Reasons to use our Accounting

Your conventional accountant is expensive and slow. We save you money and time.

VAT  

For the registration of VAT, your turnover exceeds a certain threshold £61,000 per annum as of April 2006. However you can voluntarily register if your turnover is below this threshold. This then allows you to recover the VAT which you have been charged on company expenses. For many businesses, registration quite simply means tax saved for you, but many people don’t bother to register to avoid all the paperwork.

We take all the hassle out of you, and we can offload all the hastle of managing your financial records. We calculate the tax due on your invoices, track the VAT owing to Customs and Excise on your web site, and complete your quarterly VAT return for you. All you have to do is receive payment or write a cheque for the difference between the VAT your company has paid and the VAT it has collected.

We can review the effects of registration on your company and, if appropriate, handle the registration and resulting paperwork for you - it’s hassle free, and could save you a lot of money.

Credit Action, the national money education charity, has reported that twice as many British adults managed to get into debt when they went away on holiday this year compared with the same period last year.

Further statistics revealed that while 61% of British holidaymakers admit to overspending while they are away on holiday, over a quarter are alarmed when they come home and discover just how much they’ve spent.

If you’re one of those who has come home to discover you’ve spent more than you thought you had, don’t panic, there are steps you can take to get back in control of your finances.

The first step is to take a good look at your overall financial situation, and if you have run up debts then it’s important to face up to them. Don’t keep those close to you in the dark either, especially if they share financial commitments with you – they can offer support.

Draw up a realistic monthly budget and prioritise your payments, and ask yourself if you can meet them all. If not, look to see if there are ways you can reduce your monthly outgoings temporarily while you straighten things out.

If you’re struggling to meet your financial commitments then it’s crucial you speak to the lenders concerned, you may be able to agree new, more realistic monthly repayments. And if you need professional debt advice there are organisations, such as the Citizens Advice Bureau www.citizensadvice.org.uk, Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS) www.cccs.co.uk and National Debtline www.nationaldebtline.co.uk who can advise you for free.

And, given the current economic climate, if you need to apply for credit as a short-term measure to help you get your finances straight, then it’s a good idea to contact ProGages Financial Services.

Improve your credit rating and follow tips to secure a good mortgage deal

As banks feel the effects of the economic downturn, limited funds can mean that only those with a squeaky-clean credit rating have a chance of securing a good credit deal. For the thousands of homeowners who will be looking to secure a new mortgage deal this year, that doesn’t make life easy.

Here’s how to arrange the best possible mortgage deal:

• Ensure you take into account all of the costs – arrangement fees can really bump up the overall cost you pay.
• If you can afford to, it may be worth shortening the mortgage term – it can save thousands of pounds over the life of the mortgage.
• Don’t exaggerate on your application form – lenders can check the information you supply and if it isn’t accurate you could jeopardise your chances of securing a deal.
• Mortgages can be confusing, if you’re struggling to make sense of what’s on offer then take advice from a Mortgage Adviser.

Our staff is multilingual can speak Urdu, Panjabi, Gujariti,Hindi and English.

Please give us a call and get better and suitable products.

Several million bank customers were put at risk of becoming victims of identity fraud last week when their personal details ended up on a computer sold on eBay. The computer, which sold for just £35, contained customers’ sensitive data on its hard drive. Details included bank account details and in some cases customers’ signatures, mobile phone numbers and mothers’ maiden names.

Such data breaches are increasing these days and they leave those affected highly vulnerable to identity theft. That’s why it’s so important for consumers to be extra vigilant and to take measures to protect themselves.

Steps to protect yourself against ID fraud:

• Keep an eye on your finances and look out for unusual activity.
• Review your passwords – don’t use the same password for more than one account.
• Never give your personal or account details to anyone who phones you unexpectedly.
• Don’t reveal your PIN or passwords to anyone.
• Keep an eye on your credit file to ensure no accounts or loans have been fraudulently set up in your name.
• Be wary of emails that begin “Dear customer”, rather than using your name.
• If you think you have been a victim, tell your bank or building society immediately.

• Am I able to consolidate existing debt through remortgaging?

Adding existing debts to your mortgage extend the repayment term and increase the overall cost of the debt.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
