    New company - how does the company obtain cash with no revenue?

    I was 'aware' of them, I just didn't know how they worked in practice. I would regard myself as fairly financially savvy, I understand the basics. I am in touch with an accountant, but I appreciate the tip :)

    New company - how does the company obtain cash with no revenue?

    Thanks for the answers. Director loans seem to be the way to go for now. They will be relatively small sums as the business has very low startup capital needs.

    Custom Database website Technology help .NET or PHP

    I am a former PHP developer (before turning to business), I would pay someone to do it rather then learning it all yourself. Your better turning your hand to your business development. It takes years to learn to code properly, and then you have to think about all the maintenance and further...

    So I'd like to sell my photographic product through Dixons Retail....

    I used to work for Dixon's (two years ago) the average margin on imaging accessories is 50%. However I do not think they will take your product on. They only sell recognized brand e.g lowerpro or there own brand products.

    Cutting out the Middleman?

    Makes no sense. You just said yourself you can't order from the factory because order quantity is to high. So why would Joe bloogs from the rat race be able to?
