    I would try Neutradol.

    Company Directors Required to Hand Over Digital ID to Companies House

    I found a thread online a couple of weeks ago where the Gov.uk people were answering questions on this. Sorry can't find it at the moment. But the short answer is that you need to look at companies and directors as completely separate, as different entities. So you'll have an email address for...

    Company Directors Required to Hand Over Digital ID to Companies House

    Sorry to resurrect an old-ish thread. I'm having difficulty with this. Have tried twice and get the "Based on what you told us, you cannot prove your identity with GOV.UK One Login" message. I've got an email address verified, so far so good. Downloaded and opened the GOV.UK One Login app on a...

    Is technology killing business?

    I've experienced this with a bank these last four months. A ltd company - two of the directors died within 5 weeks of each other. I was the last man standing on the bank account. So we decided to appoint a new additional director and get her registered as a signatory on the bank account. Oh...

    Bank question about where tax resident

    Thanks all for the replies. Just one more of these frustrating annoyances that we're all becoming accustomed to nowadays. Hugely time wasting from my point of view. Of course the form has all the neat little boxes where all responses need to be filled in preprinted boxes one letter at a time. I...

    Bank question about where tax resident

    A small limited company that I’m involved with has received an 18 page questionnaire from the bank asking about “where your organisation is resident for tax purposes”. This is a tiny company, not properly trading, no financial stuff worth talking about. Four of us set it up prior to covid...

    Cloud Storage Business

    If you don't keep your own secure data backups, then you're not placing any value on it. Data centres can burn down. It does happen. Companies go bust and the last thing they'll be bothered about is your data, if you haven't bothered to protect it yourself. There are cyber attacks every day...

    Been declared bankrupt and need some advice please

    Sometimes you need to make your health your top priority. I have no doubt that no matter what you do in the next couple of years, there's going to be a lot of stress. What if you take a high responsibility job, then you find you must take time out to deal with the after effects of the...

    Mr Bates vs The Post Office

    Computer Weekly was a fantastic publication at that time. I'm sure it was them wrote about the MOD helicopter crash that killed loads of the top security/intelligence bods from Northern Ireland. Again - exactly the same scenario - the guys at the sharp end (pilot) got the blame and paid...

    Mr Bates vs The Post Office

    I'm more depressed than shocked at seeing a big hullabaloo like this now. Given that we've known about this for twenty years. Given that a number of the affected people took their own lives. Given that hundreds lost so much, families broken up, and so much more. But that's the society we seem to...

    Computer maintenance

    I'm looking for someone who can provide ongoing computer support. Must be based in Scotland, and must be available for on site work from time to time. This is not just for the usual Microsoft based services, but requiring some decent hardware experience.

    Question

    If you have personal accounts with the same bank, they MIGHT retaliate against you personally, if you don't clear that overdraft. Banks are essentially a law unto themselves. You must never assume they will deal with you fairly. They could close personal accounts without warning and without...

    Goodbye UKBF and thanks for all the fish!

    @TheByre : really sorry to read this. I don't often contribute in this forum, although I look in fairly frequently. I will miss your take on the overall business situation. Business - whether big or small - is affected by many environments. Keeping your eye on the ball involves much more than...
