    Richard Branson

    How can you possibly stick Theo on the same level as Branson? Completely different kettle of fish. I don't want to appear to knock Theo - he has achieved well in retail but its nowhere near the level of depth of Branson. Its not all as Branson is portrayed. he might be dyslexic and not...

    How much does a website or app like Bizzby cost to build?

    You are looking at around £1000 for time, plus margin. I would expect it to cost them £15-16k. bizzby is a very small company - do you have something that they haven't? Otherwise I would wait to see how they progress, so much competition now in looking for tradespeople via app and online.

    New web designers, get your own site sorted first...

    @Ashley_Price Not sure why you are getting so worked up by Ashley, I get hundreds of emails a week both via contact forms on the website and whois email address talking about web design, buying the domain name and everything in between. My suspicions is its probably not some beginner...

    Is it worth buying and selling domain names to generate a second income?

    I personally think the domain-rush back-in-the-day was part myth. Some of the best domains were either unavailable, impossible to register (like 2-3 character domains) or sold for big sums instead of the registration fee. But there were people registering domain names hoping they will become...

    Every software developer's dream ...

    @Q2Do I had tried last year to recruit a commission only self-employed sales team of 4-5 people and failed. I couldn't get anyone local, as I wanted them all based in an additional room in a serviced office block, whilst doing work in the field and at home where applicable. It might be something...

    Negotiating our first lease

    Have you heard back? How did you get on? Don't let your heart rule your head. You should always be willing to negotiate a better deal.

    Has UKbusinessForums Sold my details to Fraudsters ?

    Its a good tip - one I use myself, however, people want to generate trust with people they communicate with online and I noticed it can backfire when things don't match up - especially on business orientated forums and websites! People seem to want to undertake due diligence on investing time...

    .co.uk unless its a generic word, unlikely that you have only just registered it.

    RIP bitcoin

    Is this a game changer? Bitcoin has a serious flaw, people are losing money both from it being stolen and the value dropping through the floor... It fluctuates much more than any real world currency. Too risky for bitcoin to become mainstream? Do you accept bitcoins? Do you own and pay with...

    Little wonder businesses fold!

    Well, I think HSBC are incentivised in their corporate culture, the other high street banks (the others you mentioned and RBS) don't really care. The RBS/natwest banks are amongst the worst. Natwest especially. I am not sure how well (or bad) they are doing but I sense that someone at HQ is...

    Has UKbusinessForums Sold my details to Fraudsters ?

    Some questions... 1) have you disclosed your email on here publicly? 2) do you have a domain name of your own or use gmail, hotmail etc.? 3) are you using info@ sales@ support@ webmaster@, or got a catch all email address set up?
