Independent guidance for UK business owners About the publisher

Wise Business Advice publishes practical information for UK business owners, directors, managers and people considering starting or selling a business. Our aim is to explain commercial issues clearly and help readers identify the questions they should ask before making a decision.

Publisher and experience

The website is published by Jonathan Fagan, a solicitor, recruiter, business broker and company director with more than twenty years’ commercial experience. Articles may also be contributed by people with relevant professional or first-hand experience. Each published article should identify its author or publishing organisation.

Sources and accuracy

Where an article discusses law, regulation, tax, official processes or statistics, we aim to link to the relevant primary or authoritative source. Publication and last-updated dates should be visible. Readers should check current official guidance because requirements and commercial conditions change.

Professional advice

Content is provided for general information. It is not a substitute for legal, financial, tax, employment, insolvency or other professional advice based on a reader’s circumstances. Articles dealing with higher-risk subjects include an additional reminder where appropriate.

Commercial relationships

Wise Business Advice may refer to businesses and organisations connected with the publisher, including recruitment, business-broker, transcription and charitable activities. A relevant relationship should be disclosed where it could affect how a reasonable reader evaluates the content. Sponsored or paid material must be labelled clearly.

Use of technology

Research and drafting tools may assist with the preparation or organisation of material. Published content remains subject to human editorial review. We do not treat generated text as evidence and factual claims should be checked against suitable sources.

Corrections

If you identify an error, please contact us through the website. Material errors will be corrected as soon as reasonably possible. Where a correction substantially changes the meaning of an article, the update should be made clear to readers.

Business Bus Stop archive

Selected BusinessBusStop.com articles have been retained because they remain useful or reflect relevant first-hand experience. Duplicate, obsolete and thin material has not been republished. Retained older articles should keep their original publication date and be reviewed before any claim that they are current.
