    Retiring from my tuition business- maybe I can ask someone else to do it?

    Thank you. I have for the last 2 years filed all the lesson plans each week for my Year 5 group lessons, with the intention of passing the business on to one of my sons- but they have no wish to do it :-)...so perhaps those files will be useful in this way as you suggest!

    Retiring from my tuition business- maybe I can ask someone else to do it?

    I thought it might be based on the business annual income?

    Retiring from my tuition business- maybe I can ask someone else to do it?

    That's helpful... How do you ascertain what to sell it for- is there a formula for that? :-)

    I wouldn't want to start employing people...but I guess she could work freelance

    I do go on a long holiday each year and it still runs perfectly. It is a pukka business that's the point!

    Retiring from my tuition business- maybe I can ask someone else to do it?

    Hello. I started doing academic tuition with children 30 years ago. I have built up a good name for my business. I teach small groups and the returns are good: my fees are high and I can charge top fees because I have a good reputation, my pupils have great 11+ results, despite not all...

    Business Plan template

    Hi. My son is just starting a small business after 20 years working for the local authority. He needs a business plan for himself of course, but needs it quickly also for he has a meeting with the DHSS on Tuesday and they need to see he has a good business plan so they will agree he is a...

    What to do when a reviewer does not return a product

    As I said I would be calling to talk to him. Hopefully he will be there. It is his address/phone number. I think I would talk to the father if not, because it is he who met my husband when he took the item there. It's probably reasonable to ask for property if it is at that address and you...

    What to do when a reviewer does not return a product

    Yep of course you are right. But as this is his phone number and this is his address for business, it is reasonable to phone to ask for it back, And if he is not there to say we have the paperwork to show them that it must be returned on our demand. My husband met his Dad on a couple of...

    What to do when a reviewer does not return a product

    Hi. My way is your way. This is the second week without permission. He had it 5 months and then the review was written. Then 2 weeks ago we asked for it back. We will be taking action on Monday if he does not comply. I came on here to work it out; to talk to someone about it. Hear your views...

    What to do when a reviewer does not return a product

    If he does bad mouth that is important. As someone said earlier- he will bury you on facebook. Reputation is pretty important! According to the small claims courts, you need to show that you have attempted to mediate and given someone the chance to do what you ask; to do the right thing. Going...

    What to do when a reviewer does not return a product

    Yes but I already said I felt he should have some renumeration for his work. So I backtrack, when/if we get the product back? That's not very honest behaviour. I'd like to drive the 4 hour round trip to his house if it would have a chance of being a fruitful effort. We have the paper saying it...

    What to do when a reviewer does not return a product

    Hi The Byre, I understand what you are saying! We have had 'proper' reviews from magazines also. He is not a random bloke with a blog. But I do agree we made a mistake. He is young and is proving to be delinquent when he does not get what he wants. He has an online review magazine and reviews...
