Trading Information
I am, legally, Roy Benham, but prefer to be known as Beth Nicole Gordon, founder of Benico Enterprises in 2008 and The Office Connection in 2023.
Since 2003 I have been producing websites and providing sole trader accounts and administration.
As of November 2023 I have started using Zoho Books for my Invoicing and Accounting.
My Annual Profit does not currently exceed £1,000 per year so I am not currently liable for taxes. This is often referred to as a side hustle. I am looking to find enough freelance projects that my income from this business will exceed £1,000 per year.
My Annual Turnover is less than £85,000 and therefore I do not need to register for VAT.
Only Names, Phone Numbers, Email addresses and passwords are obtained and retained for the purpose of providing services and invoicing. No other information is obtained or retained, unless specifically required for provision of services.
No information is passed to any other organisation without your written permission, or legal request.
Contact details and passwords will be collected and retained for no longer than is necessary. I will review all stored data on a 6 monthly basis to consider whether document retention is required. This is scheduled and diarised for March & September.
All information is managed and treated in confidence in accordance with the Data Protection Act. As a non-profit business I am not registered with the Information Commissioners Office, due to exemption.
