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

The UK also generates a lot of dirty money of its own - from supplying and supporting war criminals and terrorists like the Israelis, Saudis and the Americans. As well as sustaining its own dirty money campaigns of murdering children and helping to create millions of refugees.

(As 'denied' and ignored by the west's hate-preaching, fake news propaganda.) Since then, the Americans and its allies (the Coalition of Evil, NATO, the UN and its poodle colony, the UK) have subjected numerous, defenceless civilian populations to many times the losses of the much-publicised Holocaust - also as 'denied' and not reported by the west's (mainly Jewish-owned and edited) fake news propaganda. A suffering which continues alongside astronomical losses to society, economies, culture and small businesses.

Many phishing e-mails and text messages include links to dubious websites where their information can be stolen. Anyone who receives an unexpected e-mail or text message asking for their PIN or bank details should report it to Action Fraud.

Universal Credit could lead to fall in self-employment. https://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/commons-select/work-and-pensions-committee/news-parliament-2017/universal-credit-report-launch-17-19/ The Work and Pensions Committee has warned that Universal Credit (UC) makes inadequate provision for the self-employed and could lead to a fall in self-employment. In a new report, the committee has warned that claimants must earn a minimum amount (the 'minimum income floor') to be eligible for UC. However, the minimum income floor assumes self-employed claimants earn a regular income at least equal to the National Minimum Wage, and makes no provision for claimants with income and expenditure that fluctuate from month to month. Furthermore, self-employed claimants are currently only exempt from the minimum income floor for their first 12 months in business. As a result, the committee has urged the Government to extend the exemption period.

And after all that 'self-employed/entrepreneur' bullshit from the regime and its Brownshirts in the run-up to the last fake elections.

Smaller firms struggling to access credit. https://www.fsb.org.uk/media-centre/press-releases/small-business-credit-approvals-hit-30-month-low-as-rate-decision-looms Research from the Federation of Small Businesses has revealed that a growing number of small firms are struggling to access credit. Overall, just 60% of small firms that applied for credit were successful in Q2 2018, down from 74% in Q2 2017. In addition, 40% of smaller firms said the availability of new credit is poor, which is the highest level for two years. The research has also indicated that credit is becoming less affordable for smaller firms due to higher interest rates.
