How care aware are you?

CARE AWARE

In todays society amd from personal experience, I know how difficult it can be to decide what to do when a loved one is taken ill or diagnosed with chronic disease and the impact it can have on day to day running of your business.

The benefit of my experience is that I know what questions need to be asked to ensure YOU make the best decisions and what to consider, plan and structure for in the changing times ahead in regards to those old age problems and rising Care Costs. 

THIS NEW service “CARE AWARE” covers various topics such as:

  • Considerations of what you may have to prepare for when older family members need help and how it may affect you and or your business.
  • Health- Social Care – It’s impact.
    know the difference.
  • Lasting Power of Attorney Finance & Health & Wealth fare
  • The importance of making a will.
  • Considering A Care Home, Ask the right questions.
  • How to manage and cope and structure for changing times ahead when dealing with loved ones who are losing or have lost Mental Capacity.

LPA’S Lasting Power of Attorney

Lasting power of Attorneys is a legal document which allows the person ( the Doner) who may in the future lose “mental capacity“to make decisions for themsleves.

The Doner appoints an Attorney ( someone they trust ) to make decisions on their behalf.

The benefit of making both Lpa’s is really about making an advanced decision and making sure your affairs both in terms of finance and health & wealfare are taken care of why you are in a position to state your wishes and appoint someone you trust should something happen beyond, your control.

There is value investing in the right advice before you start your business.

Starting a business new business venture is all well and good and has possibilities to provide you with a great living. However, all too many people start a business without doing their homework and believe that just because they love the idea have done no homework in making sure that there is a market for what they wish to offer.

Research is one of the fundamental considerations in any business if it is going to be fruitful, otherwise why bother it may as well remain a hobby.

Some people start their business from a passion with a hobby, but it is slow. The value in the slowness is insight into their customers and understanding what their customers want, smelling peak times and lean times.

Being able to smell a trend is also important as to what may be coming up for the line of business you are in. It helps you stay ahead of the curve.

If no one is prepared to pay you for what you are offering does this sound like a viable business or is the expectation of what you are offering perceived as if it should be free?

Local Self Assessment Expert

So, why choose me, Jane Cooper ? That’s simple, because I am an expert in Self assessment and because of my back ground, experience, and knowledge.
Thirty years ago, I worked for H M Revenue & Customs, until the self assessment program was launched in 1995. At that time, I had acquired my training in self assessment just as the program went live to the public. I was head hunted by an accountant for his private practice.
In that, I set up a self assessment program from scratch, with 13years tax returns filed without penalties due to firm, whilst, I developed and maintained strong client relationships. Through out that time, I set up simple systems that worked, met the needs of the owner, HM Revenue & Customs, but more importantly, the needs of the clients.
