Hi All,
Thanks for all your advise over the last couple of months. I have decided to press on and work hard to get myself out of trouble. Today my website is being update to be able to receive international orders so if you know of a child with an allergy or medical condition that requires a...
Hi all, I hope you had a great New Year!! My big question today is
"Should I quit or keep fighting??"
I just don't know what to do, I can see the potential in my business but I can't get my debts paid to continue. I have so much happening in the next couple of months but how do I get from...
Its so easy to spend money when you are excited about the business and try to go too big too soon or when other PR type companies help to spend more money than you have. Big mistake made - slowly getting out of debt.
I started my business in 2008 and was a little silly and spent too much money. Now I am trying to keep afloat and pay off a couple of bills so I can start fresh in 2009. Its my first business and I have learnt the hard way about spending money, I just have to work really hard, really fast to...
I am working really hard to make sure my business is not one of those to go Bust. I made some silly choices when setting up my business in 2008 but I am working to keep it going. I think this is going to be my motto for 2009
Spend NOT where you MAY save
Save NOT where you MUST spend. (thanks TEJ)
Hi all, I just thought I would give you an update on my current situation. I contacted a number of "business investers" here in NZ through Citizens advise but a couple of them advised me that I was not in as much trouble as I thought and told me to do a sale and extra promotion to trade my way...
Thanks for all your suggestions/ideas. Its good to know I am not the only person who has made mistakes. I am just so angry with myself. Its funny (well not really that funny) I have spent the last few weeks trying to sort out my problem and a lot of the companies that offer to help just want me...
The company was only registered in May 08 and I have not had financial statements prepared. I have worked out that even without making any sales (if the business does not work) I have a spare $150.00 - 200.00 after paying mortgage, bills and living expenses. My main trouble is that I did not...
I do have money from sales coming in and we have my husbands income. I have money invested in product in the storeroom but that does not pay the bills until I sell it!
Hi JustOneUK
It is really hard at the moment. When we brought our house we were a 2 income family and then our son got sick. I had to leave my job to be at home with him so we are now a 1 income family so the bank cant give us a loan against our house because our income is not high enough.
I...
I have learnt the hard way that people (or some people) in business are nasty nasty people and take advantage of unwise people like me!!!
It is good to hear that I am not the only person who has been in trouble financially because of money problems.
I am mainly stressed because if I dont pay...
Hi again
Thanks Txtlocal, I didnt even know places like that existed, Ive just found an angel investments place in NZ.
Yes Zeno, I do realise that this is a UK based forum but I couldn't find anything similar in NZ and still thought I could get some good advise here.
The PR company did a...
Hi there, my business is in New Zealand. The money is partly owed to the PR company and partly to printing companies as well as some to the bank (They gave me a tempory overdraft that I had to pay back by the 20.11.08).
The PR company said I needed a rebranding exercise so I had to get photos...
