    What are the basic overheads that need to be covered in retail?

    That's really good then, the promotion is extremely good, especially as you can return games for credit too! Is there a limit on the amount of time you can claim VAT on? What I didn't understand is, if you find a receipt for a product (or get one from someone for example) that you're also...

    What are the basic overheads that need to be covered in retail?

    Ahh, I getcha now. Yeah, I got rid of a lot of rubbish at GAME with that one. :) I was thinking about certain promotions, as Blockbuster take fairly new games in and give you any new game for £9.99, which is a decent deal when you find stuff like Flatout for £15 and add a tenner (of credit!)...

    What is considered a "normal" markup?

    On beans it's really not worth it though, I do understand what you mean but for beans, there's no point as people will pick them up regardless.

    What are the basic overheads that need to be covered in retail?

    Usually where I've been it's literally keeping them filed in a box/folder in chronological order. What about the market? Dumping what crap? Sorry, I don't understand that part. Yeah, I'll speak to an accountant about this. I don't have another income, or one at all right now.

    What are the basic overheads that need to be covered in retail?

    Then you are exactly who I need to be speaking to. Balance sheet - what does that mean? Self explanatory I imagine but just to make sure.. What till system did you go for? What is the second hand margin scheme? When buying in products, in the stores I've worked it it's just name, address...

    What are the basic overheads that need to be covered in retail?

    Maintanence I guess will be cleaning? If so, the part-time lackies can do that, if not me. :p Looking in to Corporation Tax, what's the best way to go if it's one shop, me as the manager and a few employees, sole trader, limited company? I'll try and get some recommendations on an...

    What is considered a "normal" markup?

    If people are coming in to buy food, however, you may find that selling at a lower price just means only slightly more people will be buying them, and that for the price it's selling at it simply isn't worth dropping the price compared to the effort it takes to get it into the store.

    What are the basic overheads that need to be covered in retail?

    I'm looking at setting up a store selling videogames, consoles, films, as well as a few computers for internet cafe-type shenanigans. But, trying to find a definitive list anywhere about what needs to be covered before going to market is pretty hard. Finding a place seems to be the last of...

    New car - most efficient way of purchasing

    So if I bought a car for business commuting, I don't claim on the VAT that's paid on the car, just the mileage? If so, how do I do that? Just trying to get my head around it!

    Need help and advice please

    I've not had the chance to read the rest of the posts but put some cheaper products on the homepage, ones that people will see instantly, rather than a big chunk of text that people will turn off when they see it.
