Swaffham Assembly Rooms – one of a series of five events co-hosted by Norfolk Charity BUILD and Norfolk County Council, bringing together social care service providers and their customers (ie people with disabilities, carers, family members) to help develop the new market where eligable personal budget holders, and those that fund their own care, can make informed choices about who provides accommodation, support, advice, as well as social, leisure and learning activities.
Open to the public, on a drop in basis with limited spaces left for service providers.
All businesses are required to keep financial records under the rules of Self-Assessment. The easiest method is by a simple cash book system showing income and expenditure. This can be done manually or by computerised systems.
You need to understand where income is coming from and where expenses are going. A business is about producing profit and generating cash. How do you know when this happening or not? If there is no control mechanism the chances are, you will not know until it is too late.
The workshop will explain how to structure and use financial records, develop a monitoring system and be aware of actions that should be taken.
The session will also give you a gentle introduction to tax (including vat and national insurance), and alert you to some issues that you will need to know for your new business.
