Navigating the financial side of running a business isn't easy, something that couldn't be more true than with VAT. Going registered is a decision very few of us feel equipped to make and something I found myself un-prepared for when the time came a few years ago.

Since going VAT registered I've made a lot of mistakes and looking back, there's so much I wish I'd known about how VAT works, what going registered entails and the challenges / implications to consider. So I thought I'd share them in this episode!

Tune in to learn more about VAT and hear my experience, from why I regret going registered to how I'd approach it differently.
