The Red Stuff Handbook (UK version)

Introduction

If you are thinking of leaving your job and starting your own business or becoming your own boss then you are probably the kind of person who wants practical information that you can use straightaway. When you confront the mechanics of starting a business in the UK, you'll discover pretty quickly that no one explains it all step by step and it can take a lot of time to figure it out. There are 12 key decision areas that you need to sort out. The Red Stuff Handbook covers, in detail, these 12 key decisions...

1. Are you building income or equity?
2. Which legal structure are you going to use (e.g. Sole Trader v. Ltd Company) and should you buy a franchise?
3. Do you need an accountant and a business bank account?
4. Are you going to register for VAT - now, later or never?
5. Should you buy a company car or van?
6. Are you clear about business expenses and how to claim them?
7. Do you know how to organise yourself, send invoices and get paid?
8. How will you price your goods or services?
9. Will your work be caught by IR35 and can you avoid it?
10. Which insurance cover should you buy?
11. Should you employ other people - now, later or not at all?
12. Do you need a website and should you trade on the internet?

Experience shows that even with all the help available to new start-ups, you still have to struggle to put all this information together yourself and it soon becomes clear that there is a whole lot of stuff that you don't know about. Why Red Stuff? Because you need to understand the mechanics of how it all works - tax, national insurance, expenses, VAT, whether to be a partnership, sole trader, limited company or one of the four other business structures you can use. It's the lifeblood of any business - saving you money and saving time if you can find the most effective way to manage the mechanics.

Who is it for?

It isn't for people who just want the theory and don't want to use it. Only purchase this product if you want hard nosed, fast, practical help with the mechanics. It's for people at the transition stage who have been curious and concerned about the mechanics and want to arm themselves with some information and answers before talking to other professionals. It is, for example, an ideal handbook to work through before you start talking to accountants.
