    Working from home. Should businesses pay energy bills?

    I agree, and any sensible employer will make some kind of adjustment for those WFH, however the larger the employer, the harder it is.

    Working from home. Should businesses pay energy bills?

    would he do that in the office? The regulations regarding employee welfare don't end when the employee works from home. I am waiting for the ambulance chasers to start making claims for back pain and the like due to the employer not ensuring the workplace was suitable.

    Working from home. Should businesses pay energy bills?

    We pay around £300 a month on energy and that's with a super efficient boiler and a wood burner! Many are not aware that they can actually claim an allowance for working from home for this very reason.

    Payments to volunteers

    I'd say that an amount as small as that would be covered simply as 'out of pocket expenses' without receipt. you should get a constitution really to protect yourselves and keep it all above board. Having a written constitution also makes it possible to get funding if needed. You can grab...

    How to get started with marketing for a single person business

    B2C is the easier of the two and Facebook is probably your friend here. Marketing is about: - Right message Right person Right time I know it's simplistic but find where potential clients hang out and go there. Offer a trial period, maybe create a referral payment system (easy enough to do)...

    How to price printing/scanning service

    I hate to burst your bubble but it works if done right and marketed to the right people. This isn't an upsell at all. it's a numbers game, and despite what you claim (because it didn't work for your B2B business), it works amazingly well for B2C. In your case, the general public were coming...

    Marketing strategy for new start private Dental Practice in London (Instagram vs Google ads)

    Ideally then run a few competitions to build your following, insta is great but it also is covered by the Facebook ethos of no before and after images as they class it as body shaming?

    Marketing strategy for new start private Dental Practice in London (Instagram vs Google ads)

    Instagram ads will work wonders. Also you make no mention of Google My Business (now Google Business Pages) this in my experience with cosmetic surgery/ dentists etc is a huge monumental cornerstone. Are you making use of the Google Business pages platform?

    How to price printing/scanning service

    Croeso! personally I'd go for a really small minimum of say £1.50 because as you say, it is bringing in business. You could even look at handing out leaflets etc, or at the very least make sure your receipt is accompanied or built in to your website, email, phone number.

    Bounce back loan for Ltd Co

    Contact the bank and tell them the company is no longer trading (as per Spongebob) but importantly tell them to remove your telephone number and deal with things 100% in writing only.

    First campaign and badly chosen keywords

    Having worked for 2 of the biggest names in the industry of 'sex toys' I can assure you it's cut-throat and what you need to be focussing on is lifetime value of customers. Google ads is fine, but it isn't just about the search term, it's about the entire process end to end (customer...

    First campaign and badly chosen keywords

    Neil is a great marketer but is not an SEO, the content on his site isn't written by him, he's a slick marketer/salesman so take it with a pinch of salt really.
