Viewpoint by Len Tondel, from 1st August 2017
By
way of explanation. The
term 'home business' consists of two words.
'Business' is the second one; it's there to
qualify and support the word 'home' and all
that goes with it - and not vice versa. Consequently,
we also list below, items which are of interest
and value to the home. Whether in its context
as an office or as a part of your family and
lifestyle but always
directed at the improved prospects and enjoyment
that running a business from home, in its entirety,
can bring.
For a current, multi-part
overview of
starting and running a
business from home,
go here: http://www.homebusiness.org.uk/features.htm
 31.08.2017:
Increase in numbers of over-55s running a business.
The number of firms run by the over-55s
has gone up by 63% in the past decade, according
to research from Barclays Business. There has
also been a 140% rise in the number of business
owners aged 65 and older, making it the fastest-growing
age group for business owners. Overall, new
firms set up by the over-55s in 2015 added more
than £7 billion to the UK economy in the
following year. Separate research from Moore
Stephens has also revealed that 21% of directors
of small and medium-sized firms are now over
the state retirement age of 65, with poor retirement
planning partly responsible for the rise in
the number of directors working past retirement
age. (EnterpriseQuest)

Pound
almost at parity with the euro as it falls to

What 'Pacific crisis'? The one being Trumped
up by the US murder industry and its Coalition
of Evil cohorts and propaganda stooges? And
the £ was heading for parity with the
euro immediately the country's so-called 'majority'
voted for Brexit. And deliberately so, many
experts would say.

Skills shortage among UK services firms at its
worst in almost two decades, finds survey.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/skills-shortage-among-uk-services-firms-at-its-worst-in-almost-two-decades-finds-survey-a7913001.html
Ah, well. With the present regime at the
helm, matters can only get worse!
Small
firms missing out on government contracts.
http://www.taxpayersalliance.com/reforming_public_sector_procurement
A report from the TaxPayers' Alliance has highlighted
the difficulties facing smaller firms bidding
for government contracts. According to the 'Reforming
Public Sector Procurement' report, 52% of government
contracts awarded in 2015 were worth €100
million or more, meaning the UK is "over-reliant"
on large companies such as Capita, Atos and
G4S. Small and medium-sized firms received around
27p in every £1 of procurement spending
on government contracts in 2014/15. However,
60% of procurement with smaller firms is classified
as indirect, meaning it only reaches them via
a larger contractor. (EnterpriseQuest)
And
of course, small firms aren't corporate murderers
who have greased politicians' arses, either.

UK
house price growth slows despite strong job

In fact, it's no surprise at all if the
country's fake news media, including the BBC
- the British (and American and Israeli) Bropaganda
Corporation - reported the so-called 'strong
job market' as it really is. Because under the
present regime jobs do not = shekels. So let's
have an informed assessment from a respected
source (i.e. not the BBC): http://truepublica.org.uk/united-kingdom/rise-bad-jobs/

https://www.aol.co.uk/money/2017/08/29/weaker-pound-behind-drop-in-uk-tourists-visiting-ireland/
Or could it be down to recent reporting that

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-latest-michel-barnier-david-davis-talks-discussions-transition-article-50-a7916936.html
Hardly surprising. Little Ingerlandt's Brexit

Honest, conscientious and intelligent Brits
have been leaving their country in their millions

regimes of war criminals threw in their hand

That's why a significant number of those remaining
(allegedly) voted for Brexit. The stupid, gullible

anything consumed in significant quantities

came along, never has the consumer been so duped
into feeling so universally 'empowered' yet
been so universally thick and so universally
exploited.

series of papers setting out its plans for the
UK’s relationship with the EU after Brexit.
The first paper includes proposals for a new
customs relationship with the EU. Under the
proposals, the UK will create a new customs
partnership with the EU in order to align its
approach and remove the need for a UK-EU customs
border. The paper also proposes an interim period
after the UK leaves the EU when customs arrangements
would remain broadly the same as they are now.
This would ensure that firms in the UK only
have to adjust to one new customs relationship.
Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament’s
lead coordinator on Brexit, has dismissed the
proposals as a “fantasy”. (EnterpriseQuest)

Google
improves AdWords for mobile. https://iabuk.net/news/google-adwords-updates-to-benefit-digital-marketers
Google has launched a range of new features
as part of its AdWords service to help marketers
and small traders better target their mobile
ads. Google AdWords is an online advertising
service that can be used to set up advertising
campaigns and boost website traffic. The new
features will allow brands to adapt their ad
content so it is more readable and likely to
be seen by consumers using a smartphone. Marketers
and small traders will also be able to add ‘sitelinks’
to their ads, which are additional links that
take consumers to a specific page on an advertiser’s
website, such as for details about opening hours
or a particular product page. (EnterpriseQuest)

Big
rise in construction false self-employment.
http://www.unitetheunion.org/news/huge-rise-in-bogus-self-employment-demonstrates-urgent-need-for-radical-employment-reforms/
Unite has called for reforms to employment law
to tackle false self-employment in the construction
sector. False self-employment occurs when an
employer classes its workers as self-employed
in order to avoid paying income tax, National
Insurance contributions and employee benefits.
This is despite the fact that workers are effectively
treated as employees. Around 1.1 million construction
workers were paid via the Construction Industry
Scheme (CIS) in 2016/17, up 8% from the previous
year, which Unite claims is due to false self-employment.
Overall, 47% of the construction workforce is
paid via CIS. (EnterpriseQuest)

Just 20% of firms and 30% of charities are aware
that cheque imaging will be rolled out across
UK banks and building societies from October
2017, research by the Cheque and Credit Clearing
Company (C&CCC) has revealed. By July 2018
every bank and building society in the UK will
offer cheque imaging. This will reduce the clearing
time of cheques from six working days to a single
working day and could enable banks to allow
customers to pay in images of cheques via mobile
banking apps. (EnterpriseQuest)
Adjudicator
not doing enough to support suppliers. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/629020/gca-statutory-review-2013-16.pdf
The Department for Business has published the
findings of its first review into the effectiveness
of the Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA), which
was set up in 2013 to improve the relationship
between the ten largest supermarkets and their
suppliers. The review has revealed that a significant
number of suppliers do not raise issues with
the GCA due to worries that there will be commercial
consequences, such as a supermarket changing
suppliers. Nevertheless, the review claims that
the GCA is effectively enforcing the groceries
code, and that the number of suppliers who are
experiencing issues with their supermarket customers
fell to 56% in 2017, down from 79% in 2014.

Fake Brit Tories sold it to the Americans and
it's now known as Little Ingerlandt County,

Is this another downside the Brexit Knobhead
camp and its lying, hate-preaching, fake news
propaganda didn't warn about in the run-up to
the referendum?

Report
examines the creative workforce. https://www.creativeindustriesfederation.com/news/federation-launches-new-drive-support-creative-freelance-workforce
The Creative Industries Federation has published
a report which makes a number of recommendations
for Government to help support creative freelancers.
The 'Creative Freelancers' report reveals that
47% of workers in the creative sector are self-employed
(compared with 14% of the UK workforce as a
whole) and that many feel they are often ignored
by Government policy. The federation recommends
that Government should support a UK-wide hub
which signposts freelancers to specialist business
advice and support services, and ensure that
creative workspaces can't be changed into residential
properties without planning permission. (EnterpriseQuest)
