💭 How many great business ideas have you had... and never acted on? Every successful business starts with a single thought. A problem you've noticed. A better way of doing something. An idea you've carried around for months, or even years. The difference isn't having all the answers. It's taking that first step. In our latest newsletter, From Thought to Action: Where Every Business Begins, we explore what entrepreneurship really looks like, why uncertainty is part of the journey, and how the right support can help turn an idea into reality. Whether you're thinking about starting a business, have recently launched, or are looking to grow, you don't have to figure it all out on your own. This World Entrepreneurs' Day, we're celebrating not just the businesses we see today, but the ideas that could become tomorrow's success stories. 📩 Read our latest newsletter and discover how the Business Support Service can help you take your first step.

💡 Every great business starts with an idea… But turning that idea into reality takes ambition, resilience and the right support along the way.

From taking the first steps towards starting a business, to navigating growth and exploring new opportunities, entrepreneurs don’t have to do it alone. The Business Support Service is here to help connect businesses with the guidance, resources and support they need to move forward. 🚀 Have an idea you want to explore? Looking to take your next step?

💡 Got a side hustle? Make sure you know the tax rules. Whether you're selling handmade products online, creating content, dog walking, tutoring, freelancing, or earning extra income through a passion project, HMRC is reminding people to check whether they need to declare their earnings. As more people explore additional income streams to boost their finances, understanding your tax responsibilities can help you avoid unexpected bills, penalties, and unnecessary stress down the line. HM Revenue & Customs' "Tax Help for Hustles" campaign provides straightforward guidance for online sellers, service providers, content creators, and anyone earning money outside their main job. If you've started a side hustle recently, now is a great time to check where you stand!

📅 PAYE deadline reminder for employers If you run payroll, don't forget that your monthly PAYE and National Insurance payment for your July 2026 payroll is due to HMRC this month. Making your payment on time helps you avoid unnecessary interest and penalties, while keeping your payroll obligations on track. Most employers paying electronically must ensure their payment reaches HMRC by the 22nd of the month (or the **19th if paying by post). Taking a few minutes to check your payroll and payment details now could save you time and stress later.
