Every accountancy firm will tell you they’re different. We prefer to show you. https://calendly.com/paul-meades/15min It doesn’t have to be that way.

Owner-managed businesses that grow from zero to £1m+ struggle to be as profitable as they should be. Many of the businesses we’ve helped are born from the talent and reputation of their owner. If that’s you, you’re exceptionally good at what you do; your ability is the very foundation of your business. But …

Running a business is about more than delivering a product or service
As your business grows, your role as the business owner needs to change, but you continue to do what you’ve always done. You’re torn between your responsibility for the business and your passion for what you do. Business may be good, you’re selling consistently and money is coming in, but, do you feel in control? Are you, the business owner, getting all the rewards you deserve? Could you be achieving more? If these questions sound familiar, we can help.

Think National Insurance is just another line on your payslip?

NI is what helps you qualify for certain benefits and the State Pension. If you’re 16+ and earning above the current thresholds, you’re already paying it through PAYE or Self Assessment.

Ignore it and you risk gaps in your NI record that could reduce what you get later.

Meades Group can:
- explain which NI classes apply to you
- check for gaps or overpayments
- plan voluntary contributions if needed

Message us to review your NI position.

In the heart of Britain, a troubling trend unfolds: over one in five working-age adults have stepped away from their jobs, with ill-health and disability leading this exodus. A revealing report, 'Keep Britain Working', highlights a staggering 300,000 people exit the workforce annually due to health issues, often facing a bleak chance of returning. Sir Charlie Mayfield warns of a ‘culture of fear’ hindering communication between employers and sick employees, which only deepens isolation. As chronic illnesses rise and mental health struggles mount, the question looms: how can we break this cycle of disconnection and support one another back to work? 🤔

- Check if you need a return
- Register you before 5 October 2026

In a shift towards boosting local economies, mayors across England are destined to gain the power to impose a tourist tax on overnight stays, affecting both UK residents and foreign visitors. This innovative fee, based on a percentage of spending, aims to funnel funds back into tourism initiatives. With plans for a parliamentary bill to be introduced soon, local authorities will oversee the collection and use of these funds. As the tourism landscape shifts, could this tax enhance the experience for visitors, or will it deter them from exploring our vibrant cities? 🏰 What do you think? Share your thoughts below!

In a bid to enhance security and streamline processes, Companies House is revamping its login system. From December, objections to striking off a limited company must be lodged via the new ‘Make an objection’ online service, moving away from email submissions. New users must now sign in with a GOV.UK One Login, centralising access to various government services with a single email and password. Existing users will eventually transition to this system, requiring individual accounts linked to personal logins, as shared accounts will soon face security hurdles. Is your business ready for these changes? 💼
