    Hi All, Being a NatWest business account holder and thinking about the current ongoing scandal its made me think about the safety of cash reserves in the event that they hit serious turmoil as a result. I'm curious to know whether you hold all of your reserves in a single bank account or...

    Liz Truss PM - Gone Within a Year?

    The PM does not have advance warning of the questions. Her own departments brief her in anticipation of likely subjects, therefore she effectively ad lib's Source: https://www.parliament.uk/about/how/business/questions/

    Liz Truss PM - Gone Within a Year?

    Perhaps Chris Philp could re-use that note 'I'm afraid there is no money' in 2024?

    Becoming a partner in a LTD

    What does this company have that you want or need? Do they have some good water tight contracts? Do they have qualified, experienced people that would be hard to replace? If not, why not start a similar business from scratch yourself? What are you buying exactly?

    Liz Truss PM - Gone Within a Year?

    She's been in a lot of the major positions and knows her way around. She did far better than I expected Wednesday, hopefully a sign of things to come. I can't think of anyone within Labour who could give her a hard time. Media interviewers these days are just looking for pathetic gotcha's that...

    This post didn't age well. She threw Starmer around like a rag doll at PMQ's

    Demotion - Pitfalls

    I'm very late to this but couldn't you sell that part of the business to your drinking buddy and that employee goes with it?

    Website Review Please

    Our website http://plumbsparesdirect.com/store/ has been around for about 3 years and we have dabbled on and off with SEO and PPC etc but not had amazing results.

    Consistently Late Paying Customer

    where do you draw the line with a customer who needs several calls and emails every single month before they begrudgingly pay their bill and make you feel like the villain for chasing? The problem is that they are our second biggest customer and we make a good profit from them. The downside is...

    Help dealing with office politics

    Just from some of the things you mentioned in your post (degree, better qualified, write a report etc) smacks of an air of superiority and would quickly be picked up by others who would be inclined to mock you. The answer is simple though....... Firstly, understand that you are a major part of...

    Retention of salary due to zero notice given

    I think you''re over thinking this waaaay too much. An 'ambulance chaser' solicitor is unlikely to take such a trivial case on. It will cost the 'employee' time and money to resolve this, would they take that risk? especially as they are at the very least morally negligent. As for the contract...

    Invoicing

    Microsoft Excel is very good for this if you know how to use it. There are loads of ready made templates you can download for free but making your own isn't difficult at all, much cheaper than dedicated software, especially as you will need to keep expenditure low

    Reliable and Cost effective Courier. Hermes Courier Hell!!

    We have used Interlink which is a subsidiary of DPD and have had few problems. Our courier service was the very weak link in our chain when we first started and we got to the point where we thought the business couldn't be viable because the original courier services were just appalling.
