    Unlawful forfeiture

    Looks like you need to align your payment process with theirs. But they do appear to have been quite unreasonable in how theyve operated. Tbh if it was me and they asked for proof of payment, i've have told them to check the bank account. But if I was them, i would have checked the bank...

    New to the vehicle check space - what would you do differently?

    how are you going to compete against carvertical for instance? I follow a variety of car youtubers and they all market carvertical quite often as sponsors/paid partners. Must be expensive and how do you plan to beat that?

    Spongebob or IP?

    What advice have you had about paying for the company car from your dla avoiding bik? Because you paying the invoice amount doesnt mean its your car, its still a company car and bik still applies. It may reduce due to personal contributions (i cant remember the calculation, its been a while...

    Taking card payments

    It depends on how much you're taking over a year and how you need to take the payment. We deal with teya and dojo for card integrations as part of pos solutions, and its not just the rate for the card, but terminal fees and whatever else gets added. We usually find the ones i mentioned...

    How to approach software sales to physical locations?

    i think you'll struggle to get traction unless its part of the wider ecosystem (or tech stack as we seem to call it now). POS, backoffice, order at table, online ordering, handheld ordering, kiosks, ticketing, kitchen video order management, digital signage, accounts integration - they are...

    What are your thoughts on cash?

    Some time ago, it would cost a fixed amount to process debit cards (30p comes to mind). Now everything is on a percentage generally. Some of the merchant accounts for lower end accounts will be 10p + %, but anyone with a business level turnover should be on a sub 1% for normal domestic card...

    Starting up and I am hitting a wall already

    Similar question was asked a couple of years ago, and it wasnt clear if you actually need hire and reward. https://www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk/threads/waste-removal-insurance-advice.423243/post-3200703

    Hiring NEC or Excel London

    Farnborough Exhibition is one to consider. As a visitor ive been to a couple of large events and their space is very scaleable. Its been a while since ive been to the NEC, but Excel is so easy to get to now the elizabeth line goes there (well, for me anyway!) so I would suggest the location...

    Tuicamp: School's cashless payment webapp needs testing

    I know schools are cashless and that is something they want, but more specifically is what you're offering what schools want? What separates it from the current options and are you aware of the other functionality and integrations that would be needed by the school offices to make this work...

    Tuicamp: School's cashless payment webapp needs testing

    Are you sure this is something schools would want? Over the years ive had some experience of installing cashless systems in schools (before online topups were a thing)and im currently a primary school governor. All Secondary schools ive come across have online topups and let the child...

    HELP!! LTD company gone bust can’t pay IP. Creditors forced me out of business.

    Many replies, from a lot of well respected forum users. I would just repeat that you need to understand that your debts and the businesses are separate unless personally guaranteed. You also mention the stock wont cover the cost of the liquidation - it might. The cost of the liquidation is...

    How long have HMRC phones been down?

    I saw a thread on the civilservice subreddit (dont know why I get suggested that! ) which mentioned a rather widespread IT issue they were having yesterday which resulted in some of the phone services being turned off. Not sure if it was affecting the phones specifically or more likely the...

    Companies House, Compulsory Strike Off, meaning?

    If it was for not putting in the annual return on time, thats one thing and is a simple admin error. But hes said its for enforcing debt, which is a something else entirely and as others have said very concerning. Gut feeling is going into business with them will not end well!

    A good service to forward calls to my mobile?

    voipfone, they are on here and ive used them for over a decade. There are a couple of options as to how the incoming calls show but (and its been a while since I looked at it) we could have the customers number showing or something that showed the redirect. Couldnt have something that showed...

    Shire Leasing Rijo42

    Big Jase is complaining about Shire, but it doesnt appear their issue is with them. When we did systems on leasing, we generally wouldnt include year 2 and 3 service/support because of the additional cost to the customer in interest. Some wanted it for peace of mind, but most would just want...
