How 49p could bag you a Lytham St Annes beach hut for the whole summer
If you've been to Lytham St Annes you will have seen the row of iconic beach huts on the sea front. Since arriving in 2012 the huts have welcomed more than half a million visitors, who love having a base for their day trip to the much-loved seaside town. Equipped with electricity and a fitted kitchen, along with a table and chairs, they've become a huge hit with families and groups looking to hire them out for a get together or celebration.

And now the owner of the huts is giving one lucky person the chance to win one of the huts for the entire summer. With just a 49p entry fee, the winner of the competition shared on the Beach Competitions website here, will have exclusive use of a hut from July 1 to September 1, 2025. Join our Family WhatsApp group HERE All you have to do is answer a simple question and submit your entry, costing 49 pence per ticket. It comes after beach hut owner Stuart Robertson decided to launch the competitions website to help families make memories together. Others running on the site include the chance to win a four-night break in the nearby St Annes Beach Apartments, which they also own. "It started with small prizes like a beach hut with champagne afternoon tea, an apartment getaway with spending money, that kind of thing," said Stuart. "But now we're ramping things up and launching our biggest giveaway yet - a beach hut for summer 2025. "The winner gets exclusive use of their very own hut from July 1 to September 1. That's two whole months to make it theirs - picnics, seaside days, afternoon teas, you name it. It's something people ask me about constantly, booking a hut for the whole summer, or even owning one, so I'm buzzing to finally be able to say 'yes'." He added: "I know there are a lot of competition sites out there now, but this one's really rooted in our story. The idea is to give people more of what they love about the beach huts - and create some once-in-a-lifetime seaside memories along the way." Deadline for entries is 6.45pm on Friday, May 2, but the company reserves the right to extend it depending on the number of tickets sold. You can book one beach hut for the day for groups of up to six people from £135. For more details on the beach huts, visit the website here.

ShareBuilder 401k Offers Free 401(k) Setup for Small Businesses through May 23rd
Businesses can provide affordable retirement benefits and lower their personal taxes too SEATTLE, May 01, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ShareBuilder 401k is waiving setup charges of up to $750 through May 23rd, making it easier for small businesses to provide retirement benefits to their employees while creating a tax benefit. According to a recent ShareBuilder 401k survey, only 24% of small businesses offer retirement plans to their employees, with many unaware they can offer affordable 401(k) benefits or that employer match costs are optional but can be mostly offset with tax credits and tax deductions. "ShareBuilder 401k wants to make it easy and affordable for any size businesses to offer retirement plans to their employees including the self-employed," said Stuart Robertson, President and CEO of ShareBuilder 401k. "With our free setup offer, low-expense solutions, and tax credits from the Secure Act 2.0, small businesses can start a no to low-cost 401(k) and help their employees, and themselves build for a secure retirement while lowering personal taxes, too." Passed in late 2022, Secure Act 2.0 eliminates most cost barriers for small businesses with employees. Businesses with employees who are starting their first 401(k) can qualify for tax credits which can offset ongoing administrative costs and applicable employer matching contributions too. For companies with 1-50 employees, the tax credits for employer admin costs are dollar for dollar up to $5,000 for each of the first three years of starting a 401(k). Most small businesses with employees will spend much less to offer a plan and can expect to spend $1,000 to $2,000 annually. Other tax credits and deductions help cover matching contributions an employer may choose to provide. Note that while the self-employed starting a Solo 401(k) are not eligible for these tax credits, any setup or ongoing support costs are generally tax deductible for their business. Small business owners and employees can also benefit with either pre-tax 401(k) contributions to lower this year's taxes (monies will be taxed upon withdrawal in retirement) and/or using the Roth 401(k) feature to contribute after-tax and benefit from tax-free withdrawals in retirement. Unlike a Roth IRA, there is no income limit to contribute to a Roth 401(k).
