    Taking out a business loan to build credit score???

    Thanks for making it clear, I had the feeling that if there is a good income weekly/monthly, there will be no problem getting a bigger loan in the future, it's just always better to ask before, I go ask my business bank manager, which would probably tell me the same thing.

    Taking out a business loan to build credit score???

    Private Reg plates

    Could anyone tell me how private reg plates work? can I go and make or order one that no one has made yet so I don't have to pay a silly price? or do I have to buy ones that are already made which means I cant make my own ones that no one came up with? Thanks

    Registering for VAT

    Hello there, Would anyone recommend registering for VAT straight away for a new construction firm? Machinery and other stuff will be bought and it mainly includes VAT so that's why I'm thinking of registering for VAT from the beginning. Thank you.
