Hello,
I am currently selling my business over a period of time to the current manager and I wonder if anyone can advise me on the best way to apportion the sale ?

Thanks for your reply.

However, I am interested in an unbiased answer to the question, which hangs on the definition of the word "attend" as your reply is an opinion.
Hello,
Does anyone know when cooperating with the liquidator whether I am legally compelled to physically attend his office. I have been responding by letter, but feel very disinclined to attend as I have ben so stressed by the whole situation that I really feel I cannot cope with any more...
Thank you very much for your extremely helpful reply.
The money that set up the unit that was sold was all personal money, as incorporation had not taken place at that point in time, then further personal money was put in, but the business was unable to pay me a salary for over a year, or...

Hello this is a question related to the above thread. We are the subject of a tenacious investigation by HMRC over our VAT calculations on takeaway/eat in food. They are claiming we owe them 90k in underpaid VAT, a crazy amount that would have meant that our gross takings would have to have been...
A business advisor has suggested asking the landlords if they will transfer the lease to another party, as a sole trader. we have someone willing to take it on. Does anyone have any views on this ?
Thank you very much for this last reply, it's very helpful. The last thing we want is to loose this site/ use it as a dumping ground for debt, on the contrary we are trying to protect it and the employees, but I understand the landlord will want additional security and don't have a problem with...
