    Advice needed about Plumbers purchasing habits

    Thank you both for the replies. Bill, interesting to hear about your experience, unfortunately I may be responsible for one of those websites cropping up, although not yet set up.

Our ideal target customers are generally small-medium sized property development companies but we're thinking of expanding our reach to sell to/through plumbers as well. I was hoping to get the thoughts & opinions of...

    Sage Issue 'There is an unallocated cheque balance of £X.XX'

    Hi John, I have indeed already posted a credit note. I think I was just being unrealistic here. I have a single customer set up as 'eBay' that I use to host all sales that come through eBay for this reason I may have to credit someone when I don't have sufficient invoice value to match it up...

    Sage Issue 'There is an unallocated cheque balance of £X.XX'

    Hi, I'm having some small yet very frustrating issues with sage! When I try and credit a customer, sage wont post the credit to the account without having an invoice in which to place it. This kind of makes sense, but I was wondering if there is any way around it? I'm trying to match/reconcile...

    Independent grocery stores?

    Luckily with Easy Up, there should never be a time when the product is wasted (3 years 'sell by'). Thanks for this information, it has cleared up the process for me and I now have a system that should work!

    Independent grocery stores?

    Thanks Alf, and Jo, both replies have some great information! Would anyone be able to advise me on how independent stores go about ordering, replenishing stock and paying please? I'm guessing it would be direct debit and they would somehow get in contact when stock is running low, but this...

    New Business Idea What You Think?

    Hi, I completely agree with this being virtually risk free (the only risks are things like cost of your time, petrol, phone and internet usage). If you have a large network of friends and businesses already and feel confidence selling, this can be a really great way to start off. I have...

    You are more than welcome to have a sample for free, just let me know where to send it! It would be great to get more opinions of the product :) Since doing a bit of Google hunting I had figured! This is of course great news for me since I can now find a university post-code and simply tap...

    Independent grocery stores?

    Again, these responses are definitely helping me stick on the right track! Do you know which of these stores have the ability to buy from an independent retailer? I assumed that chains like Nisa, Spar, Costcutter and Londis would have to buy from a central purchasing unit? Any thoughts on...

    Independent grocery stores?

    Independent grocery stores?

    Hi, I hope you're all having a great day, and can spare a little time to answer a fairly simple question: I am trying to work out who independent retail stores (eg: any food stuffs retail store that isn't part of a larger chain) buy their stock from. Surely they don't buy each product...

    New business idea: Perhaps you could point me in the right direction?

    Hi, Thanks for the response. I agree with putting safety first and I already have samples which have been tested and are perfectly safe. I didn't know the Princes Trust had a legal helpline and I will check that out tomorrow, cheers for that information. Kind Regards, Gideon
