    Splitting a partnership with a lazy bugger

    Some of this depends on the structure of your partnership. Are you shareholders in a company? And, if so, did you sign a shareholders' agreement? Are you both directors? Or is it all pretty informal with nothing much in writing? When I faced this situation a few years ago, I ended up...

    Newsletter Help Please!!!

    I would keep it simple and make sure it's interesting to readers and not too salesy or they won't come back for more. You've got to make sure they regard it as a newsletter and not spam or advertising. cheers Rob Press Dispensary

    Advice and suggestions - Gift Vouchers

    I think it's probably a good idea. Can't see why not. You could put flyers/postcards around town, as well as ads on your website and local community websites/forums etc. just so long as everything drives people to sign up for the newsletter. Rob Press Dispensary

    No probs. :) And yes, you could change the current account. I was suggesting the new account simply because I don't know your current setup. Rob Press Dispensary

    Ideas to do on shop opening day?

    Local newspapers vary from town to town. Some will cover business stories but many (like my local paper) will generally only cover a business story if it's a genuinely big story in the town (which a shop opening is not, I'm afraid) or if there's something in it for the paper. You can decide...

    Been reinvoiced in my name after company closed

    One of the facts that's arisen in the MPs' expenses scandal is that we are all personally liable for our own tax and for paying our accountants to calculate it, and that the accountant's fees (for that part of the accountant's work) are not tax-deductable. I get the feeling HMRC would hold you...

    Any Facebook experts

    Hi In my experience, there are several ways to tackle this. 1. The immediate problem You say you originally set up under your corporate name, so if your message comes from your corporate FB page you don't have a branding issue.

    What is a brand and how do you lay claim to it?

    Without getting into the moral arguments, some leading questions: if you take away what you're now doing with the brand - i.e. the activity you're carrying out under its name - does the brand have an intrinsic value? So if the shareholders call in the receivers, can the receivers sell the brand...

    Quotes required for a new business - Pitch away!

    You mentioned taking bookings via a website, which to me is a great service that will definitely appeal to customers. I'm not alone in being the sort of person who might be planning my week outside office hours and using the web to do it. But my recommendation is to be cautious here. A website...
