Invoice Timing is important
One of the major problems private businesses face is cash flow. The problem starts from how quickly invoices are issued to clients and how soon clients pay their invoices. Most private businesses have a net 30 day policy for invoices to be paid. However, if invoices are not sent to clients on time this may end up being invoice receiving date plus 30 days which then averages collection date between 45 to 60 days. In some circumstances businesses are failing to invoice altogether due one reason or another. A sale can not turn to cash if no money is received from the transaction, putting undue financial strain on the finances of the business. Processes can be put in place to make the generation of invoices a simple task and easy to do. The system should be such that invoices can be generated and sent from anywhere, including from the mobile, making it easy to keep track of all sales and outstanding balances. There are ton of software available to undertake this task at little or no cost.

When are you required to pay for Corporation Tax?
The current UK Corporation Tax rate is 19% (2019/20), it is paid on profits if you are limited company. A foreign company with a UK branch registered as limited company in the UK also needs to pay Tax on their profits. So does a club, co-operative or other unincorporated association such as a community or sports club.
You have to register for Corporation Tax when you start doing business or restart a dormant business. If you start an unincorporated business write to HMRC to inform them about it.
Corporation Tax is worked out after you have deducted all your expenses from your income, a rate (19%-2019/20) of corporation tax is calculated on the profit and filed for as a Tax Return. The information passed on to HMRC notifies them of the company’s outstanding tax bill. It is important to keep good records of your business transactions not only is it good for filing the right tax or accounts but it helps you as a business owner know where your finances are heading.
Accounting for Business
How can Business Owners successfully interpret accounting information in their decision making?
Accounting emanates from the simple equation of Assets (What the business owns) equals the sum of Liabilities (What the business owes) and Shareholders equity (What is owed to investors). The Liabilities and equity represents how the business is financed. A further breakdown of the liabilities shows whether the business is predominantly financed in the short-term or for the long-term. Short-term finance is scary because any interim problem with the finances of the business can cause its collapse. This one of the reason why 60% of businesses that fail in the US are profitable. As a business if most of your finances are short-term then you have to be in control of payments from customers.
