MTD best free software.

hi,
ive a small one man business which i have been running for over 30 years.
i have been using quickbooks 2002 premier , which has done everything i have needed up to now.
now it look like i need to transfer everything onto a MTD compliant software program.
As my business nearly went down the pan over the last 2 years with covid i am in no position to be paying a monthly charge to an accounts software company & would like to know if anyone out there have any recomendations of which free MTD software package would suit me as i am a reseller of dairy farm supplies & chemicals. So would preferably like to have some form of stock control if available.

many thanks & thank you HMRC for making my job even harder than it already is...............

    Check with your business's bank if they have any free software or discounts - NatWest gives free access to FreeAgent (I don't think it has stock control though) and there's a chance others do as well.

    As above, I've signed up to use FreeAgent via my Natwest account, seems pretty straightforward to use but having problems at the moment trying to sign up to MTD on the gov.uk site.
