    Facebook Business Page - Linking to Messenger

    Hi All, I am hoping some FB gurus can point me in the right direction, as I'm pulling my hair out! I'm quite late to FB (I know) and have always avoided going on social media. In the past my Virtual Assistant helped me set up a personal FB account and a Business Page (as you need a Personal...

    Lawyer required!

    Hello All, Happy Easter - hope you all had a good one! :) Just a quick one - I have some questions I would like to speak to a lawyer about regarding intellectual property, staff contract, and client personal injury (I know they're totally different specialisms), but could someone recommend me...

    Planning Permission for a New Business

    Oh in answer to your question about making an offer pending planning permission - it does happen and I know people who have been successful. It all depends on the deal you strike with the landlord.

    Planning Permission for a New Business

    Unfortunately this is the conundrum many prospective lessees face when it comes to change of use classification. Applying for change of use can be long and costly process - we are talking months here, and if unsuccessful you could lose out on £££. How long is the lease? If it is a long lease...

    Wordpress - yay or nay?

    Hi All! In the past I have always used a graphic designer to design my website, and code separately on HTML. I understand it's the more expensive route, however the benefits are that I can just get someone to do the leg work, freeing up my time to focus on the business. My friend has...

    Advice please on approaching retailers.

    Firstly - congratulations for getting this far! Secondly, I absolutely LOVE what you are doing (and will actually buy some teas from you!). Wellbeing is such a huge subject at the moment and, according to my PR sources, will only get bigger (think coconut water). Have you tried approaching...

    Businesses like Graze?

    I think companies like Abel and Cole, Hello Fresh, Riverford etc will be heavy on the logistics, and thus require massive capital investment upfront. It's also a bit of a double-edged sword - the London cosmopolitan set who are working professionals yet care for their wellbeing are their target...

    What is a lease premium for on a commercial property lease?

    Premium and goodwill are completely different, but sometimes can get jumbled up. In it's simplest form - premium is the value of the commercial lease in monetary terms (which can include goodwill), and goodwill is the value of the business (I know there is a better explanation!).

    What is a lease premium for on a commercial property lease?

    A premium could be applied for a number of reasons - if the property is in a desirable area, the rent is below market value, if there is any goodwill attached, etc. For example, if the lease is sold as an ongoing concern, then there will be value attached to the business and the premium will...

    Please be honest....

    *Phew* I thought it was just me! TBH, my business has been up and running for a while now, and I am in the fortunate position to only work 2-3 hrs per day. I know the business could be more successful - if I put in the hours. But right now, I have no desire to stretch myself. When I was working...

    Please be honest....

    ... Have you ever lost your mojo? What I mean is this - despite your initial enthusiasm about your business idea, executing it, running it, and making it a success... Have you ever have a bout of work flu, and just thought "today I can't be bothered"? And that one day turns into two days, and...

    Web copyright infringement

    I'm sure this topic has been covered a million times before... but I was hoping to hear from members who have successfully had an offending website removed via DMCA take down notices (either by the offender's ISP or web host). So, I've been a bit out of the loop in terms of my online marketing...

    Property Investors HELP

    I was in a similar predicament with a rental property that I needed to sell quickly. I offered my tenants an incentive to vacate by way of paying the difference on another rental property in a more desirable area. If your rent is £500 per month, ask them to look for something around the £600...
