Government Legislation

Now we have already mentioned a factor to add to our application, that of Government Legislation so write that as your first factor. I have lost touch with red tape so I would appreciate anyone's views on the current requirement for book-keeping software. 

I do know the VAT office had certain requirements although it has now merged with the Revenue office (HM Revenues & Customs) which may or may not make compliance easier. So this is a Factor simply because they have expectations of any software that claims to keep books.

Its good to note at this point that SmallAccounts is targeted at very small businesses (like one-man-bands etc.) that may or may not be Limited and may or may not be VAT registered. You know the kind of proprietor who stashes all his/her paperwork into a carrier bag and dumps it on the accountants desk every April 5th. So now you may be thinking "How does SmallAccounts benefit a business owner who doesn't actually want to do, and doesn't do, his/her own paperwork?" Well, for now, lets just say that another factor to add to our list is Accessibility.
