    Could I open a Business Bank Account Today?

    Went into Barclays and Santander branches today, both sent me away with mobile phone numbers to get in touch with a business manager that would arrange to meet me... Seems like a lot of hassle... I had my lease, passport, business plan and everything else with me but they don't seem to be...

    Advice: Sole Trader or Limited Company

    It is always tough because as a freelancer you should really be going sole trader... however in a professional industry such as surveying you want to come across as professional.

    paypal 180 days

    I had over £600 in my paypal account when they limited it... it did indeed take 180 days but they paid me as they said they would. I think it is an awful way to treat customers by suddenly enforcing this upon them, however I guess if you are scammed when buying something you would be truly...

You can always tell people reading from a script and if you are reading in a script you don't know about the product, if you don't know about the product you don't...

    How do I reverse an unpaid invoice?
