There’s every opportunity for productive networking at meetings as well as great respect for individual enterprise; members offer one another unlimited encouragement
If you want to get ahead in business join this friendly, proactive Group which is focused on promoting you - and your success
and support while every effort is made to promote one another’s interests. The Think Business Group benefits from co-operation rather than competition and is driven by a commitment to promoting success in business. It offers a warm welcome to new members, so why not give it a try?

Welcome to Bolsover Voice Welcome to the first edition of Bolsover Voice. We have been delivering to the area for over a year now and the feedback has been that although you like the magazine and Amber Valley is just literally round the corner… it didn’t feel local enough with it being a different district. Therefore, we have re-launched and re-branded this issue just for this area and it now includes local information that is relevant just to Bolsover. Check out our ‘out and about section on pages 10 & 11 if you don’t believe me!!
Don’t forget to mention the Voice when you use any of the companies in this Magazine
The front cover has been submitted by a local photographer and is taken on the A38 bridge at South Normanton. For more information on this fantastic photographer, check out his website….www.alecmalbonphotgraphy.com.

This month we have lots of articles and a couple of reader offers that may be of interest to you. We would love it if you would like to submit a local dog walk or a favourite recipe.

Your April accounting questions answered This month our friendly neighbourhood accountant, James, has a couple of FAQ’s for you to consider…...
Q. I have put my business up for sale. I am self-employed and not VAT registered, but the proceeds from the business sale will take me over the VAT threshold. Do I have to register for VAT and charge VAT on the sale of the business? A. If you sell the business assets and goodwill together, so that the purchaser can pick up where you stop and carry on the business, it will be treated as being a transfer of a going concern and outside the scope of VAT. So you don't have to charge VAT on the business sale or register for VAT. More information about transferring a business as a 'going concern' is given in the VAT leaflet no. 700/9: Transfer of a business as a going concern.
