Our editorial approach
This site covers financial stability, wellbeing and significant business decisions. That requires clear standards about what we publish and how we correct it.
Hayley Duster — writer and solo business owner
Sourcing
Guidance references reliable sources, including:
- Government and regulator guidance
- Professional bodies and industry regulators
- Academic research and recognised charities
- Established business support organisations
Expert review
Where a guide has been reviewed by an appropriately qualified professional, we publish the reviewer’s name, role and review date in that guide’s Sources and review section. Topics that need specialist advice—such as tax, law, insurance, cybersecurity and mental wellbeing—remain general educational information unless that page clearly identifies the specific review and evidence behind it.
Fact-checking
When a guide relies on figures, legal thresholds or regulatory requirements, we record the primary source and the exact editorial date in that guide’s Sources and review section. Material corrections are noted there rather than silently replacing the prior wording.
Corrections
If something here is wrong, tell us via the contact page. Material corrections are made promptly and noted on the page rather than quietly edited out.
Who writes this site
Articles and guides are written by Hayley Duster, a writer who has run a one-person business for over a decade — you can read more about her background here. She is not an accountant, solicitor, financial adviser or health professional. The site distinguishes documented sources and attributable testimonials from examples, patterns and general guidance.
Affiliate disclosure
Some recommended tools may earn a commission. Recommendations are never sold, and any commercial relationship is disclosed on the page where it appears. Sponsored research or partner content is labelled as such.
What we will not do
- Diagnose a reader or suggest they definitely have a health condition
- Offer advice about medication, or discourage professional care
- Present business guidance as a substitute for treatment
- Promise that a template, course or membership will cure anxiety or burnout
- Use fear-based marketing or encourage work through a serious health crisis
