Scams are on the rise and small businesses are no safer from fraudsters than consumers. And in some cases, businesses are being scammed by their own customers. Action Fraud, the UK's national reporting centre for fraud and cyber-crime, say that one in four small businesses are affected by fraud every year, with costs to businesses estimated at early £19 billion. How do entrepreneurs keep their budding business safe? What should companies do to protect their data? And when it all goes wrong, who can help small businesses? Louise Cooper hears from Shara, Raoul and Louise about their experience of scammers targeting their businesses. And she's joined by our expert panel: Paul Meskall - Manager of Fraud & Cyber Crime Prevention - UK Finance Dr Roger Barker - Director of Policy and Corporate Governance - Institute of Directors Gary Rycroft - Partner - Joseph A. Jones & Co.

A recent report by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) found that the coronavirus pandemic has driven more people into financial vulnerability. More adults in the UK have fallen into debt or have little capacity to ride out financial shocks, the FCA said. While furlough, other support grants and the Universal Credit uplift have helped many people avoid money problems, concerns are growing over the financial damage from multiple lockdowns, job losses, lower earnings and redundancies. How are people coping with debt during the pandemic and what support is available? Joining presenter Louise Cooper on the panel: Helen Undy, chief executive, Money and Mental Health Policy Institute Richard Lane, head of external affairs, Stepchange Colin Mathieson, from Advice Direct Scotland If you have a question about debt, please get in touch.

Almost half a million UK households are facing rent arrears according to a report from the Resolution Foundation published this week.

Episode 50: Finding Special Needs Resources With Guest Contessa Louise Cooper In this episode, we discuss having adult children with autism and developing resources for others. Guest Contessa Louise Cooper was a young mom. Her son was born at 34 weeks and had a NICU stay. She knew early on that he had special needs, but back when he was born, there were no diagnostic resources, so he wasn't diagnosed with autism until age 9. She noted that back in the 1980's and 1990's, there were no resources, guidance, therapies, or help for her. She had to trust her gut and her maternal instincts and do the best she could for her son. She chose to take him out of traditional high school and instead have him do a work-study program to prepare him for the work world. This program had him try a different job every semester. However, even working with 5 job coaches, there were no jobs available to him and the job coaches were not able to help. Unfortunately, if there were jobs available, he would have to work with another person to provide support for him, and this would lead to a significant added expense. Additionally, there is a very long wait list for jobs such as these. Contessa had just gotten her son into a weekly social outing group, which is now canceled due to COVID. She noted that four things help her cope. Puberty allowed her son to calm, which led to a reduced number of outbursts. She lets her son he as independent at her can be. She also got to know her son very well and makes sure that he gets what he needs. She also learned to pick and choose her battles and only enforces the more important rules. For a long time, she experienced terrible isolation. She didn't know anyone else who had children with autism. Other parents didn't want their kids to her around her son because they though their children would "catch" autism. Or, the didn't want their children to be around her son's behaviors. She also noticed that people talked about her and her son behind their backs. The saving grace was one of her son's teachers, who ended up adopting a child with special needs. Having someone that she could share everything with greatly helped to lessen her isolation.   Links for Contessa: MAA Center Unpuzzled Her Website Instagram Twitter Facebook Email us if you have any questions or ideas!

Is inequality in the workplace inevitable? Of course not – but why are we not seeing improvement in the 11.9% gender pay gap (the average for UK businesses with over 250 employees)? Why do women lose out when it comes to bonuses? And are there instances when a low gender pay gap could be a bad thing?    This episode’s panel holds nothing back. Find out why LGIM’s Dame Helena Morrisey believes that men having more life choices is key to women’s equal pay; why Liz Benison, the MD of Arriva, likens women self-selecting out the system to skiing in a whiteout; why the ICAEW’s Dr Jane Berney thinks that quotas are not a good thing (while others disagree) and why the CEO of the Fawcett Society, Sam Smethers, cautions against a one-size-fits-all-women approach to diversity in the workplace.   Business journalist Louise Cooper is back in the chair in this latest episode from ICAEW’s More Than a Number. While guiding the conversation, she gathers a lot of really helpful advice. Dame Helena guides on how best to negotiate a pay rise; Liz shows how very simple amends to language usage hugely increased the number of women taking up development courses; and the panel discusses the benefits of not asking candidates to disclose their current salary in job interviews.   Dame Helena Morrisey was Head of Personal Investing at Legal & General Investment Management at the time of recording.   ICAEW is a world-leading professional membership organisation that promotes, develops and supports over 181,500 chartered accountants and students worldwide.

