    buying a business

    Clinton, are you bamboozled by buying a business? Be careful - if you answer no then you are arrogant! For me - I was merely pointing out that I needed clarification on this particular point - not that I knew everything else! I am the first to admit that I couldn't possibly know everything...

    buying a business

    Why doesn't your last comment sound sincere? You can't possibly know the answer to every question when you make your first purchase. Its a shame you can't be a bit more supportive rather than dismissing someone you know nothing about.

    buying a business

    Thanks for replying. I haven't got that far yet. The business I am looking at (a shop) is currently run as a ltd company. I was unclear as to whether in buying the business I should/would have to take on the existing ltd company, start my own or start as sole trader.

    buying a business

    Thanks for the reply. We all have to start somewhere. I have been searching the threads but am getting somewhat bamboozled by the amount of information to wade through!

    buying a business

    If you buy a business that is currently run as a ltd company, are you obligated to continue under that ltd company or is it wound up and the new owner starts another one?

    Building an email list - or not!

    I am looking into growing a business by building an email list of customers, but the younger members of my family are suggesting that email is out of date and claiming that they never use it. A bit of (basic) research on Google suggests that people under 29 are more often using instant messaging...

    Help with what to do next

    Some very good ideas. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I have dipped my toe into social media but I find it very difficult to know how to use it my advantage. I guess I must learn!

    suggestions for a new business name

    I wasn't going to use it - I just appreciate your sense of humour ;) As I have already said - I'm going to go for something which is fairly 'obvious'. Thanks for everyone's input.

    suggestions for a new business name

    I should explain, it is holiday property rentals and holiday home management for Brits with a property in France. I'm sure 'La Frog' was tongue in cheek! o_O I prefer 'Les Property Renteurs', but need something which would convey better the secteur I'm in. Thanks for your help :)

    suggestions for a new business name

    I tend to agree - I'd prefer an English name as my clients will be English. Perhaps it's the sort of business where the name does exactly what it says on the tin? A bit boring though...
