    What's your long term plan for your ecommerce business?

    I take your point - I hadn't even thought about other small business employers having a second signatory on their account.

    I schedule it before I go away.

    What's your long term plan for your ecommerce business?

    Great points... same, I can't imagine selling my business at this point! I think I'll speak to my accountant and get some advice from him on all this.

    What's your long term plan for your ecommerce business?

    Yes, this is indeed the current plan for this financial year! I moved into new premises and had to invest in a number of areas - but what's also eroded margin is testing new marketing. I didn't know accountants could do that - i.e. access our bank account! Is that normal practice??

    30 Minutes free consultation?

    Isn't that what they'd possibly expect anyway from a business provider?

    What's your long term plan for your ecommerce business?

    I'm paying into a pension but my main focus has been growing the business. It's hard to plough money into both. But, I'm now thinking about what the next steps are - whether I should double down on growth with the plan of selling in 10 years OR escalating the pension to make that a priority (but...

    What's your long term plan for your ecommerce business?

    I take a salary + dividends. My salary is included in it but dividends are not.

    What's your long term plan for your ecommerce business?

    There isn't anyone actually working in the business at the moment that would be a suitable fit for taking it over. As a small business, it definitely hasn't warranted a management team. Perhaps if we get to £1m turnover and we can get more economies of scale, we could look at that. No back up...

    What's your long term plan for your ecommerce business?

    Honestly, I think it could trundle on for a little while (if I could still make bank payments etc.). But, I'm definitely a key part of it at this stage.

    What's your long term plan for your ecommerce business?

    Thanks everyone… Firstly, I’ll say that have no interest in bringing in a partner to grow the business. I can’t think of anything worse 😂 I employ a small team who pack orders and help customers, and I can bring in expertise with external partners as and when there’s a need. To answer some...

    Is this something you've discovered yourself in your own business?

    What's your long term plan for your ecommerce business?

    I launched my ecommerce business 14 years ago. I'd say it's been a solid lifestyle business (i.e. £400k turnover, grown fairly organically, small team... turning a profit but not making the profit I would ideally like). I've been thinking about my long term plans - specifically, the someday...

    Xero and Shopify

    I have an ecommerce business using Shopify, and I'm looking to move from Kashflow to Xero. Some questions: Do you integrate Shopify with Xero to get all the transactional data - not sure if this is too granular as there would be so many transactions in there? How important is it to import...
