BUSINESS owners across Sale and Altrincham are set to benefit from a new Government initiative which aims to make life easier for the estimated 2.9 million home-based companies across the UK, according to an Altrincham business owner.
Phil Cornish, who runs TaxAssist Accountants, said: “This is welcome support for local home-based business owners.
“The Home Business Initiative is designed to cut the red tape associated with running a business from home and encourage more people to take the plunge.
“Local entrepreneurs will no longer have to file for planning permission to run a home-based business, the majority will be exempt from business rates and a new tenancy agreement will make it easier to run businesses from rented accommodation."
