Live from Town Square
<p><strong>Episode 6: Live from Town Square</strong>. Join <strong>Ellie and Nigel</strong> for a lively and highly informative afternoon out - as they gather tips and answer questions from business owners at Kingston’s new <strong>Town Square</strong> co-working space. These range from how to respond to lost business or a slowdown in trade to advice on minimising your accountancy bills. </p> <p>For starters, your hosts discover for themselves why a business problem shared really can be a problem halved. Everyone they meet there speaks to the benefits of sharing your trading dilemmas, ambitions and little wins with like-minded people who are going through it all themselves - most likely in an entirely different field. There are more ways you can help each other than you can imagine. <br>Our dynamic duo kick things off by picking the brains of the co-working space chain’s inspiring founder <strong>Gareth Jones</strong>. He explains how successful freelancers and business owners learn to be risk aware - but not risk averse. This is why family and friends may not always be your best port of call for business advice. As a busy accountant, Ellie admits she is happy to spend much of the day holed up in her office working for her clients. But Gareth explains how true networking is not about going to dull events, swopping business cards or accepting Linked In connections from strangers. It is all about earmarking time to get to know other professional people you trust - people who are far more likely to share their experience and give you valuable pointers for free in a casual or sociable setting. People like local entrepreneurs <strong>Raj Rajendram </strong>and <strong>Steve Grant</strong> - two centre regulars who share some of their business journeys so far. </p> <p><em>Warning to business loners: listening to this podcast could change your whole approach to building your enterprise!</em></p> <p><br></p>

Paying People
<p>Episode 5: Paying People. Taking on your first worker - or even just employing a mate to help you on a casual basis - is a big step for any start up or small firm. "Suddenly, you're all grown up - so hats off to business owners who take people on" says Ellie. In this episode, she's joined by payroll whizz Esme Rush to set out all the essentials of registering as an employer - and the mechanics. paperwork and costs involved. Nigel asks about issues ranging from workplace pension responsibilities to tax coding, whether you need payroll software, and the different treatment of contractors as opposed to direct employees.

Charging Ahead
<p>Episode 4: Charging Ahead. With average vehicle costs up 40% since Covid, buying or leasing a car or van for your business is a huge expense - where mistakes could land you with costly tax bills. Special guest Toby Poston, corporate affairs director at the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association, joins co host Ellie Rayner of Accord Accountants to guide you through key options and choices for getting on the road in a world where the tax regime has bounced the business user into the electric future. Salary sacrifice, benefits in kind, VAT, emissions taxation and much more is all explained in this highly informative episode that's a must listen for anyone who needs to get mobile for their work. An influential voice in the UK car world, Toby also surprises Ellie and co-host Nigel Cassidy with his explanation of how a glut of previously-leased electric vehicles is flooding the second hand car market, at prices competitive with petrol cars - though ultimately distorting the market. We also discover how Ellie took her first tentative turns at the wheel on the roof of Brent Cross shopping centre - and Nigel probably inhaled too much fibreglass in his youth patching up his first rusty Mini. </p>
