Rules are strict when it comes to recruiting an apprentice
Q I want to increase the size of my business and one option I am looking at is to take on a couple of apprentices. Not only will they be easier to afford, but I want young people to be able to come up through my business and train to the systems I have in place. What are the advantages and disadvantages of taking on an apprentice and how do I go about it?
How should I be paying my employee?
Q I have recently started to expand my small business and, as part of that, I have employed a person for the first time. I am not sure how I should be paying them. Can you give me some advice on what issues I should be considering and how I should go about this?
How do I begin trading abroad?

Can I get help with the cost of research and development?
