    What’s the state of play out there for UK Business

    Personally we are experiencing a slight uptick in enquiries- that said, I operate in a rich area in the South of England and I'd expect thsi area to be amongst the last to slow down. That's if we get a 'slow down'. Hitting the buffers at cruising speed will be a better anology I fear...

    What’s the state of play out there for UK Business

    Maybe the stupidly high rental prices will come down a bit, so young entrepreneurs can have a go? Maybe even rate reductions.... no wait, I'm dreaming! Property of all types in this country is so overvalued it's unreal.

    Manager turning off CCTV

    I'd do that. A few months ago I had to to that when I suspected an employeed to be stealing diesel. Sadly he was, so sacked on the spot.

    That's as I understand it also.

    Who offers the most, absolutely cheap broadband/isp services?

    You can get them with fixed IPs too if that's the concern.

    Wanting to sell my sole trader business, need to value or see if worth selling at all.

    The truck looks good but it won't appeal to most people looking to 'buy a business'- all the hassle of HGV licensing and tachos. As others have said, best you can hope for is to sell the truck and a small goodwill payment. Or if there's actually any profit in it then send it out with an...

    Claim against "wrong" Amazon company in Small Claims Court

    Bloody hell! That's comprehensive. Good find. Unbelievable the lengths Amazon go to.

    How will Trump tariffs affect us then?

    To add to the above, one should always start by frying the desired spices to match the area of cuisine along with the garlic. Cardamon, mustard seeds, that kind of thing. Makes all the difference in the world how you start a curry.

    What are your thoughts on cash?

    The very same. They do appear to like a distressed asset, with public contracts (or rather in this case, a public captive market) To be fair, they are smart cookies. We as a nation are the idiots for allowing it to happen.

    What are your thoughts on cash?

    My apologies. I meant Viridor. An easy mistake to make, you will appreciate. Unnusual name beginning with V, both operating within the rubbish/recyling industries. Viridor began as a British company which expanded greatly, and is now wholly owned by KKR- an American investment firm. Just one of...

    What are your thoughts on cash?

    I read a fascinating book recently called 'Vassal State', by an Angus someone. It's the authors first (and as yet only) book, and he has a very warm yet matter of fact tone which gets his information across succinctly. I'd highly recommend it. The thrust of the book was upon just how much of...

    Buying a commercial property

    With what money? Nothing is moving at current prices, nevermind at higher prices. First time buyers can't afford to buy in at the previous highs as interest rates are now normalising from silly lows, so we are in a stalemate. There's currently enough pressure (job losses, recession) to lead to...
