OUR FRIENDS AT HMRC

Although this might appear a little bit of a contradiction in terms for many of us, we are genuinely pleased to say that we have forged some very positive relationships with HMRC over the last 12 months.

The Debt Management Units have been very receptive to the ‘Time to Pay’ or CVA proposals we present to them on behalf of our clients.

The ‘sting in the tail’, however, looks as though it has arrived as HMRC are starting to take a     tougher stance on arrears.

I would stress, however, that we are still in a good position to leverage our relationships with HMRC and would always encourage any business with arrears issues to contact us.

The Glass Really is Half Full

Welcome to our First Newsletter of 2010.

‘The glass really is half full’ rather than ‘half empty’ has been very much part of our philosophy during the recession and since Beer & Young started in 1998. No matter how dire things might seem there will always be some positives.  We really don’t like seeing failure and business owners throwing in the towel when they have not fully reviewed all the options. Our clients need help, support, and positivity, as well as the money! This brings me nicely onto…

SOME VERY GOOD NEWS – THE BUSINESS RECOVERY SERVICE (BRS)  

We are delighted to have been awarded a contract, via Business Link West Midlands, to provide “at risk” businesses with consultancy/advisory services. This support package has been offered at NO COST to the recipient SME as it is being fully paid for from funds provided by the European Regional Development Fund and Advantage West Midlands.   

We are very pleased to have been recognized as a leading firm in our market place and we are actively delivering this service to a number of BRS clients in the West Midlands.
