    Need for a director service contract

    As 100% shareholder, sole director, and at the moment sole employee, do I *really* need a directors service contract? I don't mind sorting one out, I was just wondering on the legality of me technically being an employee but not having anything at all in writing.

    Offering shares in ltd company

    One way round it *might* be to hold discussions about investing in a film, and then when you've got everyone involved in the project who wants to be, have a meeting and decide at that meeting that you'll pursue the project by way of creating a limited company in which people will invest their...

    Offering shares in ltd company

    What you're describing is an Initial Public Offering. You'd need a plc for that, not a ltd company. Rules for plc's are much more onerous. Remember that once you've issued shares, most companies have a provision for pre-emptive rights so you'd have to offer your existing shareholders the...

    What % of profit should I be asking for?

    I'm amazed you appear to have got quite a way down the line and not actually contractually agreed how much you'll be getting from it.

    Increasing Sales

    Hence my last sentence. I'm sure you are indeed a guru in much the same way that I am an expert in dragging other people's businesses out of the cack but I am rubbish at running my own - like it or not ;)

    Wholesaler / Distributor advice for trade computer consumables

    I used to have an account with Ingram Micro. I quickly worked out that it was nigh on impossible to make money by reselling their stuff on the internet, and that it was only good for the type of company who sold "in person" to clients that they had a good relationship with (at least this was my...

    Increasing Sales

    WHat an entertaining thread. Kelly - do you have a card for "Congratulations on your ignorance of car branding" ? I'll send one to the poster who said "Aston Martin Cabriolet" when *everyone* knows that the name given to an AM convertible is "Volante". I think he also spelt Porsche wrong...

    Google Adwords

    Some interesting viewpoints, and given I am in a marketplace where the product is completely generic I will leave adwords to one side until I have the tim to implement the "extras" that can differentiate the site from others who sell exactly the same thing.

    Young lad looking for advice on a Ltd company idea, Please help out

    "Me I would make the girlfiend a shareholder and she could claim up to £37400 in dividends too there would be no tax to pay." 1. Dividends are post-corporation tax distributions are they not? 2. £37k - I am sure the taxman has some mechanic for getting his hands on part of that! Aren't...

    Joomla work needed!

    Hiya I absolutely hate the layouts used by Joomla when you select Category List or Section for a menu item. They need to look far more professional but I lack the HTML skills to get them to where I want. So - a job for any UKBF members who are au fait with Joomla - please PM me to discuss quotes!

    Choosing an Online Payment Processor

    I went with HSBC in the end, there were cheaper alternatives out there but I felt more secure going with the people I bank with. £20 a month isn't bad I guess, and the rates I got as a complete start-up were not a rip-off (although I did use the alternatives as a bargaining tool!)

    Google Adwords

    Has anyone got any good experiences of using it? The costs frighten me half to death, lots of people clicking for the hell of it cos they don't care someone's paying for it! Some of the CPC charges I am being faced with would be enough to wipe out any profit on a fair percentage of my sales! I...
