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.

overview of
starting and running a
business from home,

Businesses in the UK made nearly 3,970 claims

figures from the Association of British Insurers

over the number of claims made in Q4 2017 and
is also the most claims made per quarter since
Q3 2009. The total amount paid out by insurance
firms under trade credit insurance policies
in Q1 2018 was a record £54 million.

health of small and medium-sized UK firms improved
in Q1 2018 for the first time in more than 18
months. However, while business confidence,
revenue, lending and employment improved in
Q1 2018, there was poor GDP growth and a fall
in net business creation. The report has also
revealed that smaller firms employ around 16
million people and generate 51% of total business
revenue.

calls for peloton to strike if Chris Froome

A not-unexpected call from a soiled French
'hero' who himself went on strike and encouraged
other riders to do so in protest against and
refusing to undergo - doping controls! Of course,
with the Tour de France approaching, French
national hypocrisy levels - just as with Armstrong,
et al - do tend to peak as once again, another
doped-up French rider is highly unlikely to
take any honours this year. (Unlike Hinault's
good 'ole days!)
Anyway,
the idea is bad for business. There must be
tens of thousands of Grenouilles who
make an especial effort to attend the Tour just
to insult, spit and throw piss at Froome. It
all helps to keep the local tills ringing, doncha
know!

A new report from the Department for International
Trade (DIT), which is based on a survey of firms
with an annual turnover of more than £500,000,
has revealed that smaller firms are significantly
less likely to export than their larger counterparts.
While 73% of smaller firms believe there is
demand for British products and services overseas,
they are least confident in their capacity and
capability to export. The report has indicated
that just 8% of small firms are aware of the
DIT's Exporting is GREAT website and 25% do
not know where to get export help and support.
In response to the findings, the DIT has announced
plans to raise awareness of the support it offers
smaller firms.

To which we can add the chaos regularly caused
by French criminal strikers; the total lack
of output and professionalism from the country's
bloated army of 5 million parasite/fonctionnaires
many of whom are strikers as well - although
the French public could be forgiven for not
being able to tell the difference - and it looks
as if the French regime will have to come up
with another set of fake statistics and associated
propaganda showing that France is the most productive
country in the world.
In
the meantime, politicians and l'administration
are counting on their gullible compatriots being
temporarily distracted by its national football
squad of 'illegal immigrants' filling in for
'proper' French players - who are on strike.
Or, just like the Brits, simply don't have the
same skill sets as 'economic refugees'.

million small firms earn no interest on savings.

Research commissioned by Aldermore has indicated
that more than three million small and medium-sized
firms in the UK earn no interest on their savings.
Of the 325 firms surveyed earlier in 2018, 62%
were earning no interest on money in their business
bank account. Around 41% of firms were not saving
enough each month to earn interest and 33% were
spending their savings before interest could
be earned. In addition, 65% of firms surveyed
held a business bank account with the same bank
that provides their personal bank account, regardless
of the interest rate offered.

That's why the tractor is 'red'. It goes
with the colour of blood. Nor is the Red Tractor
scheme any more credible than any other supermarket-based
customer exploitation ploy. The only way the
average consumer is probably going to get their
hands on decent food, humanely reared, is to
go directly to the farm or to a reputable farm
shop. Unfortunately, these are outlets which
are not promoted by Google Adshite and the fake
news media, so the average dummyphone punter
will not be any the wiser.

Plans
to tackle payment retentions in construction
contracts. http://www.constructionmanagermagazine.com/news/support-retentions-bill-hits-500000-firms/
Several trade bodies and more than 500,000 smaller
firms have backed the Construction (Retention
Deposit Schemes) Bill, which is currently being
debated in Parliament. The Bill plans to reform
construction retentions, which is when the main
contractor withholds a percentage of payment
for construction work to ensure that the contractor
properly completes the activities required of
them. Retentions often lead to payments to contractors
and sub-contractors being withheld for an unreasonable
length of time and can impact cash flow and
productivity. Under the plans, retentions would
be placed in a Government-backed scheme and
released once the work has been completed.
