    "NLA media access" or The NLA - anyone had dealings?

    Hi yes, get that, we don't copy (PR isn't really a big part of what we do) we dont copy articles. The shock to me though, reading there info was that if you send a link to your published article on a site, you need a distribution licence. FOR A URL?

    "NLA media access" or The NLA - anyone had dealings?

    Has anyone, most like a PR agency, had dealings with this company. I have never heard of them. Apparently they are a private company who issue licences on behalf of their members for copyrighted content. Eg newspapers, magazines, web etc. Even if you are not copying large portions of text, but...

    Opening a Takeaway - what are the downsides?

    That's the sort of response I was hoping for. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. My gut feel is that's it's too big a risk with his background. I really love what the Athenian are doing so would love to see a small northern chain but yeah, Brexit is a worry. Thank you!

    Opening a Takeaway - what are the downsides?

    Selling my business

    a little far for me. To be honest you've had some really good advice here. Daltons simply want you to pay them money, they dont care about you or your business. Even worse, the business transfer agents who will sell you the idea of a big payout. Then lock you into a contract you cant get out...
