Claude are going in on small businesses. They have just launched an AI fluency course and a skills pack for small businesses. Might be US centric for now, but worth exploring.

Emma Jones, the Small Business Commissioner explains "The first reading of the [late payments] Bill is expected to happen sometime next week. This means the Bill will be introduced in the House of Lords and then the passage through Parliament begins. It is difficult to be precise on a date by which the Bill becomes law but if there are few complications, the Commercial Payments Bill (as it is expected to be called) could come into legal effect as soon as July 2027."

Useful piece from a hirer's perspective. Whilst just the POV of one individual, lots of hirers will have similar criteria. Worth a read.

This list of contract red flags is a handy checklist. I'm going to update our resources to include it, and they have fuller AI driven "contract checker" which might be worth playing with.

Some trends data from the German (DACH) freelancer market, day rates are starting to decline - echoing what we've seen in the UK from Major Players data. Whilst day rates aren't how everyone charges, they're a good bellweather of how the freelance market is doing. This doesn't just mean less work, it means more supply.

Thought this piece from The Tax Cut is really great, on the consultancy around small companies, and how limited company owners will need potentially provide WAAAAY more details on how they're paying themselves. Yet another burden on small company owners?
