Overview

Due to the current economic climate, the nature of business is changing. Employees are increasingly setting up as consultants, highlighting many issues that they were previously unaware of. As a lone consultant, or as a partner in a small practice, activities that would be handled by entire departments in large organisations fall on your shoulders, eg accountancy, book-keeping, taxation, VAT and marketing. There are also specific issues faced by consultants, such as what to charge, agreeing suitable terms with clients and Professional Indemnity insurance.

This seminar will address these considerations, as well as provide valuable networking opportunities to give you the chance to share experiences and best practice with other delegates.
