Manage your team spendings with smart software

Looking for a sophisticated tech solution that allows you to manage your company’s transactions in one place? Spend management solution Payhawk offers company cards, expense management software, AP (Accounts Payable software), invoice management and subscription management, among other features. The Payhawk cards have built-in controls, so finance teams and managers can set their own spend limits, ATM withdrawal caps and approval workflows for fund requests. This means there’s almost zero risk of overspending. Cards are also connected to Payhawk’s innovative expense management software, so payments are seen in real time and your finance team can monitor cash flow and budgets. At the same time, Payhawk’s OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tech makes receipt data capture easy, while integrations with ERPs (enterprise resource planning platforms) and accounting software mean that all spend data is perfectly synced.

Discover a different way to sell your business

Looking for a potentially lucrative exit strategy? An employee ownership trust (EOT) could be worth considering. EOT is an ownership structure where a trust is established to hold a controlling interest in a limited company on behalf of the company’s employees. It offers many benefits to a business owner, including the ability to sell the business at fair market value, while removing the need to negotiate with third-party buyers. There are also financial benefits, such as potentially lower transaction expenses, the sale of a controlling interest to the EOT being exempt from capital gains tax, and the ability to distribute excess cash to the vendors tax-free as part of equity value. Employees never obtain direct ownership of shares held by the trust, but they do receive financial benefits such as qualifying for income tax-free bonuses and tax-advantaged share schemes. Visit doyleclayton.co.uk and see how Doyle Clayton can help your business convert to this model.
