    Website Review Please

    "Except that on a mobile, the menu vanishes and some of the content (e.g. stag and hen parties) go off-screen." Menu is a drop down in mobile and stag and hen etc is there just need to keep scrolling down. It is designed with critical mobile products/service at the top. Example we get mobile...

    Frustrated...what do I do?

    You have to do something you are interested in otherwise something that is already hard will become much harder. Warning Big Assumption Coming ;) It sounds like you have technical IT skills but maybe not creative or sales/marketing skills If this is so I would go on a search to find the group...

    Trying to agree the price for a Business with the Owner

    You will be surprised what £60k can buy if you are patient and have a eye for a deal;) . Will not buy a great profit making company on day on, but can buy the foundations save a huge amount of time and in a short period have a great profit making company.

    Trying to agree the price for a Business with the Owner

    Turnover is interesting but nothing more, Gross profit is very interesting but I always value on net profit. You can have 7 figure gross profit and still tiny net profit. Multiple of net profit with allowance for assets is in most cases a fair way to value. What multiple to use is where it gets...

    Should I move from PPC to SEO?

    Sorry but that is rubbish. Anyone who spends enough time on this forum reading what the seo's say can make a sensible decision on which ones know what they are talking about and which do not and this is just one forum. Follow that up by speaking to their past clients, not the ones they feed you...

    Should I move from PPC to SEO?

    In my case I only use ppc for research then I seo the findings if they are positive. The reality is even if you have seo nailed you should still be using ppc for those areas your seo is not covering. That said even though I know this I do not as it is just to big a job to cover all areas and not...

    Trying to agree the price for a Business with the Owner

    Around 80% of businesses are unsold after 24 months on the market. Virtually everything that is selling has a serious discount to asking price or owner finance or both. The business has a history of loss making Is the £17k of assets really assets with a true value of that. I often see assets...

    Should I move from PPC to SEO?

    Do not do anything until you have spent time doing research and getting a basic understanding of SEO and what it can do for your business. Then watch and listen to those who sell the service, make a short list based on your judgement and recommendations and then and only then speak to that...

    Can anyone explain the VAT threshold to me and how it's fair?

    When I was in B2B it never seemed such an issue as every supplier and every customer was VAT registered. Only a very few of my suppliers less than 10% are VAT registered over 80% of my customers are consumers so the % I pay to the VAT man each qtr is always higher than when I was in B2B by a...

    Can anyone explain the VAT threshold to me and how it's fair?

    Nail on head. If you are going to grow to a larger business VAT is actually free cash flow for your business until you have to pay it each quarter. However, that free cashflow comes with book keeping and accountant costs. If you are B2C you end up writing big amounts to HMRC. I only claim back...

    Getting Finance?

    I would love to see the terms and conditions on the service you sold for the customers to part with £400k that will be sitting in a escrow account for an unlimited amount of time? With little prospect of delivery of service by the sound of it. Even if you do get finance, which I really doubt...

    Should I move from PPC to SEO?

    No discussion really Option 1 keep paying ppc for ever at £6k per year Option 2 invest in SEO and reduce your annual cost and more than likely increase the returns. From a business perspective option 2 wins every time Best results is obviously a combination of both, and although I am a...