Oh yeah! It's Liz's big sister Louise Cooper, AKA Coop De Loop or Coop Du Jour, and she's here to have a great time and talk to us about her experiences as one of the original Kingston Roller Derby Girls. She gives us a quick breakdown of the game, tells us how we can get into it ourselves, and reminisces about her own (super badass) derby days. We talk gender, inclusivity, derby names, halftime shows, costumes, injuries and more! Liz also defines "furries" fur any interested parties. Oh yeah, and before we get to any of that, we play a rousing and hilarious game of Icebreakers, which ends in each of us admitting to being "a smelly puddle of urine."

Almost 8 million people live alone in the UK and numbers are rising. Figures from the Office for National Statistics show it's more expensive to be single, so what are the financial penalties if you're not a couple? Inevitably, household expenses are more costly when you're not sharing rent or mortgage payments, energy or water bills. But outside the home, there are many ways that singletons pay a premium - whether it's more expensive holidays, hotel rooms, train fares, car insurance or even theatre tickets. On Money Box Live, we want to hear how you can cut the costs of being single. Apart from the 25% council tax discount, where else are singletons given a price reduction? And, with the number of one-person households expected to reach more than 10 million by 2039, should the government consider new policies to ease the financial burden? Share your views and experiences with Louise Cooper and guests. Email moneybox@bbc.co.uk or call 03700 100 444 from 1pm to 3.30pm on Wednesday 17 April. Standard geographic charges from landlines and mobiles will apply. Guests: Professor Donald Hirsch, Centre for Research in Social Policy at Loughborough University Kara Gammell, personal finance journalist Presenter: Louise Cooper Producer: Sally Abrahams

Louise Cooper and panel discuss why the cost of car insurance is so high. How do insurers work your premium out? Is it ever a good idea to stick with your existing provider?

Today's guest is Contessa Louise Cooper, author of Mad At The World: How To Move On And Find Peace When You're A Special Needs Parent. She talks about how at 16 she got pregnant. A few years later, doctors told her that her son was mentally retarded and suggested he be institutionalized. It wasn't until years later that her son was diagnosed as autistic. She talks about how challenging it was not only getting day care and keeping her son in school, but also she couldn't keep a day job because she constantly needed to attend to her son. That's when she resorted to becoming an exotic dancer to make ends meet, but it didn't last forever. Fortunately, she got help from friends and family. Today, Contessa's passion is to pay it forward by helping others, particularly others with special needs like autism or supporting their parents and caregivers.

If you haven't switched energy suppliers in recent years, what does the energy price cap mean for you? The regulator, Ofgem, has announced plans to prevent gas and electricity companies charging a typical household more than £1,136 a year, saving households £75 a year, on average. But will it mean companies stop offering some of their cheapest deals currently on the market? And will consumers be lulled into thinking they don't need to shop around and look for better deals? But how to switch and save? Its not always straightforward. Louise Cooper and guests take your energy questions. Guests: Audrey Gallagher, Director of Policy, Energy UK Gillian Cooper, Head of Retail Energy Markets, Citizens Advice Joe Malinowski, founder, price comparison website theenergyshop.com Presenter: Louise Cooper Producer: Sally Abrahams.

The end of mortgage interest relief, the loss of the so called wear and tear allowance and additional stamp duty charges on new property purchases may mean that landlords have to rethink their financial plans. Some landlords are being encouraged to set up a limited company to avoid the charges but how does it work and could it end up costing you more? Stricter mortgage affordability assessments will also apply to landlords who own four or more properties from September 2017, limiting the overall amount you can borrow. And what are the rules about tax and mortgages if you're a landlord thinking of letting a property through Airbnb? Joining Louise Cooper to talk through the business of buy to let will be: Carolyn Uphill, Chairman, National Landlords Association.

Producer: Rosamund Jones.

The NHS is facing a sustained squeeze. An ageing population, the rising cost of new treatments and increasing patient demand on the one hand, and the impact of continued austerity on the other. What can it do? One answer might lie in improving productivity. In the first of two programmes on the NHS, Louise Cooper explores its productivity puzzle. What does increased productivity look like in the health service? She meets clinicians, across the country, who are trying to do more for less. Can their efforts be replicated across the NHS? And, if so, will it ever be enough? Presenter: Louise Cooper Producer: Rosamund Jones.
