very little business during the week. January is their worst month, July, August and December are their best months, etc. This, in turn, could lead to changes in marketing and promotions at certain times of day, week or month.

They may decide to sell a product below cost, termed a ‘loss-leader’, because they know that clients who purchase the tinned olives, also purchase the highly profitable olive oil so selling the tinned olives below cost during their weakest season may bring in clients who purchase other much more profitable shop items and then may decide to stay for lunch, etc.

How does the cafe example relate to your business?

If only you were sat opposite me now! I would ask you to think about this question. Do you know which parts of your business are more profitable than others? Have you noticed, via your up-to-date accounts, if there is seasonality in your business? Are there times when you are busier than others? Was it the same last year and the year before? What changes can you make to counteract the slow seasons? Do you know which types of clients are timewasters and which truly appreciate your value-add and are more profitable? If you had this knowledge, how could you use it?

What about costs?

Surprisingly, many clients do not know their true costs. For example, I worked with a software development company for the duration of a year. During our initial sessions I noticed that the person who created the client quote for the development work and the project manager who managed the staff carrying out the work were not the same person.

The project manager’s team comprised junior and senior developers, which meant that there were differences in the team members’ costs per hour. There were no controls in place, and no-one thought to compare the quote to the actual costs during or even after the project ended. Indeed, the time invested by each staff person wasn’t measured. This meant that they didn’t know the actual costs of the project and therefore couldn’t use that information in the future, when similar projects were being quoted.

It was clear that they business could be losing money on any given project and if the project was of significant duration, the risks were increased. The fact is, they didn’t know either way. Flying a plane while wearing a blindfold comes to mind. Know your costs – it’s crucial! I feel like I’m shouting – but that’s because I’m passionate about this topic, so please forgive me.

Management Reports

When your accounts are up to date and you have access to the software (note I wrote ‘software’ and I don’t mean excel sheets!), you will be able to generate reports at the press of a button. You’ll be able to see profit and loss by month, quarter, current year and fiscal year. You will be able to see who hasn’t paid their invoice on time, which clients are spending more with you versus others. You could separate clients by type if you created categories for your various revenue sources. You could even review your costs and this could lead to switching suppliers and saving costs. Saving costs means more profit!

In Short

I do hope I have made a case for ensuring your books are up to date and if so, how the information can be used as a managerial tool rather than for checking what you owe Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs. There is much more to your accounts than paying tax!

Boost your exports – Tips for SMEs

February 2, 2020 By Gemma Clarke

One of the biggest assets to grow your exports is free – THE U.K. FLAG – are you making the most of it?

500 years ago, if a ship arrived offshore, would you run for the hills or fire up a feast? It’s pretty likely you’d make a snap judgement based upon the flag you saw flying – and how fast you could run.

A similar scenario still plays out if your product or brand is unknown when it reaches an export market for the first time. A customer will look for your flag.

If your brand is relatively unknown and the perception of the U.K. as the ‘Country of Origin’ is positive in your target market, then leverage it.

Not just a ‘MADE IN THE U.K….‘ (or DESIGNED IN THE U.K.) on pack, but print the U.K. flag on packaging, build it into presentations and leverage iconic images from the U.K. on social.

Landscapes, buildings, celebrities, you name it. It works. I’ve seen the boost it can make to a company’s sales many times.

‘MADE IN THE U.K.’ not only plays an important role in first impressions, it also influences purchase decisions and margins. The Harvard Business Review confirms that:

Your ‘Country of Origin’ influences perceived product benefits. Even before you open the pack or twist the corkscrew, you have a sense of how good that product is going to be for you. French wine, Belgian chocolate, British design and fashion, Swiss watches. MADE IN THE U.K. is a great competitive advantage we have.
Your ‘Country of Origin’ influences perceived quality and durability. British goods and services are perceived as good quality and built to last. Not always true of course, but that’s the general perception. In contrast, Chinese manufacturers have had to work really hard to change the perception that MADE IN CHINA means cheap and throw-away.
and because of these perceptions, MADE IN THE U.K. influences price expectations. Your overseas will not expect the cheapest price (although they will negotiate for sure!), they are buying because their customers want the feeling of ‘Buying British.’ It says something about them. It suggests they are cool, discerning, cosmopolitan.

And the ‘Country of Origin’ of your brand is more important than the ‘Country of Origin’ of your product.

