    Free Health and safety resources – ideas?

    Hello! I'm creating a bunch of free health and safety resources and wondered if there is anything the UKBF community are looking out for? Most recently I've put together an interactive 'accident report' template. This can either be filled in digitally with a PDF editor, or just printed out and...

    Presenting at an exhibition –Any tips?

    Hello! I have been invited to give a presentation at a B2B conference/exhibition in April. I don't hate public speaking, but it'll certainly be a step up for me, as these sort of gigs normally go to our CEO. So, my main question is, does anyone have any general tips or advice? Thanks in advance!

    The mind boggles!…

    First of all, I like your honesty. You've got a job you're happy with, but you'd like a bit of extra cash, so you're looking to do something extra. The conversation on this thread has got a bit toxic, so it's good to start there. I guess one thing to ask is, do you have any particular skills...

    Vegetarian dog treats?

    Can't help you on the legality, but I think I've heard of some veggie/vegan D2C dog food companies out there. I imagine, a lot like with humans, as long as the animal is getting a wide range of proteins, vitamins, etc., a plant based diet is a good, low-carbon and (theoretically) affordable...

    We offer unlimited PTO. Anyone else have experience of this?

    Yeh, it makes sense. I think that's why people use the phrase 'annual leave' –as well as sounding more professional than holiday, it implies that it's something you're entitled to. It's harder to argue. I certainly support people taking no-questions-asked last minute holiday, so long as it...

    We offer unlimited PTO. Anyone else have experience of this?

    A negative I've heard of (particularly in Silicon Valley-type businesses) is people with 'unlimited holiday' often take, essentially, no holiday. Basically, If people feel constantly under pressure from their job (as many do) there never seems a good time to take the time off. Having a set...

    Research for article - Biggest problems of ecommerce operations

    Just a thought... If you're coming up with ideas, maybe go to the Shopify App Store and see what are the most popular ecommerce plugins are. If lots of people on an ecommerce platform have downloaded a certain plugin, you can imagine the problem it solves is pretty common. (Not super scientific...

    Dot app domains

    This is a good point. Also it often depends whether that dotcom url is active or just parked (as so many, annoyingly, are)

    Dot app domains

    If you're in the app/tech sector, I think it makes sense in order to gain a shorter (and more universal) top level domain. On the other hand, I'm not sure how conscious the general public is of these slightly newer TLDs. Certainly tech-savvier people will be more used to seeing .app, .ie and...

    Share of startup business

    As people here have said, get a professional Shareholders Agreement knocked up. If they're truly interested in giving you an equal share, the legal team might do something like create 100,000 shares and divvy that up in equal parts. The SHA may also describe what is expected from each...

    Getting users on our website

    I've just realised that a major point of difference here is that I'm referring to B2B, rather than to B2C. Different campaigns will work differently for different companies but I'm in full agreement that, for a lot of B2C, social media content is king. There are products where written articles...

    proposed four-day week - extra 25% inflation?

    I mean, the invention of the eight hour, five day work week is relatively new. I presume that there were a lot of arguments at the time that, in effect, the companies could not afford it. Turns out they could. Same goes for maternity, annual leave, etc. People have been talking about a four day...

    Getting users on our website

    You're not wrong, ofcourse. However, despite my lack of knowledge on, say, video content, I can't imagine that it provides the same SEO benefits, right? We've done a bit of video, a bit of social, etc., etc... And while it all has its uses, I think in terms of driving more traffic, written...

    Getting users on our website

    I'm gonna give the same advice I always give: blogs. Say you want to market the meeting software mentioned above, a relevant, keyword-heavy article that helps people such as 'how to make a good presentation' or 'how to get the most out of meetings' would be perfect. I've just been looking at...
