    Finding out where (exactly) a product is made and how to source suppliers.

    Are there any tools out there that help you to find out where a product is made? How do you find out where to source your products?

    Calling Old Customers

    Right. The main point of this post is to garner opinions, but before I posted, I had in mind the fact that it was me who let them go for whatever personal reason it was - it doesn't matter. Health/Plans/Financial...etc. I sent a text to them all to let them know of what I was planning to do. I...

    Calling Old Customers

    Hi All, Do you think it's wrong for a self-employed person to call old customers to gain their business back if it was the self-employed individual that let them go 1-2 years before?

    Business, Self-Employment or University?

    Thanks for the support and kind words all. I'm just thinking back to my childhood and trying to remember something I did regularly, at least once or twice a year that might be sentimental to me. Being 27, I still believe there's plenty of time to make a go of life and to take the time to work...

    Business, Self-Employment or University?

    Just an update: I haven't dropped the idea of skipping university, but going to learn more skills, especially where there might be a shortage in my area. I really enjoyed PC repair before, though it was a minum wage job. I want to do something meaningful for people, so I've considered getting...

    Business, Self-Employment or University?

    Thank you. Thanks for the suggestions too. Yeah, I do feel like I'm late to the party in some areas, and I like to get "revenge" by making up for lost time.

    Business, Self-Employment or University?

    Well it was a combination of things really. I went to one of the worst-performing schools in the county (still is one of the worst-performing). On top of that, I was really rather lazy at school. I didn't even try to listen, nor did I do any revision, plus I was brought up in a religious...

    Business, Self-Employment or University?

    If it was something worth doing for a meaningful career, it would be Computer Science as the method of thinking, plus technology interests me. The personal interest mentioned hasn't really got anything to do with business - it's a combination of philosophy and religion - I'm in the process of...

    Business, Self-Employment or University?

    I thought about this, but I have two concerns. The first is the fact that there are at least three IT recycling companies nearby within a 20 mile radius (one of them is in the same town). The other concern I have is the fact that I wouldn't know what to charge, though that may be something I can...

    Business, Self-Employment or University?

    Hi All, I'm looking at either starting a "proper" business, getting into self-employment (again), going to university or a mixture of all of these, but first, a bit about me. Some Context I'm in my mid-late twenties, living with a widowed parent and my older (30s) brother who works as a...

    Hello All

    Hello everyone! I've just signed up to UKBF for several reasons: 1) I really want to help others, be that in business (with requesting the service/product of a business) or personally, in return for business related help, and maybe personal help at times. 2) I want to get and give assistance...
