Britain’s ‘top entrepreneur’ Victoria Beckham faces a fine

When Victoria Beckham was crowned Britain’s top entrepreneur by Management Today there were sniggers from an unkind few, while others balked at her estimated worth of £210 million.

Mr S can’t dispute the figures that earned her the title, but it is probably time the former Spice Girl brushed up on her bookkeeping skills if she wants to be known for her business prowess.

Steerpike hears that Posh Spice is facing a fine from Companies House for failing to file her annual accounts on time. The accounts for Victoria Beckham Limited were due at the end of September, and she is now so late that the fee has reached £375. What’s more, until she files them the company is technically in the red with a negative net worth of £-1, 478, 542.

While the fashion designer shouldn’t struggle to find the money from her overall multi-million pound fortune, it comes at an awkward time given the recent praise.
