    Yes the other company did not last long, obviously not properly trained as running a business at a loss is the last thing one should do. If you provide quality service, that speaks for itself as customers will always come back. No need to reduce prices to tempt them,

    landlord not accepting rent

    That would have been easier to workd out of course if I had breached any part or made an authorised alterations which I have not done. If that was the case, they would have given that as a reason. A few months ago, they tried to offer me alternative premises as they said they had someone...

    Thankyou for all your comments. I did go through a solicitor before signing the lease and as to late payments, the lease just says the landlord can charge interest for late payments and I was a day late.

    I asked myself the same question, how can they make any money with the prices they were quoting taking into consideration the cost involved in providing the service? I have now realised that they have just trained in this industry, hence the lack of business brains!
