Online Tools

Business Link, the advice organisation backed by the UK Department of Trade and Industry, has launched a wide selection of free online tools. 

The aim of the online tools is to help SME's deal with the complications of UK government requirements.  The tools ask you questions and filter the end information dependent on your needs.  In theory, it should make the task of getting relevant information much easier.

It's particularly useful if you are starting up a small business for the first time.  The tools are free, easy to use and are great to gather information.  Tools include:

Do you need to register for VAT?

The tools are process driven so do double check the results and get advice.  It's not easy to replace judgement and experience with a computer.
