Are you looking for a bookkeeper and don't know where to start and don't know what the options are? As a small or medium sized business owner, finding a competent bookkeeper can present significant challenges because: You will most likely only need someone part time Nine times out of ten you will want the bookkeeper to work at your offices You will expect someone excellent for the best possible price, and wouldn't it be great if they could do management accounts monthly as well You know that anyone not registered with either the HMRC or their accounting Institute is carrying out a criminal actMost of the major recruitment players are less than ideal as they don't specialise in part time bookkeepers. You also know that their approach is simply to aggregate the CVs of those candidates who happen to have walked into their offices that week. They forward them and let you make the choice, without any sort of technical vetting. This won't do, so you would probably look at the following options:1. Use the tried and trusted bookkeeper you have been using for ages (if they are still around)2. If they can't do it you ask around your colleagues or Chartered Accountant to see if they...more

The current financial crisis has been the result of a nervousness of the banks to lend to each other and to the public. This has been a response to the relaxed lending that took place, partially to a new demographic of borrowers, known as 'NINJAs': those with no income, no job and no assets. Ironically, the first to suffer as a result, have been the banks themselves. Nowhere has this been more evident than in London - especially in the City - where banks have streamlined, downsized and, in some cases collapsed.The result for the commercial property market has been an influx of office space. According to a leading firm of property advisors, this influx is set to continue well into 2009 and then die off. In rental terms, it means that prospective tenants can expect to be able to take advantage of low rents and landlord incentives until at least 2010 and more than likely stretching in to 2011. In London's West End, incentives have tripled in length over the last year, offering benefits such as rent-free periods for contracts in excess of 2 years..For tenants looking to relocate or expand their business, the opportunities offered to them by the credit crunch cannot be bettered....more
