    Web designer in Cornwall

    I do know a chap who is a very good web designer that can sort you out with a great website, sort your seo and does know what he is doing - his sites are very well priced too. You really need to trawl the customers of web designers and find out what they are like - I didn't, and it cost me...

    Refusing to pay an invoice in full

    It depends how far you want to take it and what you want done about it. If you can live with the faulty workmanship, then go for a discount. If you don't, and want the job done properly, then you will have to use someone else and recover costs from the other company under the legal poor...

    Disabled at restaurant

    Disability is indescriminate. Rich or poor it has no preferance. If the person can't walk / walk far, they can't walk/ walk far - has no bearing on the car they have - it is about distance. In fact they may have a luxury car for comfort, rather then street cred! Many car parks stil charge...

    Gathering Emails at Tills

    I would do it via a competition draw - voucher, free shop worth x amount, something like that. Make it worthwhile though!

    Business rates - recovery from absent tenants

    I would send a copy of the lease to the Council, and state that as far as you are aware, the lease is still valid as you have had no notice of cancellation on the lease. They are responsible for 5 years, unless they seek to come to a cancellation agreement. Therefore the council will have to...

    Please use English!

    I agree, there are terms used that can be quite annoying. But I do tend to exercise tolerance. For one, I don't keep my head anywhere near my rear end. I accept people for who they are and as long as I can understand what they are saying, that is good enough for me. I am of the opinion, that...

    Employee left - Gone to competitor, taken our database

    I would take some advice! I think you will find, that if there is a clause in your contract he can be held account for that - and also the information is your property and he has in effect stolen that.....he, and the other company if they use it, can be in a whole heap of trouble! I would get...

    Heating a 4000sqft workshop?

    Take a look at ground source heating. Not sure if it can be done on an industrial scale, but if you own the building and will do long term, then may be a good option! It is seen as 'green' and you only have to run the pump. Houses cost as little as £20/quarter to heat space and water as you...

    Overcoming "Happy with current supplier" or beating existing supplier relationships?

    You will have two main hurdles. Firstly - can you supply same/advanced service consistently and back that up? Secondly - How long are you going to be around/have you been around? If taking on another supplier over a long term - these will be the first two objections. Sometimes price can be...

    What separates the dreamers from the successful people?

    Drive! Lazy person can have the best ideas in the world, but with no drive and tenacity to bring it to life - they remain just dreams.

    Is age a big issue?

    Do it now and learn, I started when I was 16 with no real issues - people will take you seriously if you are competant and confident. I also think with web design, it is more a matter of what you can do- older generations accept that youngsters have grown up with computers and are pretty savvy...

    Van Magnets

    It will be cheaper and more effective to get the vehicle signwritten properly. Mags make you look more of a 'window cleaner today, removal man tomorrow' odd job type that may change his name regularly. Signwritten vehicles look far more professional and customers have far more faith in your...

    Cold Call Newspaper Advertising

    I have just got off the phone from the paper concerned. I was initially passed from pillar ot post, with the managing director at first claiming to have nothing to do with that paper - and then conceding that she was the director! She 'looked into it' and came back (quickly - give her that)...
