    Call answering service recommendations

    What I meant was that the ‘sales/spam’ calls weren’t taken out of the inclusive calls that were in whichever package we were on.

    Call answering service recommendations

    We already use Voipfone for our phone system so that would be an obvious choice, I just want to hear peoples opinions of systems they've used first of all. That said, with Voipfone PA, do we get charged for sales/spam calls that come through? When I used call answering in the past, if the call...

    Call answering service recommendations

    Wasn’t really sure where to post this but I am looking at the possibility of using a call answering service to field calls from genuine customers vs sales calls that I’m not interested in. Does anyone have any recommendations or experience of services that are genuinely good? I have used...

    Printing company changing lanes - How do I get local B2B orders?

    The problem with getting orders for mugs specifically, is that Chinese manufactures have made it so cheap for stay at home mums/dads to buy the equipment to print a mug. You can get the printer, the mug press, mugs, ink and sublimation paper all for less than £500 and start selling on Etsy, etc...

    The current state of the sublimation printing industry in the UK

    Your dtf products can’t be any worse than Signzworld’s sublimation mugs in all fairness. However, to answer your question, DTF is incredibly saturated and very competitive already so you need to be able to offer something that’s keeps you unique compared to others. I personally don’t think...

    can’t see how that answers the op’s question unless I missed something?

    Business Rates Revaluation

    So, what wasn’t mentioned in today’s budget announcement is that the new business rates valuations have also been released today. Our rateable value will increase by £6.5k in April meaning a potential business rates increase of £3,250 (not allowing for any transitional relief or SBB relief)...

    Does a local name affect sales potential?

    We are looking to change the company name anyway to be honest - current name has our town in it but the name in general attracts customers that don't come with the type of jobs we want, so want to make our name a bit more specific to the jobs we want to attract. This has led to me questioning...

    Business Name Change - Banks & Companies House

    We've done it (and about to do it again actually with the same company) and it's quite straightforward. You can apply online to Companies House for the name change, it's usually accepted within minutes and then you get a 'Certificate Of Incorporation On Change Of Name'. Once you have this, you...

    IPO Trademark and Amazon Brand Registry

    Genuine question...is this something relatively new? I ask because whenever we've registered trademarks we've had to wait for the trademark to be approved before Amazon would allow us to register it under Brand Registry.

    IPO Trademark and Amazon Brand Registry

    Reading the brand registry guidance, Amazon actually should accept a 'Design Mark', though my experience is that they tend to not accept them so you could try to push Amazon to accepting the trademark once you have it. That said, you still have far more protection registering the brand name as...

    Registering a tradmark to sell on Amazon... And other Q's

    Contrary to what has been said above, you can actually get approval from Amazon to allow you to list a brand without brand registry, you just have to apply for approval through Seller Support. Essentially, you go to Amazon and start to list the product. When you enter the brand name and click...

    IPO Trademark and Amazon Brand Registry

    You need a word mark for brand registry on Amazon. They won't accept a figurative trademark for brand registry. Don't bother trying to trademark your actual logo, just the name itself.

    Does a local name affect sales potential?

    Interested to hear what you all think about this...does having a business name with your town/village have an impact on your sales further afield? For example, if you were Liverpool Wines, do you think that might make some think twice about ordering if they are in Bristol more than if you were...

    Is it best to move premises when a ltd co becomes insolvent?

    Good question - his other company was only started a couple of years ago, after he ditched the accountant that dropped him in it so to speak, so as far as I know, everything with that company has been done properly and is overseen by a decent accountant.
