    CRM Sales + Customer Database needed

    If you're starting small and aiming to grow in size, I'd recommend FileMaker. Low entry cost, quick to develop and it's very easy to update/modify the system in future as the business grows. Sounds like you have a good idea of what you want and by the time the requirement is nailed down it's...

    Car hire booking software

    We could write you a simple database for this... you fill in the fields, press "go" and it will spit out the PDF. Once you've got the details in you'd be able to spit out reports/spreadsheets showing all your bookings over a period to help with the accounts. You could even make it store scanned...

    i want to make a app

    We write iPhone/iPad apps as well as "traditional" PC-based software for running small businesses. The sort of project you're talking about needs a budget of £500 minimum. It's the sort of thing you could start small though and then bolt on new features in later versions if they become...

    Selling alcohol

    Yes, you may need your premises to be designated a "bonded warehouse" with a requirement to make quarterly reports to HM Customs. James

    Experiences with VoIP providers

    Hmmm, we have the same problem with Gradwell. We're in the Pure Offices building in Swindon, where there is a very good and not-at-all-bumpkin-like internet line. The management of the building are going to be ditching Gradwell in the next couple of months. James

    Which Backup Solution to Recommend/Sell?

    Roxio Retrospect all the way. I've been using it since 1992 and it's rock-solid. You might hear some bad writeups of 8.0 - which was woeful and released before it was finished - but in practice, it is total genius. PM me if you want to discuss more. James

    Search for decent backup software

    My two-pence worth... ...when considering backup software think about the restore as well as the backup. There's bucketloads of software out there that would meet all of your requirements, and YES it does take a faithful copy of your data. But very often the routines to go back the other way...

    Question before I issue a statutory demand

    The report says: Total Fixed Assets £118,584 Total Assets £846,955 Total Current Assets £728,371 Total Current Liabilities £563,066 Net Current Assets £165,305 Long Term Debt £27,506 but that was for year ended 2008 and I suspect things have got worse not better. I believe they have a 10-year...

    Question before I issue a statutory demand

    What is required to prove that? Logic would suggest to me that since a CCJ results in an order to pay, anyone with an unsatisfied CCJ is insolvent by definition? Therefore if they are still trading now, and have not paid their CCJs, they are knowingly trading insolvent? They're in a worse...

    Question before I issue a statutory demand

    Ah, yes, it was in Northampton :-) so maybe my conclusion doesn't hold water. The debt is several thousand. The previous CCJs are all much smaller. They are all on the credit report but none of them is listed as closed or satisfied. What does "closed" mean? I am not for a moment expecting...

    Question before I issue a statutory demand

    Brilliant advice, thanks very much all. I've checked out the creditworthiness of the company, surprise surprise it says "maximum risk" and they are in the 1% of companies most likely to fail. They were much lower risk when we started trading with them! I can see from the credit report that...

    Question before I issue a statutory demand

    We have a persistent non-payer and having chased invoices repeatedly and written letters demanding settlement we are about to serve them with a statutory demand. We ARE prepared to see the demand through to winding-up. Customer is a slippery fish and I fully expect them to attempt get the SD...