So don’t worry if you outsource manufacture, DESIGNED IN THE U.K. will still work for you.

Wherever the perception of the U.K. is stronger than your brand in the beginning, take advantage of what is all around us. FLY THE FLAG, it works.

HMRC taxing Contractors deemed as Employees (IR35)

January 9, 2020 By Edward Tudor

IR35 in the Public Sector

How could this affect your business?

Introduction

IR35 is a piece of legislation that allows HMRC to collect additional payment where a contractor is an employee in all but name.

If a contractor is operating through an intermediary, such as a limited company, and but for that intermediary they would be an employee of their client, IR35 applies.

New rules for IR35 will apply from the 1^st of April 2020 in the Private Sector as they have been applied in the Public Sector for the last two years.

Each business needs to assess the Risk and implications of these new rules and make the necessary changes to procedures before early April 2020.

Who will be affected in the Private Sector?

Medium and Large Companies will be the initial target of the IR35 rules and they will follow the rules that now apply in the Public Sector.

Small businesses do not have a definition for IR35 but the definition will probably follow the criteria in Companies Act 2006.

How will IR35 affect your Business?

Changes will affect businesses who engage Personal Service Companies (PSCs) to provide workers. This will include intermediaries including Private Limited Companies, Limited Liability Partnerships and Partnerships. The new rules require the private sector organisation to assess the intermediary to see if the IR35 rules apply to the service contracts they enter into with a PSC.

Where IR35 applies the employer must apply PAYE and NIC deductions to the payment for the worker’s services.

This means that the worker is a deemed employee for tax purposes. This also means that you must also account for Employer’s National Insurance and possibly the Apprenticeship Levy.

These changes will almost certainly increase the operating costs of your business:

As a result of being the Fee payer
Because intermediaries will increase their charges to mitigate the increases in tax and National Insurance.

There is an outstanding consultation on employment status which has had no response from government yet.

We suspect that HMRC will expect businesses to use the CEST test to make the assessment.

CEST is short for Check Employment Status for Tax.

It’s a digital tool designed by HMRC to help public authorities decide if a worker falls inside or outside the scope of IR35

When to use the tool

Use the tool to check employment status when:

you are hiring a worker directly
you or the intermediary you work through accepts a new engagement with a client
you are a public authority or limited company hiring a worker and paying for the services of a worker who works through an intermediary
you are an agency or other third party supplying a worker who works for a public authority through an intermediary
there has been a change to an existing contract or service agreement
your worker disagrees with a determination you have provided them

Choose answers that best match the usual working practices of the engagement.

Before you start

You will need to know:

details of the contract
the worker’s responsibilities
who decides what work needs doing
who decides when, where and how the work is done
how the worker will be paid
if the engagement includes any corporate benefits or reimbursement for expenses

If you do not know who the worker is, the tool will not ask questions about the worker’s circumstances. You will still get a determination that HMRC will stand by.

Preparing for IR35 in the Private Sector

The new legislation comes into force in April 2020 which is only a few months away so you should consider the impact on your business and how it will affect your payroll and PAYE compliance procedures.

To start, establish:

The Personal Service Companies you use.
Where you use them I your business.
How you use them
Their importance to the functioning of the parts of your business.
The current contracts you have in place and their Terms of Service.

Once you have this information you should review the contracts to ensure that you comply with IR35.

It is critical that you know which parts of your business are affected by PSC’s as this will affect your business risk assessment.

You may need to renegotiate the contact with the PSC or have to employ a worker to take over the work.

These reforms could increase your operating costs considerably and have an affect on the way your business will operate.

The earlier you start this IR35 assessment the more time you will have to ameliorate the affects of IR35.

How can we help?

UK Business Advisors can work with you and your key suppliers to identify any risks in your business. We can help you assess the financial impact on your business and help you change your operational procedures where necessary to minimise the impact of the new legislation. This will provide a basis for compliance with future changes.

Important employment law changes coming in April 2020

January 5, 2020 By Stephen Cowburn

As the New Year dawns, some changes to the detail of your employment contracts, leave arrangements and holiday pay will need to be made in April. Furthermore you will need to start to think about how you are going to resource your business with changes in how ‘temps’ are paid and, further down the line, how your company is going to employ contractors.

Employment contracts

Two changes may be necessary depending on your current contracts and your process for issuing them to new starters after April 6^th 2020.

