    Selling packaged groceries as part of Holiday Accommodation Business

    Thanks MBE. We do provide a welcome pack and it is factored into the price. Most of our guests tend to stay a week to 10 days, and we have had a quite a few comments that having some essential supplies would be welcome. Most common is booze (although that is definitely not worth the touble)...

    Whose business is busy and who is not ?

    Our holiday letting is doing OK... August pretty well booked out, but July has been mainly last minute bookings. There's a couple in Septembert and October, but that is normal for this time of year. Over COVID, we did rent one cottage out as a normal letting, but knew the tenants and they were...

    Hi, We run a small AirBnB on site, in a village that has a pub, but no convenience store for a couple of miles. We were thinking of offering guests the ability to purhcase packaged groceries (just the basics) that we would purchase from, say Bookers, or more likley the local supermarket. It is...

    Process Improvement & Culture

    As a consultancy (and consultant/s) you wil lhave to up your written communication skills.. Even startups usually demand professional consultancies (and consultants). I think, even if you target startups, you have to target a niche. Anyone can advise on the mechanics of a startup, but what are...

    Business ownership

    See above for the answers, but so what if it the business is goingt to be owned by him? It sounds like you don't have the capital or the risk profile to take the loan, so without the money, your business is just a pipedream, or you have to go to some other investor/shark to get it off the...

    Finding a new Lawyer

    If you have use the firm for 30 years, it may be worth chatting to the managing partners and let them know what is goingon (unless of course, the new lawyer is a managing partner). Unless you are small fry in their firm, they will probably want to keep a long standing client. Failing that...

    wanting an advice from you guys ! thanks

    You agree with them that when things are ready, a company will be created with you having a 50% shareholding. Presumably, this was the company to operate the business using your software and not to sell donuts at the foreshore on a winter's day. Then they go and set up a company without you...

    Beneficiarly Liability in Trusts

    The trust doc has a general indemnity for other beneficiaries and the trustee if the vehicle is operated outside the constraints imposed by insurance is as about as close as I can find in terms of liability. This may be encorceable to the personal assets of whoever was at fault, but if their...

    Beneficiarly Liability in Trusts

    Hi, I am looking at purchasing a share of and expensive vehicle (not a luxury vehicle) that I can use when needed - sometimes for personal use but more often than not - for business use. As it will be used maximum twice/month for no more than an overnight trip, I can't justify spending c. £150K...

    Expenses

    You're quite correct - the employee with the longer commute does not get additional pay. So say it costs them £10/day to commute and the employee with a shorter commute £1/day to commute, assuming the same salary,the longer commute person would be netting (after commute costs) £9/day less. If...

    Seeking a new AP SYSTEM

    I have just been on Proactis's website and they position themselves at what looks like the high end of procurement/spend management (an area I worked in, alongside with AP, finance, etc many, many years ago). Looking at their integration page, they seem to have a standard integration...

    Expenses

    If you are worried about ink only, then it should be a case of estimating the usage for you and paying them accordingly... unf each employee is likely to have diferent printers with different ink consumption (e.g. some colour printers won't do B&W only).. So the payment suggested above of...

    Pay with PayPal

    Couldn't agree more.. if an onlinestore doesn't take paypay, unless it is uber competitive or the only place that seels the product, I go somewhere else [edit] I should have said, with limited exceptions. Amazon and Expedia come to mind because I used them both frequently (well, for Expedia, up...
