Content is information, not advice
Our articles are general information for UK businesses. They are not legal, financial, tax or professional advice, and shouldn't be relied on as such. Always take advice suited to your own circumstances before acting.
Accuracy & corrections
We work hard to be accurate and to cite our sources, but we can't guarantee every article is complete or error-free, and figures can date as rules and rates change. Spotted a mistake? Email corrections@smebrief.co.uk and we'll review it and put it right.

Links & advertising
We link to third-party sites and carry advertising, including links to services operated by our publisher or commercial partners. We're not responsible for third-party content, and a link is not an endorsement. Sponsored material is always clearly labelled.
Liability
To the extent permitted by law, we're not liable for any loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, this site or its content.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and any disputes fall to the courts of England and Wales.
