    Directors loan in - or other credit?

    Hello everybody, thanks for reading. On my accounts, when I've transferred money from my personal bank account into my company account, I've marked this item down as "director loan in". Is that correct? My only concern is to show HMRC that I've not financially benefited from lending money to...

    Google Is Supporting Link Farms

    From my own experience, I am a bit bemused at the Google approach of "build your site for user experience, not for search engines" because I've looked at several competitors who occupy top spots for keywords and they use duplicate content and a whole host of rubbish, non-website relavant links...

    Is Barclays business account any good?

    Why would you take business advice from an employee when you could look to a fellow entrepeneur? Bank employees are employees (not business people). You can't expect fully fledged business advice from somebody not in business?

    How to start a letting agency

    My two cents: Southcourt package is good (I'm not aware of the other) and gives lots of practical advice. Their website package is not as valuable as the manual though (viewpoint database is free, Portal manager is free and you can use a template site and make it yourself). It's best to get...

    Business Advice From Lettings or Estate Agents

    The post above is spot on. As for marketing, I'd contact agents directly and aim to differentiate from the competitor. Frankly in some cities there is only one company offering this service so competition would be welcomed.

    Telesales - how many calls an hour

    The above quoted figures of around 100 calls per day seem standard. 150 is really pushing it. Automated diallers will double productivity and beyond. I've used EasyCallNow.net which is pay per minute, no setup charges and it is really good for a low-cost dialler.

    RightMove disappointment

    OP, You could move to Zoopla.co.uk on a pay-per-lead basis? They are the number 2 property portal and are improving in all areas compared to how they used to be. I still would like to see their search function improved as it's less easy than Rightmove although it is improving slowly. Zoopla...

    I'm pleased with Banana Office so far (who I believe offer this service). Ashley is passionate about his business, responds 7 days a week (unofficially ;) ) and they deliver what they say they do.
