A SMALL business tax specialist in Bourton-on-the-Water is hosting a free business clinic on Monday, July 4 in support of ‘Independents Day’ to promote and celebrate independent businesses across the UK.

Roger Mills, who has owned and run TaxAssist Accountants for more than five years, said: “On the day that America celebrates its independence, our fourth of July celebrations will be all about local independents: the retailers, service providers and other small businesses who are the backbone of our economy.

"We’ll be running a free business clinic on the day between 1-5pm at our offices on Bourton Industrial Park, offering the local business community the opportunity to drop in for free, practical, useful business advice.”
