    Donating Services to Charity - Tax Relief?

    My thought process was that the time donated was worth £1000 and therefore it was no different from a cash donation of £1000. I arrived at that idea because if I had done the work for somebody else and donated the money earned, I would get a nice fat deduction (in addition to salary and...

    Donating Services to Charity - Tax Relief?

    We recently did some work for a charity we support, and I was planning to drop them an invoice with a 100% discount - just so that they could see what it would have cost. That got me thinking. I know a cash donation can be written off as a business expense - so can a donation of goods or...

    Vista print - foil cards

    I wouldn't dream of using Vistaprint for our main business cards, but their budget cards are incredibly cheap (especially if you use one of the many special offers kicking around). If you need to hand out lots of cards, the card quality isn't too important, and cost is important, it'd be very...

    Working on a Commission Only Basis: Good or Bad Idea?

    Would you go into business with a well-known celebrity?

    The pro's could include media coverage and the opening of doors which would be closed to mere mortals, but it depends on the person and the business. It's not Jade Goody is it?

    CMS Website template reccomendations

    That's a very spammy method of marketing. Why not promote the main site instead?

    Website cost

    Whilst I understand the tax benefits of accepting payment in class A drugs, the market value of LSD has fallen drastically over the last couple of years. Then again, the way the pound is going, you may be onto something!

    Can you purchase VOIP number

    By its very definition, SPAM is unsolicited. This was clearly solicited and so is obviously not SPAM...
