    Payroll manually to HMRC?

    Wouldn't it be easier to simply close it down via that PAYE tool rather than try my patience on the phone and my luck with getting the right person at the end? I could even get it done this weekend. I got a notice for not filing PAYE info in time and a rather large estimated tax bill from PAYE...

    Payroll manually to HMRC?

    Yes, I'll be closing that PAYE asap but from what I've seen it has to be done via the PAYE software? https://www.gov.uk/stop-employing-staff The information wasn't very clear to me. It was clearly stipulated throughout that a company requires at least one director. But as you put it, a director...

    Payroll manually to HMRC?

    So every ltd company requires at least one employee but doesn't necessarily need to operate a PAYE scheme? That must have been my misunderstanding.

    Payroll manually to HMRC?

    When I say manually, I mean not using any software. Is there this option?

    Payroll manually to HMRC?

    I didn't confuse a minimum of 1 director with employee. I really didn't want to have any employees but at that time when setting up the ltd company, I didn't see any other options. A bit of googling doesn't provide any relevant results except for this one...

    When setting up the company, I didn't see any options not to.

    Payroll manually to HMRC?

    I've set up a ltd company to do some plumbing work. I do very little work, this is more like a hobby than to earn anything. However, in order to set up a ltd company, there needs to be a minimum of 1 employee. So now I need to submit payroll to HMRC. I'm not paying myself every month. There's...

    Approaching advertisers - what did I do wrong?

    Nick, The website is definitely the business in my case. Can you imagine Google, FB, Twitter in print magazines, in an exhibition? And not for advertising. Their business model is all about their website and perhaps an app. Google doesn't even have an app for its main source of revenue (PPC &...

    Approaching advertisers - what did I do wrong?

    Yes there are. Aren't advertisers trying to market something to you? They might well be a very conservative bunch in this industry. Which would explain why most are still going for print advertising when everyone else is moving online.

    Approaching advertisers - what did I do wrong?

    Correct, that's why I now believe getting the site up and running is important. Not to the point of sending free traffic to potential advertisers, I'll never be able to afford that, but enough to convince them to join their competitors on this platform. ethical PR - I already did my market...

    Approaching advertisers - what did I do wrong?

    What you need to have is a reason for the companies to work with and advertise with you For the big retailers, they certainly want volume. I may not have it right now but that's the point of the website and my intention to them. ... once you've got that the website will follow, but the website...

    Approaching advertisers - what did I do wrong?

    Nick, I did try calling people as I thought it's a more personal approach but a few ask me to email them, maybe to fob me off, and others were not available. One's telephone voicemail was full. I also tailored my message in my email according to the retailer, so for the big ones, I mentioned a...

    Approaching advertisers - what did I do wrong?

    How can you know if my idea is bad when you don't even know in which industry it is? There are loads of comparison websites out there, some more successful than others. There is one comparison site in my targeted industry so I don't see why mine is wrong. Many great businesses were started off...
