    Starting a box lunch delivery service (not sandwiches...), need advice on logistics

    +1 to ThePublisher's comments. If you are worried the feedback would be lacking in negative comments, phrase the comments card like "what is the one thing we could improve about the meals?" and perhaps give a discount off the next meal box to people who fill them in.

    Starting a box lunch delivery service (not sandwiches...), need advice on logistics

    Sounds like a good idea. I would target 2 offices initially. Try to get a feel for initial orders by emailing an offer in advance, as said above. Have a 3rd office who you have introduced yourself to, and advise you will be starting in the next few weeks. If the first 2 don't sell you out, you...

    Best Date to Convert Sole Trader to Ltd Company, and Structure

    Didn't realise I had asked the same question as before! Will HMRC be willing/able to answer any of these types of questions? The whole point of the Ltd Co is to save hopefully up to £500 in the first year in NI, and potentially be able to claim training course as an expense and save another...

    Best Date to Convert Sole Trader to Ltd Company, and Structure

    Thanks. Landlords want the 1st month's rent up front to secure the deal and take off the market. Ltd Co to then be formed and Ltd Co to sign the lease. Would the 1st month's rent then count as a director's loan? Is that possible, as how can money be loaned to an entity which does not exist yet?

    Best Date to Convert Sole Trader to Ltd Company, and Structure

    Starter Pack

    Apologies for the length of my first post. It seemed like a couple of quick questions in my head, and turned into a saga! First Part: My partner does massage as a sole trader, and I submitted her 2011-2012 tax return (less than a full year) and her 2012-2013 tax return. These were fairly...

    For business startup receipts from before the official start date, how many months back can I go?

    Annual Investment Allowance (First Year Sole Trader)

    PS - I did do a search to see if I could find an answer on here. Not sure if that is why I got no replies, or is it just the subject matter, or is it the fact I posted in the middle of the night? I do have one other question. I bought some stuff which I was toying with selling and ended up...

    Annual Investment Allowance (First Year Sole Trader)

    I started a business in October 2012 and bought equipment in January 2013 (£2500) and June 2013 (£1000). I had originally planned to finish my tax year on 5th April 2013, to keep things simple for DIY return. Am I correct in thinking the following: (i) Anything under the current AIA of £25,000...
