Advantage to offer legal and accountancy advice
Advantage is to offer its agent members legal and accountancy advice for the first time.
Members will be offered an initial free consultation on any related issue affecting their business.
Members with legal concerns will be able to email law firm Piper Smith Watton and a specialist will contact them to offer advice.
Typical examples of areas of concern could include ATOL and IATA licensing, employment law and human resources.
Members with financial or accountancy issues can contact accountancy firm MHA MacIntyre, which is offering an email helpdesk on areas including year-end accounts; employee and director taxation; payroll and VAT returns; annual TOMS calculations; approaching banks and venture capitalists for financial support; and tax recovery against research and development.
If a member’s needs extend beyond the initial consultation, Piper Smith Watton and MHA MacIntyre Hudson will be offering their services at competitive consultancy rates, said Advantage.
Advantage finance director Noel Mansell said: "We are increasingly able to offer members a far broader range of services and consultancy advice than before.
"We are here to ensure we support our members in all aspects of their business and this type of specialist knowledge is often key to the smooth running of an organisation and total compliance with the law and industry regulations."
