    Advice for the future of my company

    I have seen a few car parts companies doing this online (mainly ads on Facebook) and they seem to stock e-bikes which are a strong market and gradually taking over. I guess although it's a 'bicycle' the motor aspect of it kind of works with their market. We are lucky as we are on elite + pricing...

    Advice for the future of my company

    Advice for the future of my company

    Starting my own brand with components would be the way forward & something I would like to do. However it would be a new company and it takes time to build this customer base up plus not an easy task designing them and finding a reliable company to manufacture the products.

    Advice for the future of my company

    Thanks for the feedback guys. It took some time building the company up and I am confident the figures could double quite quickly in the right hands.

    Advice for the future of my company

    In regards to Clintons response - Was that really necessary? I didn't come here being big headed thinking I was going to become a millionaire franchise expert. I openly admitted I had no idea if this could be done but would be considered if viable. I found out from reply number 1 that it was...

    Advice for the future of my company

    Thanks for the info. I appreciate selling the company isn't straight forward. I would like it sold within a year if I went down the route but know it can take longer. In regards to potential I imagine this is something which gets thrown a round a lot with company sales but we genuinely do. To...

    PCI Compliance

    Thanks for the info. I managed to get to the bottom of it with Payment sense, as the account was closed they said ignore the compliance and they will take care of it. I believe worldpay is up to date as we haven't needed to do anything as of yet. Thanks again :)
