    Zero Rating VAT on Exports.

    I am looking to start exporting goods and have interest from Customers outside the EU. I have been reading that if I am to offer the goods Ex-Works and have the buyer arrange collection, shipping, and customs, I will need to obtain proof of export from him if I want to be able to charge Zero...

    Has the Great Reset begun?

    Judging by the term 'Great Reset' I hope it doesn't mean literally resetting everything such as seizing everyone's assets and belongings and wiping out all debt. Everyone starts back from square one with no head starts. Just like starting a new game of Monopoly instead of joining in the game...

    Has the Great Reset begun?

    Makes you wonder why all these governments are continuing to print and spend billions like there is no tomorrow when it is more than obvious that it is unsustainable and causing issues. Could they possibly already know that the Great reset is coming and that fiat currencies are going to get...

    So my business partner left and left me with huge clothing stock here and my warehouse in east what should I do?

    Check your private messages. I might be interested depending on what exactly the clothes are.

    Whole sale

    They sell exactly the same stuff because they are both owned by exactly the same person.

    First member of staff

    I agree with the 1 month + notice. Just as you are taking a risk by hiring an employee, the employee is taking on a risk by joining a young small business. They should know there is a risk of being made redundant at anytime, even before the first month. Then again, it depends how long it takes...

    We are all being enslaved, that's why. ;)

    Misguided Into Administration - Who's Next?

    Many people always say I should trade online, but I can never see the appeal. Increasing prices of fuel making sending orders and receiving returns more expensive, ever increasing amount of returns for most goods (maybe this is people's new hobby as they can't afford to do other things)...

    Businesses asked to cut prices for consumers - what do you think to the new government campaign?

    Hopefully this goes through. I've been looking to buy a new Rolex watch for £20k, but there is no ways I can afford it with this Cost of Living crisis. If they were to slash their prices to around £19.5k, then I'd buy two!

    Can Labour make Britain the best place in the world to start and grow a business?

    I would have to pay full wholesale price + extortionate shipping costs. I buy clearance lots so get them at a cheaper/same price than what they cost in the factories in Asia (even after paying Tarrifs). Due to the nature of the goods, even if they were produced in an Asian country with a trade...

    Can Labour make Britain the best place in the world to start and grow a business?

    I import most of my products from the EU, and whilst the products were produced for and are already circulating in the EU, the goods are not of EU origin as they were produced in many different countries around the world. The new Rules of Origin make it impossible for me to claim any sort of...

    Can Labour make Britain the best place in the world to start and grow a business?

    Corporal Punishment should be brought back in schools. I hardly ever misbehaved in school otherwise I got the cane or got punished by doing forced manual labour at 6am on a Saturday. Kids these days feel too entitled as the system has made schools turn soft on them. Probably the woke mentality...

    Can Labour make Britain the best place in the world to start and grow a business?

    They should find a solution to the truly extortionate costs of renting business premises. As an example, I have an uncle who lives 1hr from Paris in France where his cost of warehousing is 2500 euros/month for around 10,000 sqft. Here in the UK anywhere within 2 hours of London you would be...

    How high will inflation go ?

    I get the feeling that the end solution to this inflation issue will not be through a fairer redistribution of wealth or increases in wages/benefits. Just as globalisation allowed governments to print more money and keep costs low because of cheaper production of goods overseas (whilst making...
