    Lack of cheap units for start up businesses?

    Sadly it's not just a case of shifting the junk from the garage. Environmental health want washing facilities and for the floor, walls and ceiling to be 'food friendly ' as in tiled or hygiene coated etc It also means I have no way to get to the garden without going through the house if I...

    Lack of cheap units for start up businesses?

    Exactly. It's as though they want the Amazons of this world to move in on a 100 year lease and pay top money. I know it's easy to say "start your business from home" but in some instances it isn't that simple. For example I am in the throws of setting up a food related business and my home...

    Lack of cheap units for start up businesses?

    One thing I have noticed is the shortage of low cost start up units / retail space for new businesses. In the first year of business the cost of premises can be quite substantial especially for a new business that may be on a low budget. One thing that strikes me is the number of empty retail or...

    Should a business have the right to choose who they do businees with?

    The bakers opinion is relevant if it goes against his beliefs and subsequently his conscience. It would be the same if a muslim baker refused to bake a cake with a christian message. The only reason this has gone to court and become such a big issue is because of the gay rights activists. By the...
