Is your business outgrowing your capacity? | Retained Business Support & Bookkeeping built around you and your business | Multi-Award Finalist | Let’s work together⚡️👇

Have you been toying with the idea of bringing in some support?

Have you sat down and actually worked out what hiring someone new would cost you?

Not just the salary - the National Insurance. The holiday pay. The sick pay. The training time. The desk, the laptop, the software logins. Suddenly that “cheap” minimum wage hire isn’t looking so cheap anymore.

Here’s where we earn our keep.

By outsourcing, you get skilled, experienced support exactly when you need it. No NI contributions. No holiday pay to budget for. No probation period where you’re crossing your fingers it works out. No desk to find, no laptop to buy - just someone who turns up, knows what they’re doing, and gets on with the work, whether that’s 5 hours a week or 25.

You can still have a team around you without taking on the cost and commitment of employing one. We want to see your business do well, in whatever way that looks like for you right now.

Less risk. More flexibility. Same brilliant support. 🙌

Our VA support starts from 8 hours a month at £280, so if you’ve been putting off hiring because it feels like a big scary commitment, this might be the easier first step.

Still unsure? Here’s what our clients say:

⭐ “You’re slowly becoming my left arm of the business. Don’t know how I coped in the chaos without you.”

⭐ “The relief has been instant. Just knowing you guys are taking care of my onboarding and credit control has been a complete game changer. I can’t believe how much time and headspace I have back already!”

⭐ “…there is always something that needs doing, and working with Sam and the team has transformed the way we operate. They quickly and efficiently took over everything from website updates and social media to contracts, onboarding clients and even marketing support.”

Nobody builds something brilliant entirely on their own.

The idea that a good business owner should be able to handle everything - the clients, the admin, the books, the marketing, the inbox, the invoices - is one of the most exhausting myths going.

Asking for help isn’t a sign that you’re struggling. It’s a sign that you’re serious.

The smartest thing you can do for your business is figure out what only you can do and hand the rest to someone who does it better, faster, or with more headspace than you have right now.

It’s not giving up control. It’s growing a business.

We work alongside business owners as their behind-the-scenes support - handling the admin, the bookkeeping, and everything in between so you can actually focus on the work you started the business to do.

You don’t have to do it all. You just have to decide you don’t want to anymore.

10 hours of VA support for £350 per month.

Heads up, business owners - from this Friday 19 June, a new statutory duty comes into force that affects most UK businesses.

Under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 (which amends the existing Data Protection Act 2018), all data controllers are now legally required to have a formal data protection complaints process in place.

So who is a data controller?

If your business collects, stores or uses people’s personal data (client details, email lists, employee records) - that’s you.

What does the process need to include?

✅ A named person or team responsible for handling data protection complaints
✅A clear, accessible way for people to submit a complaint, including electronically
✅ An acknowledgement within 30 days of receiving it
✅ A proper investigation and response without undue delay
✅Confirmation of the outcome, including letting the complainant know they can escalate to the ICO if they’re unhappy.

Don’t have a complaints process yet?

You’ll need to create one - and it must be specifically set up to capture and address data protection complaints, not just general complaints.

Already have a complaints process?

You may be able to adapt it, but again, it needs to specifically cover data protection issues to be compliant.

Either way, it should be documented, assigned to a responsible person, and visible to the people who might need to use it.

The ICO has published guidance to help businesses get this right.

Two weeks today we’ll be heading down to the Welsh Final at Tramshed Cardiff as a finalist in the B2B category and I’m genuinely still in disbelief that we’ve been shortlisted out of thousands of applicants.

If you’d told me a few years ago that a side hustle would turn into a small agency with an incredible team of associates and awards finals then…well, you know the drill. Crazy.

I won’t pretend I’m not nervous. I absolutely am. As someone who spends most of their life behind a desktop, being released into the wild for an actual event is a whole thing in itself. But, mostly I’m just really bloody proud of how far we’ve come.

If you’re going to be there, come and say hi 👋 I’ll be the one looking like a rabbit in headlights trying my best to look normal - probably closely followed by my husband, who has listened to me talk about this business for years and absolutely deserves a night out for his patience alone.

Good luck everyone!

Nobody starts a side hustle thinking “I can’t wait to deal with HMRC”, but knowing the rules early saves a headache later.

