I actually think its lack of profitable sales that causes most to go under.

You cannot book keep if you have not sold anything.

But do agree with   the rest

I quite agree but it is a shame when a profitable business then gets thumped with an almighty tax bill and goes under because they have not made provision for paying it. We know roughly how much the maximum amount of tax is due ( it will be less after allowances ) with a simple sum, and when it is due to be paid. (31 Jan)

Then you move Providers and do it again
