Burnham refuses to rule out tax rises in autumn Budget

Andy Burnham has refused to rule out tax rises in the upcoming autumn Budget, saying he "won't be unrealistic" about the "challenging" state of public finances.

The prime minister said he would take a "careful approach" to the economy, and defended his previously announced cost of living pledges as funded spending commitments.

Why successful businesses prepare before conditions improve

Economic uncertainty has affected the confidence of many small business owners. Rising costs, changing customer demand and pressure on cash flow have led some businesses to postpone investment until conditions improve. While this cautious approach is understandable, waiting for the economy to recover before taking action can mean missed opportunities.

A good starting point is to review profitability. Are all products and services making a worthwhile contribution? Have prices kept pace with increasing costs? Small adjustments to pricing or the product mix can have a significant impact on profits without requiring additional sales.