The bit most people don’t realise is that you can actually earn up to £1,000 from your side hustle in a tax year without needing to declare anything at all. It’s called the Trading Allowance, and it covers everything from Etsy sales to the odd bit of freelance work.

Once you go over that £1,000 though, HMRC want to know about it. You need to register for Self Assessment, declare your income, and pay any tax and National Insurance due.

A couple of things worth knowing 👇

If you’re employed and already pay tax through PAYE, it’s easy to assume your side hustle sits separately, but it doesn’t work like that.

HMRC gives everyone a Personal Allowance (currently £12,570) before any tax is due. Your employer uses that allowance up against your salary, and taxes you accordingly through your payslip. When you add side hustle income on top, HMRC looks at everything together and works out whether you’ve paid the right amount of tax overall.

If your side hustle profit pushes your total income into a higher tax band, you’ll owe the difference, and that gets collected through your Self Assessment tax return rather than your payslip.

HMRC are also getting much better at spotting undeclared income, with platforms like eBay, Vinted, Etsy and Airbnb now sharing data with them directly. So the “it’s only small amounts” approach isn’t really worth the risk anymore.

The good news is that allowable expenses (things like software, mileage, equipment and advertising) can be claimed against any taxable income, which makes keeping good records from the start really worthwhile.

I don’t need help.

I don’t need help.

I don’t need help.

I can do this myself.

This isn’t too much for one person.

I just need to manage my time better.

I need to try harder.

Maybe if I just get up an hour earlier.

I’ll catch up at the weekend.

Sorry kids, just give me a minute

I just need to get through this week.

Maybe this new app everyone is talking about will help.

How does everyone else cope?

I thought it would get easier than this.

Maybe I could just…

God, is it really 10pm?

I’d love to come but I’ve got to get this done.

I’m failing.

How is this so hard?

Something’s got to give.

…I think I need help.

What if you stopped waiting until you were drowning?

Most of the business owners we work with came to us at that last line. We wish they’d come to us at the first one.

Needing support isn’t a sign you’re not cut out for this. It’s a sign you’re building something real - and real businesses need real people behind them.

If this resonates, we’re here when you’re ready.

Retained VA support starts from £350 a month - and it might just be the best decision you make for your business this year. We’ve got you.

Expenses are one of those areas where lots of business owners either play it too safe or go too far.

The rule HMRC cares about is simple: expenses should be WHOLLY and EXCLUSIVELY for the business. So, if you bought it, subscribed to it, or paid for it and the business genuinely needed it - it’s generally allowable.

However, there are some things that may have a personal element to them. This doesn’t automatically mean you can’t claim the expense, but, it does mean you need to tread carefully. For example - a mobile phone you use for both personal and business calls. In cases like these, you can very often apportion the cost and claim the business portion - but you need to be able to show your workings.

HMRC aren’t looking to catch you out for honest mistakes, but they do expect you to be able to justify what you’ve claimed and why.

Under-claiming is just as much of an issue. At tax return time, one of the things we see often is genuine business expenses that have been leaving a personal account unnoticed all year. For example - insurance policies set up before a business account existed. Subscriptions like Canva or Microsoft 365 that go out on a personal direct debit and then get forgotten about at year end.

These are costs you’re entitled to claim, so they should be included as legitimate expenses.

Top tip: if you’ve got business subscriptions or insurance coming out of a personal account, switch those direct debits to your business account as soon as you can. It keeps everything clean, makes sure you’re capturing the whole picture, and means you’re not paying more tax than you need to.

Outsourcing feels like a big decision until you actually do it. Then you wonder why you waited so long. 👀

DMs are open if you’re ready to be like Nicole.

Somewhere between this sunset and this morning, May happened.

It was an incredibly busy month - I turned 40, went on holiday, half term happened, the heat wave happened and it was Hay Festival 😮‍💨

But, it’s Monday today, it’s the 1st of the month, the kids are back to school AND it’s the first day of UK Small Business Week. The universe is serving fresh start vibes. So, I’ve decided that June is my reset month. More time on the business, more practicing what I preach, time to slow it down a notch.

If you want to support a small business this week, you don’t have to spend a penny:

✨Like their posts
✨Leave a review
✨Recommend them to someone
✨Share their content
✨Tag them in something

It costs nothing and it means everything.

Happy Small Business Week. 🖤

Send us a message if you’ve been putting off getting support - today feels like a good day to stop doing that.
