    What are the general cost of using a recruitment agent?

    I wouldn't bother with print advertising, it's over priced and no longer gets enough eyes on it. Better off looking for a suitable online route. Place an advert on People Per Hour for a copywriter or recruiter to write you a good ad and then post an advert on one of the top 5 job boards...

    Small company is hard to find employees

    Why don't you consider hiring an apprentice? You can mould them into what you need whilst they're given training from a good training provider. You could 2-3 in separate disciplines as costs are a little lower. Let me know if you need a recommendation for a training provider

    Twitter Hour Tweet Up Sale?

    Hi Mark, Thanks I'm aware of the ruling, I suppose I would sell the website and give the account away for free. You can transfer Twitter handles as part of a business sale but this wouldn't be applicable as it's not a business I'm selling. So I guess giving it away for free would be fine! Cheers

    Twitter Hour Tweet Up Sale?

    Hi, I run a regional (UK county focussed) 'Twitter Hour' with an associated hash tag that twitter users engage with on Wednesday evenings 7-8pm. It has about 1700 followers and gets regular engagement week-on-week. Users tweet the hash tag, and it is retweeted and favourited leading to...

    Multi Channel Software (eBay, Amazon, & other platforms)

    Google UnderstandingE - free and all the knowledge is there to set it up and run it yourself. If you don't want to, find a developer to help. We were in your position, we tried a third party software provider, they worked well for about 6 months and we outgrew them. We offloaded the cost...

    Kitting out a new shop?

    Keep an eye out for any businesses going into liquidation in the local newspaper, local auctions, or house clearance stores. They're often keen to get rid of their fittings quickly as it's the last thing to go after their stock and shelving companies offer them very little for it, if you can...

    Dropshipping Website Template

    It's definitely possible to pull data from both Amazon and eBay onto your own site, though I agree with fisicx that you're unlikely to find an off the shelf. We have use of a custom extension for Magento that imports amazon data and then allows reposting to our own website and/or eBay. If this...

    Have hit the 'wall'

    emlad123, Everyone's got to start somewhere, it's perfectly possible to start with £250 just bear in mind that your expectation of growth has to be in line with this. It will limit what you can do if this is your total budget for everything. This kind of budget is more suited to dropshipping...

    Courier

    Try Low Cost Parcels based in North Tyneside, I haven't found anyone else who can beat their pricing but Despatch Bay and UK Mail come close. I would try contacting those three, let me know if you need any points of contact.

    Hot Yoga Clothing

    I can put you in touch with a UK distributor of female focussed patterned gym clothing if you like? It would be perfect for yoga but they only stock for the female market. PM me if you would like details, they can supply their clothing in quantity but I don't think they'll be any good for...

    Best web builder for e-commerce

    In the main we moved so as to use multiple store fronts through one admin panel and it allows better integration with multiple sales channels such as eBay and Amazon (Shopify has an app but IMO M2E Pro has more functionality). We also have 80k+ products and I prefer the hierarchal structure of...
