For entrepreneurs who have ever had questions such as how does VAT work, What are the pros and cons of leasing or buying equipment for my business, or what is invoice financing, a new online resource, Informi, may be the answer.

Informi includes tools to help find an accountant or bookkeeper, corporation tax calculator, budget spreadsheet template, cash flow statement template, petty cash log, and National Insurance calculator.

Information pages are organised by subject areas such as starting a business, managing finances, and the use of technology. Users can also join in the discussion through the comments sections and forums.