Firstly, all new starters (including employees, zero hours’ workers, casual and seasonal workers) after this date need to be issued with a written statement on or before the first day of employment (rather than within the first 8 weeks of employment as is currently the case)

Secondly, for new employment contracts issued after 6^th April 2020, the mandatory information that needs to be included has been extended to include the following:

normal hours of work, days of the week the worker will be required to work and whether these days/hours may vary
forms of paid leave such as family-friendly leave
details of other employee benefits, not just those relating to pay, such as benefits in kind or financial benefits
terms relating to probationary periods including those in relation to the length of probation and conditions pertaining during the probationary period and what happens on successful and unsuccessful completion of the probationary period
details of training provision and requirements.

ACTION: Ensure your processes ensure new starters have their written statement on or before their first day of employment and that the statement includes the additional mandatory information.

Holiday pay

From 6^th April the reference period will be extended from the current 12 weeks to 52 weeks to allow a fairer approach to holiday pay when workers carry out flexible working hours. This means that a day’s holiday pay will need to reflect an average day’s ordinary pay over the average of the previous year’s earnings to ensure that the individual is not penalised for going on holiday.

Although not a change (though bear in mind that case law is continually clarifying the position), where there are additional payments such as overtime or profit related pay or regular commissions or other such payments and these are ‘sufficiently regular and settled’ and so effectively amount to ‘wages or salary’ then these will count as normal remuneration and should be taken into account for holiday pay calculations if needs be going back 52 weeks.

ACTION: Determine whether various types of remuneration form part of a worker’s ordinary pay by considering whether it is sufficiently regular and settled or whether it is exceptional or not usually paid.

Bereavement leave

After 6^th April 2020, a bereaved parent will be able to take statutory bereavement leave of at least two weeks if the employee suffers a stillbirth after 24 weeks of pregnancy or loses a child below the age of 18.

ACTION: Update the leave section of your Employee Handbook to include this provision.

Resourcing your business

Two changes are in the air – one effective in April regarding ‘temps’, the other down the line, regarding use of contingent workers, which will affect larger private sector businesses from April and likely the SME sector in coming years.

Temps

From April 6^th 2020, all agency workers (those provided by an employment business) will become entitled to equal pay when compared to comparable full-time employees, once they have reached 12 weeks’ service within one assignment. Whereas the employment business (‘agency’) will have to notify the worker of this, you the SME end-user need to be aware of this potential increase in cost as you plan the relevant assignments.

Contingent workers

From April 2020 large (more than 250 employees) private sector employers are being told to ask themselves whether their contingent worker is really an employee and so assess if the worker is covered by IR35 rules and, if so, to make the appropriate tax and NIC deductions at source.

It is important to note that this only affects large organisations this year. It is likely to impact smaller businesses in the future.

ACTION: Be careful on how you use temps to avoid a sudden, unexpected increase in cost. Where you rely on using specialists on a regular basis consider what changes you may have to make to fall within the rules as they are rolled out in the coming years.

Changes to statutory rates

On different dates in April, as in previous years, the following statutory rates will change due either to government policy or inflationary revisions.

Statutory rates for Sick Pay, Maternity, Paternity, Adoption and Shared Parental Leave Pay are all likely to increase. New rates relating to the national living/minimum wage have also just been announced. From April 2020, the new rates are: The National Living Wage for ages 25 and above – up 6.2% to £8.72. The National Minimum Wage for 21 to 24-year-olds – up 6.5% to £8.20. For 18 to 20-year-olds – up 4.9% to £6.45.

Some of these changes will affect all businesses across the board and are part of the on-going changes to statutory terms and conditions. Other changes are more nuanced, and the impact on your business will need to be based around the facts relating to your specific circumstances.

Preparing for BREXIT if you export to the EU

January 5, 2020 By Gemma Clarke

Start with an EORI number

Do you currently export with all or some of your international sales focused upon the EU? If that is the case, then after the UK leaves the EU, those firms that trade with the EU will need an economic operator registration and identification (EORI) number to comply with customs rules.

A lot of EU-focused exporters have yet to apply for their EORI – so now’s a good time to prepare for the future. Here’s a link to double-check if you’re all set, or guidance on applying for your EORI – a good thing to get sorted so you can get back to growing your exports. https://www.gov.uk/eori

How BREXIT might affect you

The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has predicted that BREXIT could lead to tariffs of 4% being imposed on goods traded with the EU – up from zero currently – and that higher trade barriers with the EU would “weigh on exports”. The OBR added this was “not necessarily the most likely outcome” but also “by no means the worst case scenario.” (They might have also added…’we’re covering all of the bases….’)

