Does your small business protect itself properly?  What do we mean by protection?  Are there gaps in your business protection that need improving?    In this wide ranging discussion, I look at at least 10 ways in which your small business can protect itself against business risk. This audio is taken from a panel discussion I was invited to speak on with The Business Community. Get in touch for more information or visit www.buscomm.co.uk 

Do small business owners get it right with legislation? What are some of the obligations on small business owners and what more can they do to ensure they are 'compliant'? I'm told running a business is "a minefield" but I say that it may be, but anyone can navigate a minefield with a map! And that map is great expert advice.  In this podcast, I've taken the audio from a panel discussion I took part in recently in which me and a few guests talked about legislation for small business. 

This podcast steals (with permission) audio from a recent online live stream I took part in for The Business Community This "Focus On" panel discussed what are the financial mistakes small businesses make, and featured James Blacklaws of JB Commercial Finance and Wendy Tate of Beancounters, along with me Steven Mather Solicitor.

Although The Business Herald is no more, I decided to make a end of year special looking back at 2021.    So here we are joined by four esteemed guests and small business owners to discuss 2021 including:  - was the government's efforts for SME's good enough - will there need to be more - is working from home here to stay - are we still kicking the can down the road - and what were the big lessons to learn in 2021.    I'm Steven Mather Solicitor and Your Business Lawyer. I help small and medium sized business with a wide range of legal issues.   

I interview Neil Wattam of WKM Wealth & Financial Planning.
