    Estate & Letting Agents - Start up thoughts from my experience

    Excellent original post. One of my businesses is a successful estate agency and confirm all is true. Only things i disagree with is the serviced office. the public like the fact you have a shop front even if they do not visit it. Quite a few are available for £500 per month if in a secondary...

    And that is fine, some people just seem to revel in highlighting issues.

    Advice needed: Offer to purchase my business and contacting other interested parties.

    Was that the advice he was looking for? No he wanted to know how to get more offers. Why not try and help people with the questions they ask.

    Advice needed: Offer to purchase my business and contacting other interested parties.

    Hi Robert, as always certain people on here just chest puffing without really knowing your business, just wanting to look important. I am sure you are well enough placed to decide yourself if the offer is genuine for the comments you have posted above. Answering the question you have posted...

    I have made my fully working prototype, but it utilises a 'ceased' UK patent. Legal?

    Sounds like you have lots of enthusiasm and you believe in this product. But by the sounds you are a million miles away from getting to market by manufacturing or licensing. I would suggest drawing up an NDA, And look to partner with somebody with experience who can help you. If it is as good...

    Partnership structure

    If you do not want to be directly regulated (which is very expensive and A LOT of paperwork) you can have your own agency under a network such a Tenet (or a number of others). You pay a monthly subscription, but you usually keep all commission and fees but they take care of certain insurance...

    Partnership structure

    ThinkingAhead. Are they directly regulated or under a network? Chances are if they are under a network they have these agreements already in place such as you will have to use them. If they are directly authorised, why not look to have your own agency under a network? As long as you have 6...

    Would you hire a 'Paid on Performance' digital agency?

    Yes i would. I have been trying to find someone to do this for years. As estate agents we are paid on results. In my opinion so should others. I would happily pay for a true results driven service to be paid a very fair % of the business they can demonstrate they have landed.

    Shareholder wants to step down as Director but keep shares!

    Hi NickNock, I understand your anger, would upset me also. Sorry some of the above are a little rude and blunt to you must be stressful enough. The honest answer by the sounds of what you have laid out she is able to do this, and also the offer of a reduction of 10% share capital is fairer...
