Is your business ready for the April 2025 cost increases?
The National Living Wage will rise by 6.7 per cent to £12.21 per hour, while employer National Insurance (NI) contributions will increase to 15 per cent.
These changes will have a direct impact on staffing costs, cash flow, and overall profitability.
