    Closing limited company with debts

    Great. Thanks for the clear answer. I wasnt aware the a personal payment towards liquidation could go towards the assets I wish to keep.

    Closing limited company with debts

    Definitely not something i was planning on doing. I believe I can sell assets to myself as long as they are valued correctly though right? This can be before and/or after liquidation has started?

    Closing limited company with debts

    Thank Chris & Lisa. I think this helps me make a decision and I may be in touch with one/both of you in the future if needed.

    Closing limited company with debts

    I am still trading at the moment, but looking to get a job ASAP. I didnt think i could make the company dormant while still paying bills, or do you mean, leave the company active without trading and pay bills using personal funds, but through the business? I have looked at the Spongebob plan...

    Closing limited company with debts

    Hi, I know there are a million threads here about closing a company but i couldnt find one for my situation (although maybe the answer is the same). I have a limited company, it is making profit (on paper) at the moment, but I havent been paying myself for a little while to try and build up the...

    Would this be worth pursuing

    I had a customer who owes me around £3000 + interest. The invoices were all to a UK limited company. The company is now under different ownership to when the invoices were due. The previous owner did not dispute any invoices but before selling the company went off radar and stopped responding to...

    New company, Same name

    The old company owe me nothing. I have nothing to lose from the old company being liquidated, i was just interested in the legalities of such a thing happening considering a new legal entity taken over but no new contract agreed. If the original contract is now void it could mean either party...

    New company, Same name

    Thanks, that makes sense. It would be nice to know whether the contract was transferred, but not being able to get hold of them makes that difficult

    Which E-commerce solution for a print shop?

    No i mean if someone wants a banner 1m x 2m they can type 1 in the width text box and 2 in the height text box and it will work out and show the price based on a price per meter which is set in the admin panel

    Anti Amazon

    That is true. I already offer a cheaper, non branded alternative for many items and explain how i differ, some i convert, some i dont. These non branded items have similar on Amazon at cheaper prices but i dont often get comments about them, only the branded items. If i can find other ways to...

    Anti Amazon

    Yes. More often than i would have thought. Some people are very passionate about price and on occasion have even got quite angry towards me about it. This is still a minority though. One the other hand, there is one high street chain that often sends their customers down to us because we are...

    Anti Amazon

    My point about pricing is focusing on customer that shop on price and get annoyed at me/other small business and accuse them of ripping them off, when all they are trying to do is make a living. I understand it from the customer point of view, 2 products exactly the same, Amazon at £10, big name...
