There are changes happening that every small business should know about.

As from April 2028, paper and web filing routes will close. Small companies and micro-entities will need to use approved commercial software to file their accounts, with new profit and loss reporting requirements.

Melissa Hardwick, Head of CoSec at Carpenter Box, explains what the reforms mean and why businesses should review their filing processes before the deadline.

If you handle Companies House accounts for your business, this is one to read.

The Big Fat Greek Club is heading into Year Four.

Created by Panina Shepherd of Acumen Law and Kyriakos Baxevanis of Nostos Hove, the Club offers a more relaxed approach to business networking. People sit down over lunch and get to know each other properly without the usual pressure to work the room.

The new year kicks off on Friday 11 September at Nostos in Hove, with a special Heart2Heart conversation featuring Lyndsey Clay of Connected Brighton and Helen Pomery of Tottington Manor.

Every technology investment should support your wider business strategies.

New software is always emerging, AI is advancing quickly, cybersecurity is evolving, hybrid working and cloud computing have changed how organisations operate. But adding technology without a clear purpose won't always make your work easier.

Jermaine Weeden from ITDS Managed Services understands what happens when systems do not work well together.

For example staff spend extra time looking for documents, entering the same details more than once, gathering information, and waiting for approvals. These small inefficiencies soon add up.

His advice? Start with the way your business works. Fix disconnected systems. Automate repetitive tasks when it makes sense. Make sure each piece of technology meets a real business need.

Want to take a closer look at how your technology is working?

Sussex businesses are helping The Starr Trust change young lives.

The charity supports young people aged 10 to 25 who face obstacles in sport, art, education or mental wellbeing. Over the past year, its trustees have allocated £46,600 in grants.

Local businesses play a big part in making this work possible.
Brighton CCTV has supported the charity for around ten years. Evergreen Waste donates a percentage of its turnover and gets involved with fundraising. Kaiser Carpet Cleaning has joined them, donating 2% of every invoice raised.

The impact is clear in the stories of Daniel and Veronika. Support from The Starr Trust has helped Daniel pursue his talent for chess and Veronika has received funding to continue dancing after moving to the UK from Ukraine due to the war.

🚀 Issue 504 of Sussex Business Times is here.

This month feels like a real mix of new chapters, fresh ideas and the people shaping business across Sussex.

Our cover story follows Mayo Wynne Baxter as the firm settles into its new home at Napier House in Brighton. Chief Executive Dean Orgill reflects on more than 160 years of history, the changing world of work and one thing that hasn’t changed: business still comes down to people and relationships.

Elsewhere, we meet the team behind the new Mental Health & Wellbeing Network Brighton, while our charity pages share some brilliant work happening across the region. Varndean College students are taking on a 100km Lake District trek for Rockinghorse Children’s Charity, and local businesses continue to rally behind The Starr Trust.

There’s plenty of practical thinking too, with insight on AI, Companies House changes, commercial finance, succession planning, recruitment and the vehicle market.

And the events calendar is busy. The Sussex Business Show returns to Brighton Dome, Mike Monk Events heads to Eastbourne and Gatwick, and TEDx Worthing prepares to take the stage under this year’s theme, We Begin Here.

A big thank you to every contributor, partner, advertiser and reader who continues to be part of SBT.

📖 Issue 504 is out now. We hope you enjoy it.

You alright mate?

After interviewing more than 150 people on his Different Hats podcast, Sam realised that we are all asking each other the wrong questions and explores this premise in a heartfelt feature in SBT.

Men are often advised to “Talk to someone” or “Ask for help,” but this only scratches the surface of the issue. Men are not struggling with speaking up; the real issue is that they do not know what it means to be a man anymore.

For generations, men were handed a fairly simple script. Provide. Protect. Stay strong. Don't cry. Keep going. Run after money and status. A lot of men follow this script, achieve their goals, only to find it provides only shallow external validation and that something important is still missing.

Want to know more about how Sam Thomas is working to change the system and extend a hand to all of the men struggling out there?
