    Is the UK a 'Business-Friendly' Country?

    I did actually have an allergy test done and it brought up all sorts - many of which are just potential issues rather than full blown allergies. Barley was on the list as I think were hops - so I can only assume its something in the brewing process that causes the problem with lagers but not...

    Go limited or not?

    A lot of accountants do monthly packages for small businesses e.g. pay £50 a month and get your annual accounts, personal tax returns, etc handled as well as having an accountant you can get help from all year round. Of course the cost will vary depending on your turnover and complexity of...

    Is the UK a 'Business-Friendly' Country?

    hehe I haven't heard that before! ;) If only that's what it was! No, more that after a couple of mouthfuls I go bright red, my throat closes up and I start wheezing! Strangely I don't get it with bitter, just lager. And I'm ok with lager if I take anti-histamines first although I am not sure...

    Is the UK a 'Business-Friendly' Country?

    To be fair, I haven't drank a lot of German beer mostly because I am allergic to some types of beer (mostly lager), however the UK has some pretty fine real ales. You have to go to the independents to find them but they are out there.... somewhere! I do agree with the bread though, my partner...

    Is the UK a 'Business-Friendly' Country?

    Some fair points The Byre - of course there are pros and cons but I think the fact you say you prefer the UK shows that despite the many drawbacks - there are still a lot more positives. Certainly in terms of online shopping I think the UK is leading the way in Europe and we probably are a few...

    Is the UK a 'Business-Friendly' Country?

    Is the UK a really good place to set up business? Is there somewhere else in the world you think is more business-friendly? I know the UK doesn't always seem favourable with the various taxes, rules, and regulations imposed on us but is the grass always greener? Sure there are places where...

    Self employed or limited company

    £15 if you go direct to Companies House or we have packages starting from £19.99 that include free domain name, email address, KashFlow trial, bank account, etc. Our process is also a little simpler and better explained than the Companies House one :) Formation time depends on Companies House...

    Should I be embarrassed to exhibit on by myself at an event?

    Yes that's a good idea although ideally you should try and give away something related to your product or service so that you pull in and collect details from prospective customers and not just freebie seekers!

    Should I be embarrassed to exhibit on by myself at an event?

    Yep I agree, I don't think its a standalone business but could be a nice add-on service for the right business. I guess ideally based in London given thats where most conferences are!

    Should I be embarrassed to exhibit on by myself at an event?

    It's only just occurred to me so haven't thought it through! However, my initial thought is that they would spend some time getting to know your business so they can at least explain it and answer basic questions. The idea is they would attend the exhibition with a qualified member of staff so...

    Go limited or not?

    One thing to think about is how exactly you want to protect your name. If you want to protect it as a trademark, registering as a limited company will not suffice as it will only stop someone else registering a limited company of the same name. If you want full trademark protection you would...

    Should I be embarrassed to exhibit on by myself at an event?

    Just thinking on this, I wonder if there are any companies that offer 'trade show exhibition attendance' as a service? You pay someone to attend a show with you to help run the stand and showcase your business. They would have to spend time getting up to speed with your offering and what you...

    Should I be embarrassed to exhibit on by myself at an event?

    To be honest I cant say I have ever really noticed if I go to a stand that only has one person - it's never really something that's occurred to me. Even if I did notice it I think I would just assume the other person is off looking around or attending a presentation or something. There is...

    Embeded videos on UKBF Yes or No?

    I posted my views in another thread but just to add to the official debate.... My view is that providing they are not over-used or abused then they would add to and improve the forum. There are some questions, especially those of a more technical nature that could be enhanced by embedding a...
