2024 Reflections / 2025 Visions
Our CEO, Anil, reflects on the major milestones of 2024 and what's in store for the year to come.
The post-Brexit business subsidy scheme
Today the UK government unveiled their new Subsidy Control Bill. The law will govern how businesses are subsidised from 2022. According to Kwasi Kwarteng, Business Secretary, the new scheme is designed to back new industries and create jobs across the UK.
Hiring in a hybrid world
The hiring landscape has changed a lot over the past 15 months. We go through how you can make this work for you to take your business to the next level.
Bank of England keeps interest rate at 0.1%
With consumer spending up and restrictions coming to an end, our economy is recovering at pace. In fact it’s recovering much more quickly than the Bank of England (BoE) had forecast. In recent months official figures have indicated that inflation rose to 2.1% in May, from 1.5% in April. This is slightly above the BoE’s 2% target, which may seem insignificant, but 0.3% is a big percentage difference in real terms. Especially given that interest has been kept so low for so many years.
What is a flex loan?

Fireside chat with Bantham Technologies
At Kriya, our whole team connects once a week for our (currently virtual) Townhall. Now that restrictions are easing and businesses are able to take stock of the past year, we invite a customer along to talk to our CEO, Anil Stocker. These fireside chats are an opportunity for everyone in our business to understand the challenges and opportunities that SMEs face.
Going face-to-face with clients: is your firm ready for hybrid client relationships?
Accounting firms and their clients have been faced with many challenges over the course of the pandemic. Business shutdowns and countrywide lockdowns have meant that physical meetings have been a no-no. Video meetings and online communication may have saved the day, but what happens next? As the restrictions ease and society opens up, how does your accounting team get back to in-person meetings, face-to-face interactions and being back ‘in the room’?
Seasonal demand: can you handle the heat?
We talk a lot about seasonal demand at MarketFinance because it’s a challenge many of our customers face. Although pinch points or fertile months are never quite the same for any two businesses, the advice we give to help manage the effects rarely changes.
