    Discretion about director at AGM

    I see. So presumably that former director still lives in the property. Tricky. Quite frankly, if he repaid the money to the company then he clearly acknowledges that he should not have authorised the payments he did. I don't think you should try and conceal it to be honest. If one of the...

    Discretion about director at AGM

    State the facts exactly as you have above. People can then draw their own conclusions without you slandering anyone. As a shareholder I would like to know that an investigation took place, what the outcome of that investigation was and whether criminal proceedings had been considered and, if...

    Company shares. Lost share certificates

    Email copy is fine. You'd be surprised how many companies never even issue share certificates to begin with.

    ^^ Yikes! This is why you should be careful seeking advice on the internet...

    Where to find partners/salespeople for a new SaaS product?

    Yes, you will have to drive traffic until you get some serious traction. Honestly? That project will never reach its target. Your project page is way too light on detail. There are dozens of time tracking solutions out there already and your page says nothing about why this might be better. I...

    Beware of StressFreePrint

    Nope. OP has left negative reviews elsewhere too.

    Beware of StressFreePrint

    I doubt they are even making £40 on that order. Printing's a tough game. Rather them than me.

    Beware of StressFreePrint

    He doesn't need to. As well as offering another discount code, StressFreePrint offered to collect the order and give him a full refund. I'm glad my customers don't go leaving multiple negative reviews online on such a whim.

    Non profit company advice

    A statement I don't recall anyone making. The Big Issue is a great example. They have often been criticised for their highly professional production and extremely limited contribution of homeless people to the actual making of the paper. However, they know how to turn a profit and make a...

    Planning a middleman business, what order to do things?

    What are your USPs? You are giving us so little information that it is hard to make constructive suggestions. Are those freelancers going to be the service providers? Whose quality your reputation is going to rely upon? Isn't that like Uber signing up learner drivers? I'm pretty sure Uber...

    Planning a middleman business, what order to do things?

    I get it. But right now you have nothing. You are asking people to sign up on a promise. They won't. Or at least not in the numbers you need. Quickest way to get people on your system is to just put them on there yourself. If you wait for them to take action then you may never get there. Once...

    www.socialenterprise.org.uk is also a good place to explore.

    Non profit company advice

    In my experience, social enterprises that are uncomfortable with 'lining the pockets' of those that drive them forward are unsustainable and fail to achieve the very worthy aims of the founders. There tends to be too much social and not enough enterprise in this sector. My advice would be the...
