    One Ltd company buying another

    Has anyone been through this and what are the processes and ramifications? I understand that basically, the buying company pays the shareholder(s) of the bought company for their shares. The change in ownership is then notified to companies house. Can any price be negotiated or are there...

    business mentoring and guidance

    Hi Adam, Well done. Just a quicky to say be very careful of mentors. You may have heard the saying those who can do, those who can't teach! Twice I have had bad mentoring from people who were a bit on an ego trip. The best advice often comes from colleages who you meet in networking so do go...

    13 years and no motivation

    When did you last have a holiday? What do you do when not working? One problem is that the sort of person who gets a buzz from starting something new is not the same sort of person who gets a buzz from keeping things going. Invest in yourself. Time, hobbies, dreams, culture, learning, sport...

    What would be sufficient evidence to confirm have sufficient income to meet the rent

    I would think so. He can always ask for more information if he wants. We had to provide information to act as guarantors when our son got his first flat. I got the impression that the agents really had no clue how to assess but needed to tick a box. However as this is a commercial lease, you...

    business/life advice

    Not everyone would agree with the above advice. Getting a life can and should be fun, escapism isn't all it is cracked up to be. There is no reason why the OP cannot find fulfilment in what he is doing, he just needs a social scene too. Nor is travel wrong for someone else. It just might not be...

    You also may need to meet a different sort of person to before.Many people do not understand those who plough their own furrow and tend to pull them down because they do not understand.

    It's not over yet - EU

    I tink it is too simplistic and driven by the media to equate wanting to leave the EU with wanting to restrict immigration. Even a few in the Leave campaign were clearly saying having control of the borders means being able to decide, it does not mean that we will close it to EU or other...

    It's not over yet - EU

    I didn't vote out primarily because of migration. So I don't rule this out. More important to me is that we keep our identity as a country, our values, and our democracy. I found Mr Obama's reaction interesting. He described the vote as having pressed the pause button on full European...

    It's not over yet - EU

    Q's Who do we want to negotiate with now to open up new markets? What are our core values which we want to keep? (that we feared losing in United states of Europe) Where do we see opportunities? How do we promote the required skills? How do we encourage and nurture entrepreneurial skills...

    It's not over yet - EU

    As I see it we voted to have more influence and self-determination. So what are we determined to do now? All this talk still comes from a victim mentality (on both sides), but my question is, 'Now we have at leat a finger on the steering wheel, where do we want to go?' It might not be an easy...
