    How far do you push yourself in business?

    In my opinion, you can only listen to yourself. There is a lot of pressure that running a 'lifestyle business,' e.g. just paying your way with maybe a bit extra, is a failure, is what many online business influencers say. Working in a co-working space (which also has office space) in the last...

    Starting an LTD from being Sole Trader & Directors Loan

    Well, thanks for all your help so far, it is much appreciated - especially being new to all this. I have been told quite a few different things regarding the Directors Loan account. So if I was to put in let's say for example 2k of my personal funds into the business. Would I need to write a...

    Starting an LTD from being Sole Trader & Directors Loan

    Mainly due to larger clients, who sometimes won't use us due to just being sole trading. It just looks unprofessional. Also wanting to get the liability off me. I have invested quite a bit of the pot of cash I had into marketing for business, ready for 2020. I feel we are now ready as I have...

    Starting an LTD from being Sole Trader & Directors Loan

    I was also thinking of maybe keeping my expenses on my personal account for just a month and having my income go into the new business bank account and switch all the suppliers over once my first lot of payments are in from my customers. My customers mostly pay me monthly on direct debits set up...

    Starting an LTD from being Sole Trader & Directors Loan

    Small Claims Court

    Just a quick question - When taking a client to the small claims court for outstanding invoices. I don't really want my home address on the papers for the safety of my family (as you know people get nasty). Are you allowed to use a virtual address?

    Can I cancel a nightmare customers contract with us?

    They are stating there solicitor will be in contact with me soon? They have stated I said in an email the £135 didn't have to be paid because I said in an email it didn't. If they found this email, would they have a leg to stand on? They also swore at me in an email.

    I was wrong - he did sign the contract but did not pay the £135 upfront which was stated in the contract. So I terminated the contract due to the upfront payment not being made. Advice for anyone... ALWAYS USE CONTRACTS!!!

    Could they Sue me for wasting their time for anything like that? How would the courts see this if they threats did turn into reality?

    Sorry, my post title is slightly misleading with the word 'contract' as they didn't sign one.
