    Shoddy Workmanship - Advice Needed

    Thanks for the advice guys. Really appreciated. Our t&cs specifically state that they should have inspected the goods and responded with issues on delivery, which they never did. It was only after the subbbie left site that the client brought some issues up. I’ve offered to remedy issues by...

    Shoddy Workmanship - Advice Needed

    We recently started a building project for a client, with sub-contractors carrying out the fitting. One of those ones that you'd rather not, but you need to pay the bills. Part way through the project there were delays, and we pulled off site whilst we manufactured new materials. There were...

    Chasing a debt

    Thank you for that. I'll certainly do that instead. Every email and quotation we send out makes reference to our terms and conditions. Nothing was mentioned either before or after by our customer.

    Chasing a debt

    They're saying that the hotel says the room isn't fit for purpose, but it's still shiny and new, and being used. Was full of stock when I went to investigate.

    Chasing a debt

    Hi We have a customer that we've supplied a walk-in chiller to. They in turn have supplied it to an end user who is supposedly complaining about it. We've been back to site to take a look and everything is as it should be, no problems whatsoever. I suspect the end user isn't even aware that...

    SSE Business Energy - Previous Tenant Debt

    Hi We've recently moved premises and the previous tenant has left with debts owing to SSE. I approached them and asked for a new energy contract, and they now want a copy of the lease before they will proceed. Whilst that wouldn't normally be a problem, my landlords surveyor took away the...

    Personal Guarantee in T&C's

    I've just received credit from a supplier, and have been on pro-forma for the first few invoices. I noticed in the T&C's that there is a personal guarantee included. I've declined the credit facility on that basis and was just wondering if it could have been enforceable should the worst of...

    Sisters Business Registered At Parents House - Any Risks

    My accountant once told me to have my registered address at my home address. Whilst I could claim mileage from the registered address to the factory, the implications (as Ian) mentioned, are the potential debt collectors.

    Invoicing for completely different category of business

    From what I gather, you'll need to change your SIC code with companies house when you complete your confirmation statement. When and if you provided an SIC code to companies house, it was for planned activities. So if you're planned activities change, it shouldn't be a problem.

    Business Rates - Split Unit

    We have a small unit (5,000 sqft) that we use for manufacturing. My accountant has advised splitting the unit to take advantage of the increased small business rate relief so that we qualify for 100% relief. Whilst I relish the idea of saving several grand, I'm a cynic, and have had run ins...
