    Government Consultation on Online Marketplaces

    Basically the way I understand it is say I sell an item for £3.99 which is fulfilled by Amazon….currently, Amazon fees and fulfilment including vat costs £2.64 and we receive £1.35. We would normally put the vat to one side, which after accounting for the reclaimed vat on Amazon fees would be...

    Government Consultation on Online Marketplaces

    I’ve just been reading on the government website about the consultation that’s ongoing into forcing online marketplaces to account for the vat on sales instead of the businesses making those sales. How do you all think this will play out? We sell quite a bit on Amazon and a lot of our sales...

    Recommend a CT600 Submission Service?

    I had planned on using 'Easy Digital Filing' to submit my CT600 after our accountant left us in the lurch but having had a quick look on Google, it seems there's now a number of services that offer to submit the CT600 for really good prices. Has anyone used any specific service and if so, would...

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

    @Ryan Smith a newly registered trademark and Ltd company don’t protect you from an infringement claim by an already established trademarked brand. I have no affiliation to totally branded but I am just warning of the potential pitfalls. I would hate to spend my time and efforts building a brand...

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

    If, as I suspect you are somewhat affiliated with ‘Total Branded’, I would be very careful about trying to run a business with a name so close to a registered trademark in the same field. The guy that owns Totally Branded isn’t likely to mess about with this.

    Customer paying via finance company - potential issues

    Thanks, I just don’t want to caught by the finance company rewinding the deal months down the line because the customer has changed their mind (and therefore made up some fictitious issue). Even more so because they say I need to invoice the finance company rather than the customer actually...

    Customer paying via finance company - potential issues

    I am selling one of my machines and to cut a long story short, the buyer has opted to buy through a finance company (not related to myself, I have no relationship with any finance provider). Is there anything I should be wary of? I’ve heard of car buyers being able to reject cars after years...

    Has anyone successfully transferred an Amazon Seller account from one ltd to a new ltd?

    As per the title really... thinking of closing down my ltd company and either moving forward as a Sole Trader or as a new Ltd (depending on the advice I get from my accountant). Reason being, our business is changing significantly and I'll need to run both side by side to start with while I...

    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...
