    Trade marketing for development?

    I'm a dual citizen US/UK so that's why the US LLC :) I'm still open and available for this kind of trade/partnership so if anyone is interested please get in touch.

    Trade marketing for development?

    Hey Gary, Yes, I can create products. I created all the products for multiple software businesses ranging from websites to SaaS products to video games to WordPress plugins. And much more :) When I have been successful with selling these products I feel it's been more through luck/timing...

    Trade marketing for development?

    I'm a very experienced software developer and I'm pretty terrible at sales & marketing. I'm sure there are many people here who are in the opposite situation so why don't we help each other out? I can help with building websites, tweaking your ecommerce setup, custom building some...

    Best place to find online businesses for sale?

    I'm looking to purchase a business and having a hard time finding what I want. I'm really looking for an online business that has established customers already although it can be something that only earns a few hundred a month right now. I have a decent amount to invest and software skills to...

    Where do you look for commerical kitchens for rent?

    I haven't spoken to the council business team, didn't even know such a thing existed. I have been around a bunch of pubs in the city centre though and they all have their own food offering. I had the same thought as you that some might have an unused kitchen but so far no luck. I will keep...

    Where do you look for commerical kitchens for rent?

    Well I called the council and was told for what I plan I'm likely to need A5 (or A3) planning permission which rules out the industrial parks unfortunately. Apparently you can get away with a commercial kitchen under "general industrial" usage if it's not hot food for immediate...

    Yeah in the week, but on weekends we'll need to be open for lunch too.

    Where do you look for commerical kitchens for rent?

    Thanks for the info, I think A5 is exactly what I need. Now I just need to find out how difficult it is to get that :) Calling the council and a couple of industrial parks this morning.

    Where do you look for commerical kitchens for rent?

    @aiteo I'm based in Nottingham currently and there is nothing like those London sites here unfortunately. @OldWelshGuy I had that thought but we'll be open for lunch/dinner all week so it will be difficult to find someone who isn't also cooking then! Thanks though :)

    Where do you look for commerical kitchens for rent?

    Hi guys, I'm having a real hard time trying to find a commercial kitchen for rent. I'm happy to pay a bit more and rent a fitted kitchen or even just a unit that I can kit out myself. I don't need any frontage as this will be a delivery only business. Where do you find these kinds of places...

    Invoicing System?

    I use a WordPress invoicing plugin called Quip Invoices but I don't think it connects to ecommerce like WooCommerce etc. You might want to check on codecanyon.com for WooCommerce invoicing. Good luck!

    Self employed sales staff. Yes or no?

    Yep, and it doesn't work. First of all, it's very hard to find GOOD salespeople to work on a commission only basis for lots of reasons. Is your product so AMAZING that they can sell enough to make a living? If not, why would they risk not getting paid anything at all for their time when there...

    New buisness start up advice please

    To your original question, yes it's likely much safer for you to setup a LTD with something like this and you can hire staff on a contract basis at least to begin with but bear in mind that if they act and work like employees then you will have to classify them as such and therefore pay the...

    Who could create a Music Magpie type website....

    Looking at the page source I'd guess it's a custom developed ASP .NET website and my best guess would be that it was built by a small team web agency. Pretty much any competent web development shop could knock something like this together in a matter of weeks depending on how many features you...

    app or no app

    Yeah that's quite a common way of doing things. The trick, however, is convincing the client that they should be paying you the 30k rather than finding people to do it for 15k themselves. What exactly would you be offering of value to this client?
