    Care Homes and VAT

    Hello, A care home is unable to register for VAT or charge VAT on their services, however do pay full VAT on all goods and services purchased which they're unable to claim back. So my question (obviously) is does anyone in the accounting world know of a loophole/NewCo structure that can...

    I have the crux of the plan including financials etc. to hand. The plan is for the MBO and growth of an existing business I'm involved with. The concept works,, my issue is mainly my lack of experience and confidence in producing the document - I think I'd be happier knowing the plan was...

    Business Plan Services

    Hi, I'm looking for an expert writer/company to develop a business plan designed for VC's for a series of funding. I'm not particularly confident in doing one myself hence the reason to outsource. I've received a few quotes already but can't really determine the quality of the companies, so...

    Harrassment / Abuse over Invoice. Advice please.

    I see your view on it, good to see it from the other perspective. I fully appreciate that we weren't old time mates but the clear impression I was given, along with someone else who was present in the conversation, is that he was offering to do a mock design as a gesture of good will. I wasn't...

    Harrassment / Abuse over Invoice. Advice please.

    I don't want the logo. That's besides the point. I did ask for legal advice because in case you have missed the point I feel a victim of slander against my reputation. He's insulted me via email and tried to damage my reputation to an Anti-Bullying charity. Ignoring him is easy, I did that, but...

    Harrassment / Abuse over Invoice. Advice please.

    I was happy. But I don't have any final proofs of the logo, as I said his company logo is still branded over it for copyright - so I've never actually received any work. I did ignore him, I purposely didn't reply after his third flippant comment because I knew what he was trying to do, so I...

    Harrassment / Abuse over Invoice. Advice please.

    A few months back I went with the CEO of a charity I'm on the board with to a view office space. The landlord of the property, who owns an advertising company that was based upstairs, showed us around. During our meeting we got into discussion about a new company I was a part of, and that...

    Seeking VC / Angel Investment for Care Home operator seeking MBO

    Thanks, I'm not familiar with Xenos' process though and not particularly keen on the idea of paying for a directory if that is how they operate? I recently met with a VC firm in London, although someone/a company more local would naturally be more beneficial. The required investment would be...

    VAT on building work for Care Home

    We've had legal advice, tax advice etc. but any new regulations on VAT is where near enough all of us involved (legal team etc. included) have got conflicting theories. We believe, and according to the accountant that VAT is charged at 5% (it was on a previous development in 2008) however...

    What is the best business book you ever read?

    Pour Your Heart Into It - Howard Schultz (CEO of Starbucks) is one of the most inspiring books I've read. Couldn't believe how good it really was, one of the few books I've read that I couldn't put down. That and Bannatyne's biography is a great read too.
