    I think I could do with help running me, my projects and the business. Are there outsourced management services? Can I employ my own boss?

    Sorry for the long email, tried to give enough info on my situation. But in summary I wondered if there is an outsourced management service or I just employ someone to manage my business and me and my staff and projects for me, so I don't have to anymore and make life easier for me. Maybe they...

    Ok. I’ve never had any of the issue stated or a need for non-apple store apps. But yes if you want a cheap phone or non-approved apps android is ok I suppose.

    New Android Phone June 2022

    Why does it have to be android out of interest? I don’t understand why people by expensive android these days. It used to be because it’s on much cheaper phones than iPhone but these days Samsung sell for similar price don’t they? So why would anyone want android when similar price gets iOS...

    If you quote, it was accepted, then the job was quicker than planned, would you reduce the invoice?

    That’s great everyone thanks a lot. Makes me feel better. About when I take too long on a job... it’s correct in saying I don’t ask for more so it does work both ways.

    If you quote, it was accepted, then the job was quicker than planned, would you reduce the invoice?

    I am trying to generate more money into the business, I have always had good/low prices, but I am always busy with a lot of work to make an average salary because of it! I quoted a job, few hundred pounds based on 8 hours, but when I did it, I did it in half the time I thought I would when I...

    What do people do if your business has not generated enough for the month?

    Thanks for the replies. To make it clear, the business makes profit its just invoices are owed to us, so until they are paid, I dont get paid, so I'm asking about what other people do in this situation. Maybe whatever the majority do would be a good option :) And about "Get more business" oh...

    What do people do if your business has not generated enough for the month?

    Maybe you’ve not done so well one month, or maybe customers haven’t paid yet. So I’m curious what people would usually do. I’ve been running my business for 2 years, I’ve got a few staff I always pay first, and suppliers, and tax, then I’m always last. A few times I’ve not had enough for my...

    Can I back out of an accepted quote by my customer, due to my supplier pulling out?

Its when we went to start and give the go ahead to the suppliers that they came back with cost increases. As it was an...

    Can I back out of an accepted quote by my customer, due to my supplier pulling out?

    Thanks for your replies. I cant put the emails on here, and didn't even want to use snippets of text as its private, so I can see how its difficult to understand fully without seeing it. The only thing I am unsure of is whether we are in a contract as Mikej asked. I asked this question because a...

    Can I back out of an accepted quote by my customer, due to my supplier pulling out?

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone can advise me... I quoted a customer to do some work for them. Part of the work will be outsourced to another company, they knew that. It was not a proper quote document, just an email telling them how much cost the job would be. My customer accepted the quote.. he...
