‘After the sale’ a quick guide to getting paid and staying legal! Matt Perkins, FreeAgent Most small business owners get started because they have a great commercial idea, or they simply want to have the freedom of working for themselves.

This workshop is designed to give a basic overview of how we built FreeAgent around the core of what businesses need to do with regards to invoicing, getting paid and meeting the reporting requirements to HMRC after the fluffy marketing stuff and hard sales activity have been successful.
