    For anyone who is waiting, seems like Starling just went live with their application process for existing Business Banking customers.

    Bounce back loan

    Certainly not something I would have asked. If you've not made any turnover & do not have a viable business that has been actually affected by covid-19 (independantly of how it has affected you personally) I would strongly caution you to refrain from applying for the "support" that is being...

    Domain registers

    Precisely, love the dig about masking their own inefficiency, agree entirely. Even on records with short TTL the only real hold up for much larger hosts is the imposed delays. I work with several giants that have 5 minute runs for a DNS push to be sent out to the nameservers, simply because...

    Bounce back loan

    I could be entirely wrong here but my understanding is that so long as you were trading before March 1st you're eligble. the guidance i've seen so far says that if you didn't have a complete year in 2019 / didn't start up. Estimate your T/O forwards based on current. Be careful not to...

    Bounce back loan

    Thanks kindly, we're all in this together, we're all being pushed to find new ways to improve process' & our offerings. I believe the majority of us might well be building a fantastic future for our country. The "idiots" will have real trouble & I hope that in a years time, the hammer comes...

    Bounce back loan

    Hi! I love that in our industry we can chat & reach out to eachother, more competition pushes the industry forwards, right? I probably shouldn't be expressing my opinions under the brand name here but I'm not afraid of the consequences of doing so. We were seeing huge growth in South East Asia...

    Bounce back loan

    This is a rant that I will be sure to regret later: We meet all of the requirements to borrow money under BBLS & could not furlough our staff due to actually needing them to work. Before BBLS was announced we were desperate, not having a rateable property we were excluded from the "gift" that...

    Tracking Domain Owner

    Yes, exactly. For UK Hosts / Registrars depending on how you've set your system up to operate within GDPR, if your client is opted in for relevant emails, open up a support ticket with the host / registrar and ask them to forward your information on to their client, In many cases they will &...

    Bounce back loan

    We use transferwise mated with stripe for the huge saving that it gives to accept international payments in all of our markets. I'm in the same boat as you but I also can't blame the banks. If the government wanted to support us, it would've been easier for them to do it directly, I can't blame...

    How safe are Chinese Trade Legal Contracts ?

    I follow the words of My Office In China on here (Hi, by the way) intently & have never seen anything I disagree with in their posts. I have an office in Shanghai, I am married to a Shanghainese woman & I can speak both Mandarin & Shanghainese, Even with a good understanding of the culture...

    Operating online business in UK

    I will chime in here with my strategy as we operate in several countries. We use Stripe for card payments & Transferwise for banking. we have a local domain name setup in each country & a geo-redirect that forwards users on to the "correct" place for them, the website is typically hosted "in"...

    Handing over control of my website for work to be done

    Correct, I'd personally taken to freelancing since Cv19 & I wouldn't do any major changes to live sites. I personally download a copy, make the changes on a spare domain / local webserver, Show the client & then upload it. Sometimes, it'll be far easier for you to handover access to various...
