    I'm looking to start a charity. Anyone know of a consultant/advisor who can help?

    Thank you, this is a good lead. I have come across his website in the past, and will sign up and see what they can offer.

    I'm looking to start a charity. Anyone know of a consultant/advisor who can help?

    My other company makes profits I would like to donate to a charity I set up. The charity will of course be non profit.

    I'm looking to start a charity. Anyone know of a consultant/advisor who can help?

    Maybe my keywords are wrong, but searching isn't yielding many results. They all seem to be consultants around fundraising etc. What I want to do is fund environmental projects abroad by donating company profits from my other company. I want to consult about legal structures, processes and how...

    $6500 to import a 40’ container!

    Yes, but I came here straight from another thread complaining that his shipment was months late and asking what recourse to take. It's all messed up right now, rail included.

    Avoiding tariff rates when importing ?

    If country B does not impose tariffs on that category, and the UK does not impose them for that country, then it would work. You'd need to really do the maths though, how would this impact your shipping, insurance and lead times? The goods could not simply transit in country B, they would need...

    Alibaba Bulk Shipment around 30 days late. Where do I stand.

    I can only agree with the above. Everything is unbelievably slow at the moment. I waited almost 3 months for a package to be cleared to leave Australia, and I waited 2 months for a package from UK to Asia. Things are not working as they used to at the moment for a number of reasons.

    Delivering an educational service in the USA

    I have a contract with an american university, to provide online training and look over an online programme that they run. It is different to your situation, because I am not selling directly to the public, but I'm sure our struggles will overlap. You will not believe the number of IRS forms I...

    Foreign Representative Office of a UK Ltd

    I cant speak to the formalities of setting up a representative office on the UK side. I am fairly confident it will be easy from a UK perspective. It's China that will cause you a headache. Use an agency to do this for you, and be sure to also hire your own independent lawyer to oversee...

    How to account for expenses in limited company

    I use my 'cash on hand' account for this. I upload receipts as expenses to COH, which ends up in the red each month. I then transfer that money to myself, and do an adjustment of the money from the main company account to the COH account.

    Registered office services guidance on mail forwarding

    I use 'yourcompanyformations' - seperate to the registered office and directors service address, which is a nominal annual fee, I pay around £90 for the ability to use their address as my trading address. This includes mail forwarding at a fee. I have requested that this is emailed to me...

    A great lead, thank you!

    Can anyone give me an insight into the garden center market?

    Thanks Mark, I am in a blessed position where I could pay on delivery to my facility here, and effectively export to myself through a sea freight company, eliminating what I understand to be the trade gap. I could afford to register an ltd, design some packaging and throw up a website as a punt...

    Putting Personal Money Into Business - Best Way?

    I did a directors loan to start my business. It has to be the easiest way. Transferred it in, and didn't worry about it until time to repay. My accounting software let me label it as a directors loan. When the bank account was healthy I simply transferred it out, and notified my accountant, who...

    Is it worth joining a network business? Is this a scam?

    I see 'network marketing' gigs as a game, not a business. People (winners) can be successful and make a lot of money. They rely on these people to stand up and recruit more players. If it is a well designed game, the many losers feel as if they were not good enough, too lazy or generally did...

    Customer wants compensation

    I've had several greenhouses in my time, you sometimes find the clips have sprung out and are lying on the ground, but I have never seen one break, so I agree with the faulty batch theory. If the only loss he has suffered is the breaking clips, then all he should expect compensating for is the...
