That puts wholesale and retail at 18% of the local micro-business base.

Salford ranks 343 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 88% is in line with the 89% average across them. In professional, scientific and technical services (1,280 micro businesses in Salford), fee income, work in progress at the year end and how directors are paid are the key decisions, so we plan these with you before the accounts are finalised. In construction (1,230 micro businesses in Salford), Construction Industry Scheme deductions, retentions and stage payments can distort profit, so we reconcile your CIS statements before the accounts are prepared.
