    Import Duty and VAT - A little too high?

    I understand that some suppliers deliberately lower their invoice, however this doesn't seem to have been the case with me in the past. When I've calculated previous VAT charges, it has indeed been around 20% of the value of my items. So the past VAT charges appear to be more or less accurate...

    Looking for a technical co-founder. Need advice.

    Yes and that's totally understandable to be honest. I have received a small amount of funding through The Prince's Trust, a program run by Accenture and BT Business. Most of the tech accelerator programs are looking for teams and want to see a minimum of 2 people and that's a huge issue for me...

    Venture Giant

    I've used venture giant in the past. I believe it cost me £100 or so to communicate with investors. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. I think there are far better alternative routes to finding investors. Adam

    I'm a start-up running an online company too, so I can relate to you. It may sound a little cliche, but before getting a team of developers on board, it is absolutely essential that you perpetually ask yourself whether this is something you really need at this moment in time. It will be...
