    Use a Fulfillment service V Premises and staff

    +1 for fulfillment. Once you've fully automated the procedure it's a lot less to worry about. Don't have to worry about rent, security, staff wages, travel, insurance etc. Give fulfilment a try first, you can always go the whole hog later.

    Trademark in .co.uk domain name

    Hi there, I need some advice please. I've been contacted by a company, who we'll call companyx, about my domain name [companyx]directory.co.uk.

    2nd website addresses... confused!

    Yes that sounds like a good idea. On the single page site I would SEO it correctly, publish your company contact details in prominant places and also link to your main company website for more information. That way you're getting the traffic (hopefully), getting the visitor to get in touch...

    2nd website addresses... confused!
