  • The Real Cost of the Employment Rights Act – Ep 75

    The Real Cost of the Employment Rights Act – Ep 75
    2026/06/22
    The government's own impact assessment puts the cost of the Employment Rights Act at up to £5 billion a year, with small firms hit hardest.In this episode, Matt and Charlie walk through what the Act actually changes on the ground. Statutory sick pay from day one. The unfair dismissal qualifying period dropping from two years to six months. Zero-hours reform, fire-and-rehire restrictions, and a stack of new admin duties landing in stages over the next year.They talk about the real-world impact, not just the headline figures. The bartender who calls in sick after a night out. The pub landlord covering the cost. The warehouse manager trying to staff a shift he can no longer cancel. And the productivity question nobody in government seems to want to answer.It is a blunt, honest take on hiring, firing, and why Matt is now leaning towards offshoring rather than carrying more risk in the UK. Plus why a good HR partner has gone from nice-to-have to essential.Takeaways:🤒 Why day-one sick pay changes the maths on every hire⏱️ The two-year rule dropping to six months and what it means📋 The new admin and compliance burden landing on small firms🚪 Why fire-and-rehire and zero-hours reform make staffing harder🌍 The uncomfortable case for offshoring over UK hiringFollow Matt:📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mrmattholland/👨‍💻 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrmattholland/📱 TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mrmattholland❌ X - https://x.com/mrmattholland1Follow Charlie:📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theworkwearexpert👨‍💻 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlie-smith-1a55295b/

    The Books Are About to Go Public – Ep 74
    2026/06/15
    From April 2028, the profit and loss account you currently keep private goes onto the public record for anyone to read.In this episode, Matt and Charlie break down the Companies House shake-up that will force small and micro businesses to file full P&L accounts. No more filleted or abridged figures. Your margins, your labour spend, your bottom line, all of it visible.They get into who actually benefits from this. Suppliers spotting room to push prices up. Competitors studying where you spend. Banks, recruiters, and the nosy bloke down the road, all able to form a view off numbers that are already well over a year out of date.Along the way they cover how success gets judged in this country, the sacrifice behind the numbers nobody sees, and why this feels like state interference on something that wasn't broken.Takeaways:📂 What the 2028 Companies House change actually means for your business💷 Why suppliers seeing your margins could cost you on price🔍 How competitors and recruiters might read your accounts🏦 The knock-on effect for credit, borrowing, and supplier trust🤐 Why a private limited company should get to stay privateFollow Matt:📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mrmattholland/👨‍💻 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrmattholland/📱 TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mrmattholland❌ X - https://x.com/mrmattholland1Follow Charlie:📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theworkwearexpert👨‍💻 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlie-smith-1a55295b/

  • The VAT Cut That Misses the Point — Ep 73

    The VAT Cut That Misses the Point — Ep 73
    2026/06/08
    The government just announced a VAT cut for hospitality. Read the small print and it looks a lot less generous than the headline.In this episode, Matt and Charlie pull apart the Great British Summer Savings VAT cut: ten weeks at 5% on a narrow band of qualifying supplies, running from 25 June to 1 September. It sounds like a lifeline. The detail tells a different story.They get into why a ten-week window doesn't even cover a single VAT quarter, how the measure quietly picks winners inside the sector, and why the pubs and restaurants on their knees see almost nothing from it.Along the way: whether business owners ever really switch off on holiday, the treadmill feeling when growth doesn't show up in the numbers, and why doing well in Britain still feels like something you're meant to apologise for.Takeaways:📉 Why a ten-week VAT cut doesn't even cover one VAT quarter🍽️ How the small print leaves out most pubs and restaurants🎢 The way the measure quietly picks winners inside hospitality💷 What rising wage costs are really doing to the sector🔁 Why real support needs to run all year, not ten weeksFollow Matt:📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mrmattholland/👨‍💻 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrmattholland/📱 TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mrmattholland❌ X - https://x.com/mrmattholland1Follow Charlie:📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theworkwearexpert👨‍💻 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlie-smith-1a55295b/
