“It's great to see Intuit helping voice the concerns for smaller businesses like myself. One of the key issues for me is the Taxation the UK has on it's small businesses. There is little or no incentive for tax relief when you begin trading. I'd like to see more incentives encouraging entrepreneurship starting with a reduction in Tax and NI in the first two years of trading.”

Stuart founded Orangepanda three and a half years ago while studying at University and began trading after he graduated. “In the first two years it was very tough for us, like everyone else, trying to build a brand for the business is hard in the early stages. However over time securing important meetings became slightly easier by building trust with our customers. Our emphasis is all about the client’s needs and delivering great results for them. I feel this is the key factor that has allowed us to grow in the recent challenging times.” While the economy is hard at the moment Stuart believes businesses must be optimistic with what the future holds regardless of which government comes into power.
