    how much does a website usually cost to setup?

    Hello, I am going to be setting up my own website soon as well, so good luck to us both! For me, using the following site, my initial costs would be about £250 probably a bit less, and then the same again yearly. http://www.123-reg.co.uk They're worth checking out as they offer SSL...

    Joomla & MijoShop

    Hello everyone, I am currently in the process of building the website for my business. I don't plan for it to be up and running for a few months yet (once I have a wider range of stock). Anyway, I love Joomla as it is sleek and simple to use from an administrative point of view. For now I am...

    Website + Merchant Services, Need Rough Costs + Advice

    Does your company sell these products? & help with installation/integration and setup? Are they one off payments and do they charge per transaction, monthly costs or not at all?

    Website + Merchant Services, Need Rough Costs + Advice

    Currently it is an assumption, although as well as the financial side of things, I will be putting a lot of hours into advertising my site. I am still undecided on company name, although at some point this weekend when I have time I will sit down and brainstorm for a few hours, attempt to come...

I will be making a Facebook page for the business soon, and as my sales increase on eBay, hopefully I will receive positive feedback from that.

    Useful Books?

    I'm not actually too sure, just anything that may be useful to me when starting up a Sole Trader business. Bookkeeping, laws, useful pointers etc. There's still a lot I need to learn, but I'm willing to put in the hours to do that.

    The myth of the self made man.

    As far as I know, Alan Sugar started out selling sweets at market stalls. I was put into foster care at the age of 4, lived with 9, maybe 10 different families until I was 12 when I settled into a home with the family I now consider to be my 'real' family. I have had behavioural difficulties...

    The myth of the self made man.

    Got to disagree with this, sorry. Life is what you make it. Sure, its gonna help a hell of a lot if your dads name is Richard Branson, but that is not to say you can't make something of your life and achieve success from very little, if you have the brains, willing and determination.

    Two-poundland

    This isn't going to help at all but not far from where I used to live in the midlands there was a shop in Brierley Hill (close to merry hill shopping centre) that sold items for £2. I can't remember the name and I never went in there in my life (only use poundland for AA + AAA batteries, nothing...

    Question regarding tax as a Sole Trader

    Well I'm 20 years old and this is my first venture into business. I have had a few jobs since leaving school, so really a lot of this is a learning curve to me. Saying that, its enjoyable working for myself. The way I see it, I'd rather minimise my expenses (at least until/if/when business...

    Question regarding tax as a Sole Trader

    Thankyou for the clarification, I have never seen a self assessment tax return form by the way. I'm just trying to cover all the bases as I don't want to find out that I have to pay an unexpected amount and find that I don't have the funds, which would mess me up. Thanks again for clearing...
