    Google Reviews V Trust Pilot

I've had another offer cash which I am considering for the similar amount so it seems I won't have to to go down the route...

    Selling my business....

    Thanks Guys. The initial loan would be 250k with me working in the business for a year and taking 100% of the profits up to 300k and 50% of any additionals all in year 1 therefore 550k minimum is almost guaranteed. After year 1 I leave the business and it’s over to him to “hopefully” get me the...

    Selling my business....

    With a permanent move to Spain scheduled for 2024 I am considering selling my company. The other option is hiring an MD and having him or her run this in my absence (this scares me somewhat) I have had 3/4 enquiries and so far 2 offers for the business. one guy in particular I would like to...

    Home Office Rent

    Thank you guys. We are looking into renting an office for £750 per month which is what made me think about it. Doesn’t really seem fair but it is what is it. Going by the above comments I will likely just leave as is. I currently have a second (and 3rd in Spain) home so not sure if this will...

    Taking Money out of a business...

    I don’t doubt the problem is the questions I am asking, hence why I asked the question on here because I don’t know what questions to ask

    Had 3 weeks away from the business...

    Seems to me like you are actually answering your own question (I do it all the time) Surely you change the pricing to make it worthwhile or you stop doing it completely. How much revenue on average per month do you make from it taking into consideration time away from other jobs and costs...

    Taking Money out of a business...

    Thanks Guys. I left my current accountant and went to another one over a year ago as this guy wasn’t giving me anything to save me! Not one single saving but he was even more useless and I didn’t trust him so went back to my old one. He’s a very by the book accountant which I do like but god I...
