    The van will not be used for any private use but if someone could clarify the situation that would be great.

    Company Van

    Could someone explain how we claim for a company van in our accounts? We are probably going to use the company credit card, or possibly a personal card then transfer to a 0% card and pay it off within the time to get an in effect interest free loan. What can we claim for, fuel, insurance...

    Well for once I'm happy to have been proven wrong. Hope your sales are all up!

    Sub-contracting Plumbers

    Thanks everyone for the advice. Will make things a lot easier to start with if we don't have to get involved with CIS. I really appreciate the help.

    Pessimism about the weather.

    Not day to day weather but it's quite reliable for longer term predictions. I'm not talking Metoffice type predictions here, they have lost a lot of long term customers who have moved to other systems. Utility customers have much better weather predictions and companies like Centrica invest...

    Pessimism about the weather.

    It's been a long, long winter and was hoping for the oppsite myself but it doesn't look like we are going to get it. Personal I think the big 4 supermarkets and the likes of eBay and Amazon have a lot to answer for, hence they are all on my boycott list. They have transformed the highstreet...

    Pessimism about the weather.

    Not what you might want to hear but I have access to long range weather forcasts, the type of thing that costs mega money to produce for planning gas usage and the like for power stations months in advance and it doesn't look good. We are predicted to have a wet summer with below average...

    Yep, think your right. I was hoping that as I'm looking to be more involved in growing the business and running it day to day and not have too much customer interaction I could get away with using my personal car for a short while until I have the staff in place. But I'm going to have to need a...

    Nick, I think your right. I'll probably buy a little run around or possibly a van that can be passed onto the first person I take on. The wife has a Seat Ibiza that should do the trick.

    Mike, Thanks for the info. Is it ok if Pm you if I have any questions that I think you may be able to help with? Chinese suppliers would be good for some products, if as you say they are WRAS approved etc. I've worked for some big water companies and am currently employed with a large...

I'll swing by Amsterdam if we get there, are there any...

    That's the problem, not your average salesmans car. I budget 4k a year servicing costs and 8-19 mpg so not cheap to run but makes me smile. Might pick up a cheap A4 if I find it putting customers off.
