Podcasts about sole traders

Sole trader confidence in the government's slipped after the announcement of the fortnightly $20 tax credit.  Accountancy service Hnry's most recent report reveals 44% think they'll be worse off with the government's promises.  They've come up with six policies they would support instead, such as lower tax rates for high demand professions.  CEO James Fuller says sole traders aren't looking for handouts.  He says sole traders just want to be heard and recognised as there's 400,000 of them and they don't seem to have the ear of the Government like big business does.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Evelyn talks about all things self employed lending. Self employed finance is typically seen as 'hard' and can take longer to assess, but Evelyn reveals why this is just a myth, and how critical it is to speak to people who know specifically which lender will assess your income in the most favourable manner. Applying with no context or knowledge of a bank's self employed policy is like taking a shot in the dark! You don't know where it will land. Evelyn also talks about some of the commonly used policies she is seeing work for a number of clients, and the minimum requirements you need to meet if you are self employed. Finally, Evelyn talks about HECS debt reforms for Australians, and Commercial and Industrial Stamp Duty Reforms. You can read the information sheet discussed here.

The accountancy software firm, Hnry, aimed at sole traders, says its recent survey of political parties shows how out of touch they are with the needs of the sector. New Zealand has over 400,000 sole traders making up almost a fifth of the country's workforce. They are independent earners, freelancers, tradies, contractors and the self-employed - working across all industries. Hnry surveyed all the major political parties on their policies affected sole traders and says the results were illustrative and disappointing. Hnry Founder James Fuller says many tradies are experiencing mortgage stress and cost cutting, and expect better from any incoming government.

Small businesses want the red tape cut out of the economy. A new survey of Australian and New Zealand sole traders found a growing number of traders concerned about the health of the economy. It also suggests people want simpler rules around doing business rather than additional government support or extra funding. Hnry Chief Executive James Fuller told Kate Hawkesby small operators want change. “I think of late, the last 6 to 12 months, there's been an increase in red tape. There's also a lot of talk about simplifications to the tax system.”LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Other small business claim for costs to which they're not entitled, which can lead to problems if HMRC finds out.

Business finances are one of those areas that feels scary, confusing and frustrating.

“F” is for femme sole traders. Feme sole traders (married women engaged in trade) held a unique status in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century South Carolina. The laws and customs of the times prevented married women from undertaking commercial dealings without consent of their husbands. An important exception to this state of affairs, however, was the granting of sole trading status. As a femme sole trader, a married woman became “as if sole” or unmarried in the eyes of the law for her economic status. Because the activities of a femme sole trader could deprive a husband of services that marriage entitled him to, his consent was required, as was his agreement not to meddle in her business ventures. Statutes regarding femme sole trading in South Carolina first appeared in 1712—and were subsequently amended in 1734 and 1744.

Kate Taylor, is an innovative business woman working within the recruitment industry, telehealth and corporate health and well-being. Kate has expanded her business in 2021 and knows the benefits of keeping her team’s mental health top of mind, as well as her own, especially through the challenging COVID-19 period. “Small Businesses are the largest employers in Australia. They account for almost 98% of all actively trading businesses in NSW and have an increased risk of mental ill-health due to the unique stress factors they face, in particular financial stress. With the additional stress of COVID-19, there has never been a tougher time to be in business, especially for those who survived the challenges presented last year”. “The National Mental Health Commission (NMHC), in collaboration with the Mentally Healthy Workplace Alliance, has developed Australia’s first national mental health resources to support both business owners and employees during COVID-19. The resources, which are a series of easy to use evidence-based guides, acknowledge the difficulties and financial stress of COVID-19 on Australian workers and provide simple and practical advice that can help employers and employees recognise the signs that someone may need support, and assist them to find help when they need it”.

Small Biz Matters – a half hour program each week where you can work ON your business rather than IN it.with Alexi Boyd from Boyd Office Management ServicesDate: 26 June 2018 Ah, the end of Financial Year (otherwise known as EOFY by retailers trying to be original each and every year) can seem daunting and a little bit scary for businesses. There are accounts to reconcile, payroll and super to check and pay and of course the June BAS ever present in our bookkeeping part of our lives. But it DOESN’T have to be that difficult…. Joining us today is Michele Grisdale, a BAS Agent and Bookkeeper from Rainforest Bookkeeping; whose philosophy is “We Give You Time Back to Enjoy Life”. The is a real ambassador for the profession; believing in the importance of compliance and accuracy but balancing it with making the software we implement in our businesses actually doing the heavy lifting. Welcome to the show Michele. Topics we’ll be covering: Sole Traders and Small Businesses are critical to the growth and development of this country The problem they do their TAFE or education require for their skills but no one tells them how to run a business.  TAFE has finally started to realise this an is now offering fully-subsidised Skills for Business Training. https://www.tafensw.edu.au/skillsforbusiness This is a step in the right direction and you need to be educated about how to run your business BUT it is still keeping all of the business stress reliant on you and your partner.   Why it is much more expensive to try to do everything yourselves?  If you are trying to do everything yourself or relying on a partner, how much unnecessary stress is it adding to your life how much are you losing trying to do everything yourself?  3 hours per week doing paperwork - how much could you be earning during that? how much are your relationships suffering - is it worth it? Time for data entry, filing, storage - then finding the paperwork for the accountant at tax time. Why using cloud systems and less paper saves us all time, money and real estate End of year success means starting the year off right Choose a Cloud-based solution and remember its not always about which one is initially cheaper Find a way to reduce data entry Do you want to grow or just find better processes to free up your time? Look at whether you need an employee or if its better to use subcontractors Do you have a pro-active accountant? To find out more go to their website: www.rainforestbookkeeping.com.au Rainforest Bookkeeping was founded because we found so many small businesses and sole traders had no time to themselves. When cloud technology came along, we had time to offer more services and better advice because we had real time data. No longer were we spending 3-4 hours a day on data entry for each client - YAY! We can show you how to eliminate data entry and paper in your business. We can show you how to get your time back and stop discussing business all the time. We can show you how to automate many processes and eliminate double handling of every piece of paper. We can show you how to have everything ready for your accountant all of the time and eliminate the end of quarter/year stress. And if you want a little about me: Originally from Virginia Beach, Virginia USA, Michele Grisdale arrived in Sydney in 1995 (22 years ago) and loved it so much she never left.
