Dear __FIRST__

Welcome to the new look RED. In this issue we look at opportunities available to businesses during the recession to help you stretch each pound further. It is often the case that businesses look to cut costs and tighten their belts, but now is also the time to consider approaches to increase your long term profits.

In particular we take a look at some tips to help you make a success of buying a business from an administrator or receiver.

We also examine the effect the current exchange rate has on the pound and what this means for UK manufacturers in or entering the export market.

Finally, we show you that digital marketing can help save you money and deliver measurable results. RealityHouse explain three reasons why you should consider digital marketing.

Pay employees with childcare vouchers.
Pay employees who are parents partly with childcare vouchers that they can use to fund nursery and after school care. The first £55 a week paid as childcare vouchers is free of both tax and NICs in their hands and you do not have to pay employer's NIC on the value of the vouchers.

Let rooms in your own home.
The income is completely tax free up to £4,250 per property. If the rent is higher than this, check whether the normal approach of paying tax on the income after deducting allowable expenses is more tax-efficient than claiming the exemption of £4,250.
