    Home business & capital gains

    Can't she just remove the ovens before she moves out, put it back to how it was previously, and just consider the conservatory as part of the house? No idea why she'd have to declare it being separate. I started off a catering business from my garage (converted it out, had the council to give me...

    My home as someone else's registered office address

    That is certainly not my understanding. A ltd co credit reference has nothing to do with your personal credit file unless you default under a personal guarantee. https://www.businessrescueexpert.co.uk/can-company-liquidation-affect-my-personal-credit-rating/ If it appears under your personal...

    How do you verify if someone is registered as self employed?

    I guess it depends on why.... Why does it matter, and what will verification of their self employed status open up as a next step?

    Seeking a new AP SYSTEM

    Worked with Proactis for a national association of sport located in northwest london, however on the planning/forecasting side using Proactis integration; can't help with this specific topic but should you ever be looking for a robust planning/forecasting system in future I can definitely help...

    Bulb Energy

    I find bashing # can sometimes get you through to an operator quickly. I must admit though, generally I must've been lucky as during this lockdown, despite the hold voiceover telling me the wait will be over 15-20 mins I've usually gotten through within about 2 or 3.

    @Jass T - I'd suggest you stop digging yourself a hole as I don't think anyone is going to sympathise here. Pop some headphones in, phone in your pocket, crack on with your property maintenance work - line it up when you're doing items which aren't particularly difficult to have headphones in...

    I genuinely love how no-nonsense this forum generally is with people.

    Graphic Design as a Career

    Thanks guys I appreciate the advice. @The Byre do you know how best she might go about obtaining something like those without any prior direct experience? As we know the whole online applications world is a nightmare, and I've suggest she "get on her bike" so to speak and pick the phone up and...

    Graphic Design as a Career

    Posting on behalf of my partner, she's currently an out of work graphic designer and has suffered at the hands of COVID. She's interested in potentially pivoting careers, but doesn't really know where to go and where to start. Her ideal is to stay in graphics design, but the job security seems...

    What is wrong with this idea?

    Instead of charging £20 per property if you approached it like a "Jacks Flight Club" model and did either £20 a month with say 20 property credits or something, and genuinely had a swathe of properties at genuinely below market value prices I could see you shifting a few subs. The reality is...

    There's got to be a more efficient system than what I have...

    I think it was probably @TopSpek that bandied about the sums of between £5k and £15k, and agreed, I don't understand how without looking at the actual spec needed in more detail, current architecture how such a wide ranging sum can be given. This for me is where as a small business owner I'd...

    There's got to be a more efficient system than what I have...

    Just to try and provide some balance; those systems are not cheap by any stretch, and consultancy work can easily run into multiples of 4 figures a day for simple work... I know because I work with some of those "largest companies" and a common theme seems to be "those SAP monkeys can't get my...

    Becoming an accountant

    As someone who went down this exact route you need to have a think about what you actually want to be doing day to day for grunt work. I was studying toward my CIMA (my career direction has diverted quite substantially since and as a result there are more immediately relevant qualifications I'd...
