Hi all,
I'm trying to reconcile our Worldpay transactions, but it's giving me some real headaches trying to get everything to tally up.
All of our sales, Monthly Worldpay invoices, and Transaction Invoices have been entered correctly into our accounts package.
However, when I come to...
Hi All,
Im just in the process of setting up a new business, and I'd like to include a really cool & interesting Explainer Video on our website for our pre-launch visitors to be able to see.
(I really like the Kinetic Typography style.)
Has anyone tried using an explainer video? If so...
I was just about to make the same point as Inquisitive Mind above. If your idea is truely unique, it's the patent that could potentially hold (and protect) the value of your idea. If this isn't watertight, then all of the time, money and effort you spend in setting up the business, could all...
I just thought I may as well put my hand up too - working full time and starting up a business on no budget = lots of hard work and late nights.
Still..... you don't get anything for nothing.....no pain, no gain....
[insert any other cliche's you care to mention lol]
I worked 3 years solidly...
Wow, talk about coincidences - having worked for Comet in my late teens / early 20's I thought I'd have a read of this - imagine my surprise when I clicked on the BBC site and saw this:
"Anglo-French electrical goods retailer Kesa ... "
"Kesa said it would invest £50m itself..."
I had to do...
Thanks for the input all. It sounds like most of them offer a kind of money back guarantee (although all still seem to charge a non-refundable listing fee), so I've picked 1 to try. We'll see how it goes and I'll report back if I have any interesting to share. :)
@TotallySport - thx. TBH I did actually have a quick search prior to posting, but unfortunately the search facility on here isn't that great and doesn't seem to support boolean searching so I got a mass of results - but they weren't actually that relevant.
If you know if any really useful...
Hi All,
A couple of years ago I had a great company / brand name in mind for a product for but for various reasons (which I wont bore you with), it wasn't the right time for me to setup a business and the domain names I wanted were in use.
Long story short, the domain names are still taken...
Pretty late to this post but I thought I'd chip in with this....
You could use that to your advantage - I imagine (not having done one yet) that Exhibitions could go either way - you could be so rushed off your feet you don't have time to stop, or they could be absolutely dead (in which case...
Great thread - I'm wondering about doing our 1st exhibition next year so have found all of the above really helpful
One quick question:
Purely our of interest, did they actually offer it to you for free as it was right at the last minute, or was that a result of some top quality blagging? I...
Can we keep the thread on topic please as helpful though some of the response have been, none have actually related to the question in hand.
Just to recap, my question was about whether or not anyone could recommend a prototyping and patenting company. It wasn't about how to protect an idea...
All good responses, and really helpful - thanks all
I've had my first meeting now so I've crossed that hurdle, but it helped put my mind at rest, and I hope this thread may help do the same for others, so thanks all for your input
Thanks Peter, that's a brilliant quote, and has at least put my mind at rest that the memory of what I saw somewhere was correct.
I guess my concern was that I'd not personally have any evidence of actually having met the patent attorney, and therefore that that discussion actually took place...
