£35 million to provide a great deal of useful information on starting and running a business, and how to navigate the required government bureaucracy? Well, it's not cheap, but things that are worth having rarely are.
Of course, we could make things simpler so such an explanation is not required and everyone could just read the statutes, but given the world we live in, it's not so expensive for the useful information it contains. If I drill-down randomly, I get to "Taxes, returns & payroll > PAYE for employers > PAYE if your business closes or changes > If you no longer employ anyone and don't plan to do so again." That's pretty specific and useful. There are 10-20 categories per level, and 4 levels, and >100 words per article, giving a total of at least one million words of well categorised, useful business advice and information.
£35 a word all-in? Sure, it sounds pricey. Poor value for money? Then you have to make an argument that the website doesn't provide that much value.
