The largest groups of micro businesses in Wealden are construction (1,520), professional, scientific and technical services (1,330) and wholesale and retail (1,050).

In professional, scientific and technical services (1,330 micro businesses in Wealden), 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 wholesale and retail (1,050 micro businesses in Wealden), closing stock and the VAT treatment of different product lines are the usual pressure points, so we value stock carefully and check your VAT records.
