    Our employees predominantly work from home, but we have a town centre office for them to use as needed. In their contract, this is listed as their place of work. What's the deal with paying mileage expenses for visiting clients? Most clients are fairly close to the town centre office. Should...

    Purchasing an established Ltd Company

    I want to purchase an established Limited company (trading for at least 12 months, and has filed at least one set of accounts).

    VOIP softphone instead of physical phone

    I've used a VOIP provider for many years, and it works great. But I've always used a VOIP phone - usually a Cisco IP phone. I have an Android tablet with a dock, and thought it'd make more sense to have that on my desk instead of the phone as I could use it to run Todoist on as well. As I...

    Video conferencing options

    I'm looking for some recommendations for video conferencing hardware for Zoom & Teams. My business partner is not particularly technically minded, so I need a setup to improve on what they currently have, which is an iPad Pro. They use this so their laptop can still be used during the call. 3...
