to clarify i dnt mean claiming course fee as expense, I am looking for free resources / options available out there to expand my skills and business,.Originally posted by northernladuk View PostI haven't heard of any and don't see why they would. I don't think most contractors need a business studies course let alone a specific one. Maybe one aimed at small businesses but not contractors specifically.
Have a search in the professional forums before asking about claiming course fees through the company. Been discussed many times.
currently a self employed contractor, but long term goal is to expand my limited company and turn it into a bigger business

funding studies
Hi
I’m thinking of studying business studies to expand my knowledge,
What funding options are available to self-employed contractors?
Are there any college/university/government program offering free business studies?
Many Thanks
