    VAT invoice - Required?

    Hi all. I need to confirm something. We pay rent to our landlord of 3 years for our business premises. Both the landlord and ourselves are VAT registered. Problem we have is that we have not received and invoices for the last 2 years and I am concerned about this. We've always paid the...

    Premises issues

    OK then; a few days on now and things are really heating up! Landlord has just sent me a letter telling me he intends to serve bankruptcy on me on 25th this month, based on something to do with The Property Act 1925, Section 40. Now I've had a poke around on Google (obviously now making me QC...

    Premises issues

    Just as mentioned, the solicitor has been instructed and she is now helping me. According to her, we just have a pay as you go type agreement. I've given my landlord a confirmation letter that the company is intending to move and will pay rent up to the month we leave, and the unit will be...

    Premises issues

    I pay rent every month. It is paid through my on-line banking towards the end of the month. Really, I agreed to the Heads of Agreement back in mid 2009, and I even insisted on a break clause after 2 years (we're presently at 3 years 3 months). There was no detail in the Heads of Agreement...

    That's pretty much how I see it. Thanks for this. ;)

    Premises issues

    Having moved into 2 shell units, I've spent around 5k in electrics and alarm systems. He has asked that these get removed when we go...

    Premises issues

    The actual nitty-gritty of the Heads of Agreement state: '...under the following terms and conditions to be contained in a jointly-signed formal lease as soon as practicable' That's all really other than laying out the terms (most of which are now irrelevant due to being over 3 years old...

    Premises issues

    There is no lease for the first or second unit. Just a signed Heads of Agreement. The second unit was moved into in November 2011 and yes, rent has been paid as outlined in the heads of agreement and is up-to-date.

    Premises issues

    My understanding was that a legal document outlining the overall lease in detail would be drawn up. This (despite asking for it in the past) has never appeared. I've seen a solicitor specialising in commercial landlord and tenants and she says that the later unit heads of agreement are very...

    Premises issues

    Hi all. I've got a problem relating to the property I use for my Limited Company. 3 years ago I agreed to a 5 year lease on a unit. Then last November I took on the adjacent unit, but as things have contracted recently I needed to move out of at least one of the units. However, the...

    Yes. From what I remember.

    Returning leased equipment

    Hi all. I'm in the position where I'm going to have to either downsize the business, or close it completely. We've financed some of the equipment via Kennets and Lombard and these leases were taken out over 5 years and there is 1 year and 10 months remaining on them. In laymen's terms...

    Backup/Storage - Best option

    I was looking around for a suitable solution and found Carbonite. Think I may try this once I've sorted out the PC at work on Monday. I just need to find a good multi function printer and then I'm sorted!

    Backup/Storage - Best option

    I've been doing an occasional backup of my management software and also my documents folder, but nothing massive. Would I be better off continuing this method with a small USB WD Passport drive, or would I be better off running some sort of on-line backup. Really, if things go bad, I expect...
