Castle has been having Invisalign treatment. She’s not an ideal candidate because her jaw relationship isn’t ideal for Invisalign. Like most projects she’s probably given up half way through. If she is wearing the appliances full time, as advised, it might be why her mouth looks odd and possible her speech may be affected.

Nurse literally can’t wait for the weekend

why?

WilkinsonM · 06/10/2023 09:22

Sacked is back selling waist trainers apparently
there is a picture of one on her insta and it's the same as one I bought from eBay for £6.99 in a panic when I was trying to find something comfortable that wasn't Spanx to wear under my wedding dress. Drop shipped overpriced shite from china much?

YouOKHun · 06/10/2023 09:53

Castle Global’s latest accounts have been published at CH if anyone is interested.

fromdownwest · 06/10/2023 10:13

Based on her latest embarassment of a 'live' I am amazed she even knows what an account is.

A rambling of questions directed at an actual accounant.
For an 8 figure business builder to have such a terrible grasp of how to run a profitable business is embarassing.

Her line of questioning is like a 7 year olds. She is an embarassment to women in business.

YouOKHun · 06/10/2023 10:37

@fromdownwest she probably doesn’t know what an account is as that is the boring stuff for the 9-5 drones to handle while the 6/7/8 figure income entrepreneurs get on with being successful.

I wouldn’t mind being a fly on the wall of that accountancy firm they all use, not that I’d be a particularly useful spy as I am no accountant. What do accountants think when they’ve got quite a few non viable businesses all called Forever Something or Other Ltd on their books, with large loans rolling from year to year? I’m pretty sure the accountancy firm we (DH and I) use would be twitchy with us if we were doing what Yawn is doing for instance.

Spongebobette · 06/10/2023 10:39

Can you sum up? I can never made head nor tail of accounts!

Sugarplum48 · 06/10/2023 11:33

Yawn and her lacky accounts are due very soon l think. I'm very interested to see how successful she's been this year!! Should something not also be in place for her to stop advertising low alcohol drinks to people with real life alcohol issue's??

Howsimplywonderful · 06/10/2023 16:09

Nothing much is happening in castles account
Id guess zero income and about 10k of costs (accounting etc)

Her FL owes a subsidiary 105k (which I’m guessing is the now defunct planner business)

She will have to write off that creditor which will then be treated as income and she will have to pay tax (she has left cash in the bank

It looks dormant really so she may wind it up

She must not be using a company for her air bnb rent. I hope she’s putting money in the bank for her tax bill

YouOKHun · 06/10/2023 16:39

I’m sure there must be some interesting cross referencing to do between Castle’s businesses and the business belonging to her parents. I’m not the person to do it but I can’t help thinking Castle Senior Ltd is a dwindling bail out fund for Castle and it doesn’t look quite the picture of health it did.

PieonaBarm · 06/10/2023 17:02

Bruv also appears to have moved into a flat in Cardiff, whose bank rolling that?

Jantlet · 06/10/2023 18:01

My area of expertise revolves around the tax implications and procedures for people setting up new businesses. For this reason I’ve just steeled myself to watch most of Castle’s live on this topic with the accountant who can hardly get a word in edgeways.

Sorry folks, but I couldn’t make it to the end, I tried my best, it’s excruciating.

The whole thing is confusing and misleading. Castle pushing the narrative that you can set off your weekly food shop against tax because you’ve bought a toilet roll for a client to use in your home for instance. She repeatedly pushes an example of someone on £2k/month being able to have self employment income of £1k free of tax, and claim £312 wfh. That £1k is Trading Income Allowance and is per annum, not monthly. The £312 is also an annual allowance, but it is a claim in terms of tax, so £312 at your highest rate (likely 20%), just £62.40.

So much is not mentioned, and it would have been easy enough to simply put together the basics on a sheet of A4. But then that would be useful information and maybe give a few bots food for thought. The last thing Castle wants is her bots thinking.

No one would be any the wiser after this live than before it, it was utterly useless.

That accountant, if that’s what she is, should be bloody ashamed of herself. Castle of course is beyond shame. A dangerous nasty piece of work.

Thanks @Jantlet for taking one for the team. What a horrible, scammy cow she is. I look forward to her comeuppance.

The arrogance is astounding - to think she feels confident to advise people on tax

Howsimplywonderful · 06/10/2023 20:00

Castles amazon guru’s accounts are late. Perhaps the accountant can give some advice 🤣

YouOKHun · 06/10/2023 20:12

@Howsimplywonderful who is Castle’s Amazon guru?

Howsimplywonderful · 06/10/2023 20:16

She held the self publishing writing thing that castle
went to

It’s incredible how ignorant she is regarding tax. Maybe her content should be brought to the attention of RC. Imagine the chaos if HMRC were to target FL businesses. They frequently do target specific business types in order to wring out what they can. Since FL pay direct into bank accounts and most of the big bots do not do direct selling, therefore no cash that you can hide, they could have a field day.

Angrymum22 · 06/10/2023 20:54

HMRC not RC

fromdownwest · 06/10/2023 21:35

That account charges £18 a month! How on earth is she making a profit?

Castle rambles on about writing off costs and as a pp says, seems fascinated with writing off toilet rolls!

The accountant doesn’t correct her inaccuracies.

Its an embarrassment for a woman proclaiming to have run multiple 7 figure businesses.

Accountant - if you are reading this, run. You’ll get no business from Castle, and will spend a long time
answering free questions from her minions.

Angrymum22 · 06/10/2023 22:42

Laughing at the toilet roll deduction. My ex boss was investigated and HMRC questioned the amount he was claiming for newspapers and magazines, dental practice with a waiting room, HMRC disallowed it based on the amount he was paying monthly. They went back twenty years and he had a bill of nearly 20k to pay.
Most people think they can only go back 7 years but that is just the initial investigation. If they find an anomaly they can go back as far as they deem necessary.
When you are self employed it really does pay to stick to the rules and find a good accountant. One that is not famous for clients who have ended up in trouble.

She says she's had a hectic week. What with the child's harvest festival, taking the car to the mechanic.... the err... food shopping...oh she had a coffee with someone!

Mad mad week!

Sounds exhausting! I've had to lie down after just hearing all about it.

And none of the promotional content is interesting.

It makes me wonder how long her account will keep this level of engagement, and as for the "partnering" nonsense, if anything would put me off NoughtyAF products it's them partnering with someone who offers questionable advice to vulnerable people.
