    The latest SEISS help please Feb/mar/Apr 2021

    Can anyone tell me whether i can put the latest SEISS grant covering February/march/April 2021 through my accounts so it appears in the months that I was actually claiming the grant for. In other words I had no work coming in in Feb/March 2021 so it would seem far more sensible to put the grant...

    Chinese virus

    Some expert was was talking on radio 4 the other day and said coronavirus is genetically unusual to most viruses in that it's made of a single stranded RNA instead of a normal double stranded DNA. This makes it much more likely to mutate and hence hard to create vaccines which have longevity...

    Wedding car hire business help

    Interesting! Yeah I am a trained mechanic too so I can deal with the repairs. But the idea is to make money like. Was it your father's full time job?

    Wedding car hire business help

    Yes you are probably right with what you say, it just lends itself to have at least two cars in case one fails/has to be repaired or simply won't start one day. Having 2 or 3 cars also helps to cover all bases as I would assume people would be put off if their family and bridesmaids etc can't be...

    Wedding car hire business help

    What would you guys say the penalty of not having a licence to be worst case scenario? Fine and a ban from further business activities in this area? Or just a slap on the wrist and an insisting of the correct licencing be implemented?

    Wedding car hire business help

    If you search on the gov website "limousine licencing" it clearly says that weddings and funerals are exempt. Excuse my ignorance but is it possible for a local council to follow a different set of guidelines to the ones set out on the gov website? Seems very strange to me if that is the case?

    Wedding car hire business help

    Hi I am on the verge of investing in some classic wedding cars to start a wedding car hire business. I have secured finance and I have had some hire and reward insurance quotes which I am happy with. (Also public liability). The only issue I'm stumbling on is whether you need a licence or not? I...
