    Private landlord - can I do credit checks on new tenants (with permission)?

    I'm a first time landlord looking to rent out a second property on the private market. Is it possible for me as a private landlord to do a credit check on potential tenants, provided I get their permission first? I had a look on Equifax, Experian and TransUnion but it seems as a private...

    Home workers & travel expenses

    Thank you @TheCyclingProgrammer and @Newchodge for your answers. This is clearly a bit of a minefield with lots of different interpretations available! I was thinking that if I provide a contract of employment that says their main place of work is their home address, and if the purpose of...

    Home workers & travel expenses

    I've been advertising some new roles at my company that allow 100% home working. However I've been asked what the situation is re: travel expenses if a home worker is asked to come into the office to attend meetings? If I paid for their travel to the office for a meeting, would the employee be...

    My story - and thank you Spongebob!

    My event hire business was pushed into insolvency earlier this year by Covid-19 forcing the cancellation of all public events in 2020, and no prospect of any bookings in 2021 either. We held on as long as possible with a combination of furloughing staff, minimising expenditure and negotiating...

    Possible to claim redundancy payment without liquidator?

    Hi everyone, I wondered if anyone had successfully made a claim for redundancy payment for a Director who is closing down their own company rather than using a liquidator? If so, what steps did you go through? On the Insolvency Service website I see they require a CN number but I don't have...

    Can an HEOC visit Directors home for Limited company debt?

    Thanks to you both for your quick replies. Do they have to go back to the Court first to update the writ to a Director's personal address, or can they just show up whenever they want? My wife is terrified that they could just walk in through the back door and be sitting in the kitchen!

    Can an HEOC visit Directors home for Limited company debt?

    My company has become insolvent due to Covid-19 wiping out an entire years worth of business (event hire). Having explored every possible option to keep the company afloat, we now have just £100 left in the bank and owe a total of £54k to suppliers and HMRC. With no money or assets for an...

    Recent experiences of Enterprise Finance Guarantee (EFG)?

    Hello everyone, I'm thinking about applying for a £100k business loan using the Enterprise Finance Guarantee to expand my established small business. I need the EFG because although I have positive cashflow, I don't have any assets upon which to secure the loan. Does anyone have any recent...

    Where should I advertise for sales people?

    I'm looking to hire a small number of full time prospecting and sales people. I don't want to go through an agency due to costs (I'm still a very small business), so I'm going to do the advertising and CV filtering myself. I'm interested in any recommendations on the best places to advertise...

    Why is my new thread not visible in the forum?

    Hi Phillip, thanks for replying. Yes it does seem to be visible in that forum. I'm just not sure why it's been moved there - my question isn't related to SEO, PPC or Online Marketing? It's about how to source lists of companies to then begin the sales process? I cannot imagine it's going to...

    Why is my new thread not visible in the forum?

    Hello, I'm hoping someone can help with a quick question. Last night I posted a new thread in the sales & marketing forum. I can see the thread listed under "Postings" in my profile, but it's not visible in the forum itself. I've not receive any private messages or notifications to say the...

    Lists of companies by category other than SIC code

    Hello all, I'm trying to source lists of companies that match our ideal customer profile. At the moment I use companies house data and search for SIC codes matching the companies I'm interested in. The problem is that I'm finding the SIC codes companies choose are often wrong. For example, I...
