## About this tender

There is a perceived barrier to achieving and surpassing the VAT threshold of £85,000 for some early stage and smaller businesses that are close to that level of turnover.

We are looking for an organisation that would support a cohort of businesses whose turnover is currently less than £85,000 but are close to the threshold to do two things:(1.) Masterclasses covering all aspects of VAT in relation to becoming VAT registered. Demistifying the quirky rules surrounding VAT. Provide businesses with knowledge about the obligations, thresholds and when to register, compulsory or voluntary registration and flat rate versus cash accounting schemes.

(2.) Followed by one to one growth business support for those businesses who are close to the VAT threshold. Working with the business to grow it significantly enough to surpass the threshold amount of £85,000 so that the businesses profit is not affected negatively.
