Businesses are in for a rough ride.

With sky-high taxes and spiraling wage costs, April is set to be even tougher.

And here’s the kicker—we’re not immune either.

Everyone knows the gold rush story—the real winners weren’t the miners but the ones selling the spades. The same is happening now.

Software companies—who power so many businesses—are quietly hiking their prices.

Just look at our own software costs:

💰 2023: £18,845
💰 2024: £23,716 (25.8% increase)
💰 2025: Projected to hit £29,000+

And who covers these rising costs? The end customer.

It’s a vicious cycle—businesses pass costs on, inflation rises, and more businesses struggle to survive. Some won’t make it through the next 12 months.

What Can You Do?

1️⃣ Trim the Fat – Review your accounts, cut what you don’t need, but don’t cut what keeps you profitable.

2️⃣ Get Ahead of Tax Bills – Proper tax planning isn’t an expense—it’s a lifeline. A proactive accountant can save you thousands in tax and cash flow, which might be the difference between survival and closure.

The cheapest approach is ignorance—until you wake up to find there’s no cash in the bank. Don’t wait until it’s too late.
