    Vat Inspection timing

    It is solvent, I was thinking I would wait until after the inspection, would it have any effect on things if I started it before? As for the travel expenses, although this is likely what will happen, it just seems off that I have to spend money and claim expenses to have a VAT inspection on the...

    Vat Inspection timing

    Hi, Ok...so I've been looking at winding down a business by the end of the year and was planning on starting the process in the next month or so. However, just to throw a spanner in the works, HMRC have contacted me for a first time VAT Inspection, the timing of which couldn't be any better as...

    4.2k draw down loans with iwoca and cap on tap can't pay

    A lot of these companies count on scare tactics and the hope that people don't know the law. Write/call them explaining your situation and arrange a realistic monthly repayment plan, asking them to freeze interest and charges (make sure you have everything in writing once agreed). They may ask...

    Passive Incomes - What Is Yours?

    I earn £300-£1000 off affiliate websites, they took a lot of work to set up initially but now I hardly touch them (check once a month to make sure they are running ok).

    Contacted by ex-employer

    They are hoping to take advantage of you, don't waste time with them, send them a polite reply stating you can do the job and the cost (think higher rather than lower) and then leave it. If they want your services they'll soon be back, else don't waste any more time on it.

    Do you have a Logo?

    A logo on it's own isn't an essential part of a small business and not a priority, but is worth considering when developing the brand further down line depending on what industry the business is in.

    BNI is it worth it

    Maybe it was just the group, however we did as company visit four different groups and found the same issues with each of them- the referrals system, no proper company vetting, hard sell techniques from scripts, the aren't we great mentality and lack of flexibility. We also attended three...

    BNI is it worth it

    Having attended BNI for six months I can see how it can work for small local businesses, particularly trades. The biggest issue we had with them is that for all their claims of being a professional outfit, they're not, it's quite amateurish in they way it is run. Fortunately we managed to leave...

    Product Packaging

    And how many of these entries did a business consultation, researched target market perception, competition analysis, concept designs, revisions etc? I'm guessing none. Packaging design isn't simply a case of that fits and looks pretty, there are many factors to consider.

    Our rights?

    Question: This is a long story, but I'll cut it very short: Regarding a website we designed. (coding/graphics/photography) No written contract, no official verbal agreement, nothing in writing or email, no handover contract, we're hosting it as well. Just to clear up, who owns the copyright...

    Someone on Facebook claims he works for me.

    We have the same problem, people passing off our work as their own, not a lot you can do, we just ignore it and get on with our own business

    MAC Email Probelms

    Thanks guys, I'll forward this thread on to them to take look, hopefully they'll get it sorted. Oh and it's IMAP, my inclination is something they're setting up wrong, but as you many of you know...the client would never admit to that and it can only be my fault.

    MAC Email Probelms

    Hi, wonder if anyone can help. I've got a client who can't get an email address to send, but it will receive, she's owns a MAC on Sky Broadband. I've tested the email on MAC and PC (not on her network), both work fine, and she says that she's spoken to Apple and everything is set up as it...
