    New business

    This really is a no go-er I'm afraid particularly from council property or any home really. You would be the distributor which means you would need a premises license to sell to general public even if they are not coming to your premises, which you would not get. You would need a Compounders...

    Need Advice on How to grow my Small business

    My initial thoughts are do you have any intention of moving from your flat? If so you could pay the £400 per month towards a mortgage and perhaps get your own garage rather than pay a landlord ...

    Liquidation of my pub, I have a few questions - could someone please help?

    From the above thread you will certainly be wiser, but when dealing with a pub co lease you will definitely need good, professional advice and need to explain all that has happened, for you to be given the correct help. Reassigning a lease at the best of times with a pub co is not easy, and...

    Requirements for starting a compound gin brand

    Hi Talkstick, may I say before going any further with this, I hope you have funds available for a marketing and advertising budget? Your product will join a very flooded market. Have you thought about your route to market, which is critical and costly. I wish you luck with this...

    Preparing for the worst

    Yes I totally understand as my son in law does this in Australia and currently sitting last exams so that he can come off the tools. He is asleep most nights by 8.30, very tiring and dangerous occupation ...

    Preparing for the worst

    You mentioned tree work. The chap that cuts mine said he is booked for the next three months and beyond, although he is a qualified arborist.

    Are Tattoo's More Accepted Now?

    I don't like them, but definitely not so much against them as I used to be. I think if I had ever won a medal at the Olympic games I would show it off with a tattoo, so double standard maybe. My other half (now passed away) used to say that tattoos are great value, as you get older they grow in...

    Missed top selling season - What now?

    No idea what your product is, but is it really seasonal? I ask as Covid seems to have said goodbye to seasons in this country. We supply alcohol and have never been busier, with people sitting with there coats on, eating meals in the rain with an umbrella! There will also be hundreds of...

    Day Planners

    I have gone back to a manual day to day diary, fully open in front of me on my desk for work related stuff and anything crucial on a phone reminder alert. Its not perfect but seems to be better than computer lists that I forget to look at! I purchased it just last week from The Works £1...

    To split or not to split, that is the question.

    Have you asked him, where he would like to be or just assumed? Would he want to take on the responsibilities of directorship. Would he really expect 50%? You are in for £5K now, but further down the line, if you are planning to expand £5K will not be the only outlay. I think a chat with him...

    And now...Let's block the Suez

    Apparently they are considering taking off containers! I fear a disaster. I cannot even cope with my seedlings that have been repotted and after to 'carefully' moving them I haven't got a clue which are sweet peppers, normal or chillis! They just all look the same:) Looks like i will have to...

    FSB Vs Chamber of Commerce

    RSC I used to represent the FSB. Perhaps bias, but i believe that for value you cannot go wrong. There is a wealth of information, and from what you have said the legal and HR areas will more than pay for the subscription. Use it like an insurance policy. The legal section helped me twice...

    Who runs a pub on hear then?

    My best advice is don't do it if you are thinking of taking a tenancy or lease. If management different. Think of another trade. There are far too many reasons to list why it's not a good idea...