So what does that potentially mean for UK SME’s?

Your prices to EU customers could rise by 4%+
More paperwork and documentation
A squeeze on margins
Increased competition?

Painful and frustrating but not exactly new. You are faced with these factors regularly, and you deal with them. In fact, BREXIT might be the perfect trigger to have a good review of your business:

Maybe a renewed focus upon added-value and differentiation?
A review of potential cost-savings?
A review of marketing budgets, products and routes to market – shortening supply-chains, getting closer to customers and suppliers?
Building a closer relationship, and perhaps an opportunity for renegotiation with international partners?

If you have not done so already, now is the time to really start preparing for BREXIT….starting with that EORI number.

Are you ready to put your STAMP on 2020?

January 5, 2020 By Gavin McWhirter

Strategy Targets Accounts Marketing People

However you voted in December, and whatever your preferred outcome, we know the UK will be leaving the EU on 31st January. The clock starts on the transition period… but don’t worry, this is not a Brexit rant! The start of every New Year is the perfect time to restock your thought-bank, recharge your batteries and do some planning.

Here’s how you can put your STAMP on your business in 2020 by focusing on these 5 important areas:

Strategy

Most small businesses do not have an up-to-date business plan, which means they tend to focus only on shorter-term outcomes. And as the Cheshire Cat in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland once said, “If you don’t know where you are going, any road can take you there.” The classic result is an initial feeling that you are responding to the market and widening the range of services you provide, but this soon develops into a business spread so wide that it’s impossible for potential customers to define what you are really good at. Sound familiar? Then it’s time to update your 5 year business plan, and ideally get some external input to the process.

Targets

A strategy without a plan is just a pipe dream. Once you know what you want the business to look like in a few years from now, you need to break this down so the different functions in the business are all working to achieve that same goal. That includes being realistic about the costs that will be incurred in order to achieve growth, and the timetable.

And this means targets. Every business is different and it may mean daily or weekly targets, but as an absolute minimum the business must have monthly targets, whether this is for sales, profitability, gross margin achieved or numbers of new key accounts opened.

Accounts

If you do not fully understand the financial accounts of your business, this section is here to scream at you to do something about it. A study in the US in 2018 suggested that 82% of small businesses that fail do so because of cash-flow problems, which means that many of those failures could have been prevented had the owner managed their cash position better.

This is not just a gentle prod to start the year with a clear understanding of your financial accounts, it is a proper kick. Talk to your bookkeeper or accountant about how you might work together to improve the reporting so it is clearer. Maybe take an online course on business financial management. Do you know which customers are the most profitable? How much does it cost you to acquire a new customer? What is the average spend of your customers? Who are you highest value customers? Do you understand the costs in your business, and the profit margin for every product?

And, as it’s up-and-coming, make sure to submit your own tax return before the 31st January 2020 deadline.

Marketing

Marketing is a core area of the business and one where many people struggle. Although it sounds gobsmackingly obvious, it is shocking how often companies are not able to succinctly describe what they do. Add in ‘who’ they do it for, and ‘why’ customers buy from them, and it starts to expose more than just cracks.

I am a big fan of the value proposition, and have been working with companies for over a decade to help them develop a clear set of messages that describe what it is they do, who they do it for and why they should buy from them rather than someone else. It is rarely straightforward and it is exceptionally hard to do on your own.

The process of developing a value proposition also forces you to clarify who you are targeting. Don’t be tempted to go broad and try to have an all encompassing value proposition. Much better to be focused and niche. It is perfectly acceptable to have several variations of your value proposition, for different segments of customer.

Once you have clarity on your value proposition, and the target audience for that message, developing a marketing campaign to reach that specific segment becomes much more straightforward.

People

Now while a business must have a clear strategy, without great people it’s meaningless. Peter Drucker famously said: “Culture eats strategy for breakfast” and it is absolutely true for companies both large and small. The people in your business make it work, or break it. It is never easy, and it never stops evolving. Structure can help, but the single most important factor is a set of values that genuinely governs how you work. It must emanate from the leadership team, and it should define who you employ. Sure you need skills, but do not hire on skills alone. Probe and test people about the cultural fit, and if they are wide of the mark do not hire them, however smart they are on paper.
