UK Businesses: Are you getting Mortgage Interest Relief on your Home Office?

The use of parts of residential properties for business purposes is growing and becoming more and more popular, particularly for small businesses. However, many business are not taking advantage of the mortgage interest relief on offer.

The interest relief comes into effect when a loan is taken out to acquire business and residential parts of a property. Interest on the loan to acquire the residential part qualifies for mortgage interest relief and interest on the business part can be allowed as a business deduction.

The business part has to be set aside for business purposes and the relief is calculated on a pro rata basis to the non business part of the property.

On a £200,000.00 mortgage, it could be possible to obtain £600.00 per annum relief.

It could be possible to back date a claim 6 years, if relief has not previously been claimed.

The business use of gas and electricity may also be entitled to relief.

Advertisement that sales - Plan your marketing programme. It should include commitment to capital resources. If you run a small business, you aren't likely to have a generous enough advertising budget that will allow you to run costly branding or campaign ads. Every advertisement you run must convey to your prospect a solid offer and attractive reasons to act quickly, and result in increased sales and an enhanced image of your company. Good advertising always pays its own way through increased sales and profits, improved cost-effectiveness, reduced selling costs and shortened selling cycles. A useful formula that will help you increase the effectiveness of your advertising efforts is A-I-D-A, which stands for Attention, Interest, Desire and Action. When creating an advertisement, always remind yourself that it should: (1) capture your prospects' Attention, (2) arouse their Interest in your offer, (3) create their Desire for your product or service, and (4) provide a powerful spur to Action, that is, turn your prospect into buyers. Remember, bad advertising is an unproductive expense, and good advertising is an investment in future profits!
Re: Trade Shows - Are They Worth It? - HI, I have used trade shows (not participated) to collect potential clients. For example, the Home & Garden Industry is extremely behind the time in regards to their websites. I attended an Home & Garden Expo in Denver and collected all the companies contact information. I plan on cold calling & mailing information to each business. It also gave me time to research the industry more, talk directly to the owners in many cases, and learn more about what they need.
