    Need Business Advisor/Mentor..Please

    Oo ouch! I really wasnt trying to suggest you were. My post was aimed really at any business starting up as you hadn't pointed out where along the line you currently are. I guess you are just frustrated with the mountain you are facing, but really we are only trying to help.

    Need Business Advisor/Mentor..Please

    Hi Poppy I too agree with Movietub etc, I have no doubt that you have a million and one things running round in your head and now that your previous mentor is out of reach you seem to be rather overwhelmed. Dont worry, this is the nature of starting up on your own no matter what the area of...

    The Apprentice = never TPS check!!!

    I have watched The Apprentice since the beginning, and I too agree that now it is far more of a Big Brother style show full of stereotype copycats of previous series. Only good for entertainment factor nowt else. It seems to me that if this is who we have as Britain's future business leaders...

    What can small business owners learn from the demise of Woolworths and MFI?

    Its no great shame that MFI has gone bust. Good job too, they sell utter tat at over inflated prices with a complete lack of good customer service. Their sales staff are so pressured to hit targets that they come across worse than the 80's style double glazing sales man. That sounds harsh I...

    Did you have a business plan?

    At first I was going to tick YES, but then I realised the poll was about having a business plan which I do not have in the usual sense. I have goals to achieve, and a clear view of how the business is intended to grow but no predicted financial numbers. However, of course the intent is to...

    Pimp needed

    HeeHe Noooo NOT THAT KIND.... I am in need of some ideas or creative insight to help revamp my product labels for a more polished and professional feel. The thing is that when I started out I designed my labels using only what I had available at the time. This was all well and good to...

    Anyone know if I can parcel tape that says across it something like "recycled carton

    How about getting an ink stamp with the words 'Recycled Carton' on it? This would save on the cost of having tape pre printed and would be more environmentally friendly too.

    Does anyone know much about barrow space inside shopping centres

    I havent had any experience of the barrows, I have seen them though and would suggest maybe first step would be to aproach the shopping centre management about costs involved before you think any further. Once you know what the cost involved you could then work out whether it would be a viable...
