At the OSBC we are focussed on getting businesses paid what they’re owed when they’re in dispute with customers over payments for goods or services. Similarly, the Business Banking Resolution Service may be able to help resolve banking disputes. With just one month to go before the BBRS closes to new registrations, time is running out. If you think you could benefit, whether you’re an owner or a director, contact the BBRS and see if they can help ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eAnviP4m

E-invoicing is on the Government’s agenda. We’re behind the curve in the UK. Some businesses find they can’t export into markets where e-invoicing has been mandated or where it’s what the firms they wish to trade with use. We need to get with the programme. But how?

Small Business Commissioner, Liz Barclay 📣 "The World Federation for Mental Health says: “It’s time to prioritise mental health in the workplace.” For me that means small businesses too.... where mental health problems are increasing, often due to late or missing payments. You can't function well if your mental health is on the floor. Let's see if we can help you get paid and let you get some sleep at night."
It’s #WorldMentalHealthDay 🌍 Take that first step to getting help. Save and share this post and help us make sure there’s no mind left behind.
