    Do you actually use Trustpilot?

    I have left several reviews and Trustpilot have reached out as the company has said they don't recognise me as a customer. The onus was on me to prove I was. The first time this happened was about a company constantly spamming me and despite repeated requests they didn't stop so I wrote a...

    Do you actually use Trustpilot?

    I think you've done yourself no favours claiming negative reviews if they weren't for you. Then replying with such long responses will turn off many who don't have the time to read it. Brevity is usually the better approach with something like: Then for genuine, but poor reviews something...

    Free accounting, preferably online

    I know a few people who use Anna Money website: anna. money without the space and I've been really impressed with it. Quick to set up and although is a bank, their phone/web app is really clever. You can start with a PAYG plan which is basically charging by transaction and then pay monthly...

    Registering a trademark

    No need to be a pedant, I understand how domains work. To all intents and purposes the domain is mine as it's my company name, trademark and website. Given you know absolutely nothing my business, what I sell, how I sell it, what it does or indeed how customers find me, I'm really not...

    Registering a trademark

    Sorry if I sounded like a c ock, long day! There is a website yes, doesn't appear unless I type in the full name i.e. abc123.co.uk into Google, abc123 doesn't appear in the first 10 pages as of 2 minutes ago, in fact I already rank which I'd yet to even check until just now.

    Registering a trademark

    My situation was that (real names changed) - An existing sole trader was trading as a cleaner on monkify.co.uk - monkify in the UK does not come up as the sole trader on at least the first 5 Google search results - Other websites I do not own already trade in other territories as monkify.co as...

    Registering a trademark

    I'm not suggesting that, I am stating that as a fact. I haven't checked beyond page 10 but who would. As much as you think you know what you're talking about, it's generally based on your opinion.

    B2b intergration help

    I know Unleashed very well. Curious whether there a reason why you wouldn't just simply use their B2B portal? It's been built just for this and would be a whole lot easier to manage than other people's solutions of either completely switching up your entire ecommerce platform or maintaining...

    Registering a trademark

    As I said I just wanted to sanity check before I paid for legal advice, I don't need any what is a brand 101 guidance.

    Registering a trademark

    I see it as a great brand which is currently unheard of, doesn't show up in Google and if I gave up everytime there was a hurdle I wouldn't do what I do. Plus I wanted a quick sanity check before I paid for legal advice.

    Registering a trademark

    I thought I explained there is no other trademark the same or similar to the one I am suggesting and in my second example there is no company either. I own the company name, I have the relevant domains except .co.uk which is currently being used in an unrelated sector. My plan is to get legal...

    Registering a trademark

    Thank you this has been really helpful. Just so I am clear, if a sole trader were to trade as a name let's say www.percolised.co.uk and I subsequently registered Percolised Limited, had the trademark and the www.percolised.com and even though one was cleaning test tubes and the other was...

    Registering a trademark

    OK understood. If the other limited company didn't have the same name registered and was only using the .co.uk domain, would that make a difference? I.e. I'd own the .com domain, the limited company and have a trademark?
