Corporation tax penalties

A company tax return must be filed no later than 12 months after the end of the accounting period to which it relates. However, the corporation tax for that period is due earlier and must be paid by nine months and one day after the end of the accounting period.

The Emotional Side of Cash Flow

No one talks about this enough.
Poor cash flow isn’t just financial.
It’s emotional.
It affects:
• Sleep
• Confidence
• Decision-making
• Leadership clarity

When founders operate in uncertainty, they hesitate.
When they hesitate, growth slows.
Financial clarity creates mental clarity.

What’s one financial uncertainty that causes you the most stress?

Our internal ‘Shout Out’ is a chance for the Focal team to recognise and celebrate colleagues who go above and beyond to support one another.

Every team member who receives a Shout Out is entered into our quarterly draw, with the winner receiving half a day off to enjoy whenever they choose!

This quarter, Grace was nominated for stepping up and helping out while members of the team were on holiday, as well as keeping our shared office space clean, tidy and welcoming for everyone.

When Debt Is Smart

Debt isn’t the enemy.
Unstructured debt is.

Used strategically, debt can:
• Fund expansion
• Smooth cash flow cycles
• Unlock opportunity

But it should always be supported by:
• Forecasting
• Margin confidence
• Clear ROI logic

The question isn’t “Is debt bad?”

It’s: Does this borrowing strengthen or strain the business?

If you’re considering borrowing or investing in growth, having the right numbers and forecasts behind the decision can make all the difference.

Need help understanding whether funding will strengthen your business? Get in touch with our team to discuss your plans.

Have you ever used funding strategically, or only reactively?

Focal Fika at !

Today, the Focal team stepped away from our screens and headed to Mimi’s for a little Fika break.

We enjoyed some lovely drinks, delicious cakes and, most importantly, plenty of friendly chat and time together away from our desks.

It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day, so taking a little time to pause, recharge and catch up as a team is always welcome!

Thanks to Mimi’s for having us, we’ll definitely be back!
