    Sole Trader vs LTD for Future Accounting

    Thank you for this detailed answer. Would I still need business insurance from a sole trader aspect in this case? I prematurely signed up. Would I need to get an accountant? I don't think I do but wanted to double check

    What's my best next step?

    Hey @Ozzy & @BusterBloodvessel yes definitely, they are willing to help and spread the word, however for me I wanted to start those potential conversations as early as possible while not wait until the current project is done. So hoping to have something in the pipeline

    What's my best next step?

    Hey everyone, So not too long ago I posted on here asking how to approach the market with my automation services. (For some reason I cannot link the post) Currently I am helping a friend free of charge who owns a marketing agency streamlining her internal operations by creating an onboarding...

    Should I specialize/niche down as soon as possible as a start-up?

    You are right, thank you I definitely been focusing mainly on the automation aspect rather than the providing solution so need to really shift my mindset into being a problem solver and knowing how to market it I have a lot to think about for sure

    Should I specialize/niche down as soon as possible as a start-up?

    Yes quite tricky but thank you, yes that's definitely one of the ways I'd like to show some awareness

    Should I specialize/niche down as soon as possible as a start-up?

    Should I specialize/niche down as soon as possible as a start-up?

    The product is not a plugin per se, it's more of a service In terms of demos I wanted to start by showing use cases eg: Track your inventory with Airtable + Monday Or I guess if I need to focus on benefits Track all your inventory in less than 2 hours per day

    Should I specialize/niche down as soon as possible as a start-up?

    Currently would work on a hourly/daily rate, which will cover the initial implementation setup + monthly support (optional)

    Should I specialize/niche down as soon as possible as a start-up?

    Okay so for basic example I need to focus on ecommerce retail brands built on wordpress with over 100SKUs making 20k a month that want to save time on their stock management processes Would this the type of narrow select I need to target? If so how would my marketing go about this?
