    Going from sole trader to Ltd - any advice appreciated

    One problem not mentioned is supplier credit. Suppliers can get spooked by the company change, because they can't sue you personally for the debt any more. This can usually be worked around, but you need to be open with your important suppliers. Some may insist on a directors guarantee for a...

    Loan for Amazon

    Tafa there was a suggestion above that you should write a business plan. Start right now with a cashflow forecast. This is much much more important than porfitability or running out of stock. The concern is with you talking about goods with long lead times, will 20k be enough? Cash cash cash

    Time to change or call it quits?

    Staff Training

    It' no fun working somewhere you are not happy, you have my sympathy. How about you tell the guy that the owner is not happy he is missing the training and record his reaction. Will the owner know he has missed the training immediately? If not write him a memo saying why he missed it and send...

    Illegal or irregular?

    It may also be in violation of his contract with the governing body. I agree with the resolver it depends if he is clear it is an unofficial site. If the board are OK with it (or wont come out against it) then who would challenge it anyway? If you are a board member you could raise it with the...
