Get financially savvy

Despite years and years of maths lessons at school, tax, cash flow, and budgeting didn’t really come up much.

It’s never too late to improve your financial education. If you’re doubting your budgeting decisions, or baffled by tax, these free (or cheap) resources can boost your confidence.

HMRC Business Help

If you have an HMRC Government Gateway account, you should get their Business Help emails automatically. They have webinars and online information to help you understand both your personal and business tax.

Who’s it for?

Any freelancer or small business owner who wants to feel on top of their tax.

Good bits

  • Get the most up to date information directly from the people who make the rules!
  • The webinars are short and the written guides easy to read.
  • Explore specific topics like self-employment, VAT, PAYE, and money laundering regulations.

Not so good bits

  • It’s important stuff, but a bit dry.
