    Micro company accounts / WebFiling

    It may be a browser thing ( if their system isn't at fault) - you could try using a different browser or incognito/private browser window for the web page.

    Google Workspace versus Microsoft 365?

    I'd say it depends on your type of business and how many staff you have. If you're looking for company email management and office type software they both have it. In general I'd say my business customers with staff tend to go for O365. Especially if they are used to using MS office products...

    Staff Badges with Names & Pronouns - A good Idea?

    I don't have any issue with the practice of people saying what pronouns they prefer, in any business. I see it as a company showing their support for people who may want to be seen as non binary etc. It costs nothing for a person to show their preferred pronouns, it shows inclusivity. As a...

    How to get customers?

    I've looked at your site and menu - maybe you could consider targeting clientele like teens, non-alcohol drinkers ( more likely to go for dessert places as a place to hang out), work events, hen parties - make more of why they should consider your place over others. Or team up with another local...

    Earning enough to take on an employee

    My partner got a dog recently so I'm out in the local parks a couple of times a day. Just being away from the desk, has really helped me de-stress. Having a dog means I have random. neutral conversations with people and being outdoors helps me be present in the moment instead of too much in my...

    OneDrive - SharePoint

    If you use Sharepoint under his company tenant, it remains until they stop using O365 - personal Onedrive has the general 30 grace period before getting deleted, but Sharepoint is part of their subscription so it carries on. Just ensure that they have correct permissions to administer it if you...

    Earning enough to take on an employee

    Hi all, I'm a sole trader and have a successful enough business to earn a living but I'm wanting to grow enough to hire staff instead of using freelancers. This is probably a typical small business issue but I'm stuck between taking on new work ( which would bring in more income) and having...

    Doggy DayCare - Research for start up

    My partner has started a dog-walking with occasional daycare business. Her basic starting point was getting insurance and a dog first aid certificate to show trustworthiness. As it's mainly walking with some day care for only up to 2 dogs, she hasn't needed any more at this point, all of her...
