Around 20% of the UK’s self-employed work in the construction industry. Between 13% and 14% are involved in diverse business activities, around 7% work in recreation, culture and sport, and a further 7% in health and social work.
Nearly three-quarters of the self-employed had a self-employment income of less than ?15,000 in 2000/2001. NatWest is fully aware of the problem of low income in self-employment and hopes its business managers will help customers to develop their businesses and increase their profits. In December 2001, the Competition Commission reported on banking services for business and accused the banks of failing to offer good value competitive services to small businesses. The banks have responded with improvements to their services for business and now cater much better for micro businesses.
KEY FINANCIAL SERVICES Approximately 1.5 million people use personal bank accounts for their business activities, and fewer than half of new entrepreneurs open a business account for their start-up enterprise. 52% of self-employed men and 70% of self-employed women were not in a pension scheme in 2000/2001.
Self-certified and flexible mortgages and offset accounts have revolutionised the capacity of the self-employed to borrow for their home and business. Designated business loans and grants are hard to obtain, especially for new small businesses. Government support is targeted on disadvantaged geographical areas.
Employer’s liability, professional liability and other protection insurances are high-cost because of rising litigation costs. Liability cover is often prohibitively expensive for the self-employed in risky occupations such as roofing and scaffolding. Critical illness cover is costly because of medical advances resulting in rising longevity. Lack of affordable insurance is a significant barrier to the creation and expansion of micro businesses. Invoice finance, which involves factoring or invoice discounting, has few customers among micro businesses but offers good potential for improving cash flow for businesses turning over at least ?50,000.

There is no easy and rapid solution to the challenges of the MLM and network marketing industry. Here is what I have learned to do to avoid some of the pitfallsAVOID PITFALLS Have a strong "why". If you do not have a deeply felt, personal, "gut level" reason for wanting to accomplish your goal, you will struggle. Do whatever it takes to get it. Your why is not: get out of debt, retire early, etc. Your why is that deep level emotional and spiritual reason why you want to accomplish your goal. Put your goals in writing. Make them SMART. Specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time bound. I have annual, quarterly, monthly and weekly goals, that I put in writing in a three ring notebook. I share, actually, email my goals to my mentors. Goals, as Jim Rohn says, provide the roadmap fpr where you want to go. Learn to dream. I have a dream board and paste pictures of t

As a newbee to eBay I sold a LOT of things. I looked around our farm and I found a TON of stuff that I was interested in getting rid of. Old metals, seeds, wood, cattle, dogs, wife...(well, truth is she got rid of me first, but that's another story..)But you know, after awhile I got tired of the hassle of packaging and posting everything. Then one day I was looking at a piece of metal called brass shim stock and a bell went off inside my head! You see, brass shim stock is mostly used in machine shops to adjust tooling, but I remembered my grandmother using it to make decorations. And I was off to the races!I found a supplier on the internet and got a very good deal.. Then I placed an auction on eBay and crossed my fingers and SURE ENOUGH, it started selling like hotcakes. I was contacting my supplier several times a day, giving instructions on where to send the stuff. I w

You have your restaurant open for several weeks now, customers are coming in…finally you have employees serving real food. But before you continue with your business further, be sure that you have everything else under control. It’s still important to be informed about what’s hot and what’s not and what’s important in handling a restaurant for business.It’s not only how your restaurant’s look and feel that matter, but how you make your customers happy and satisfied of their entire stay at your restaurant. When they have a good time over-all, they will surely come back and take new friends or relatives with them, and when their friends tell their friends as well, you know what’s going to happen next.Make sure that your restaurant’s atmosphere is friendly all the way through to any customers that you receive. When you have a happy disposition with your business, it reflects
COMPANY DEVELOPMENTS Abbey National offers free banking for small businesses. Alliance & Leicester’s Commercial Bank also offers a free banking account. Barclays Clearlybusiness service offers useful information and support to new businesses. Bank of Scotland’s Smartfinance is a relevant offset product that cuts the costs of borrowing. HSBC relies on brand scale and reputation and on accessibility to sell moderately priced business banking. Lloyds TSB offers tiered customisation of business bank accounts. NatWest has the strongest brand in small business banking, but is facing stiff competition from the innovative smaller banks, notably Alliance & Leicester and Bank of Scotland. Insurers products for small businesses tend to lack the degree of brand power possessed by the major banks. Selling insurance products through financial advisers and banks tends to weaken brand identity. Norwich Union’s new “Self employed” suite of policies signals the company’s intention to cater comprehensively for micro businesses. PROMOTION
Royal Bank of Scotland’s NatWest remains the largest advertiser of banking services to business generally and small business in particular. HSBC, Bank of Scotland and Abbey National are the other leading advertisers to business. The newly self-employed are not an important focus for banks’ advertising, or for advertising by other financial-services organisations.
INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE Business owners in the UK have fewer problems with late payment than in many other parts of the world, and are relatively optimistic about future investment and turnover. PEST ANALYSIS
Budget help for enterprise is focused on companies, not on unincorporated micro businesses. Late payment legislation and invoice factoring can be used to help improve cash flow. Debt levels among employees threaten to restrict new voluntary self-employment, because continuity of income is essential for debt repayments. ‘Push’ factors into self-employment such as redundancy leading to involuntary self-employment are likely to assume greater importance. Lack of national broadband coverage restricts the creation of new businesses in rural areas, especially those needing to use IT.
