Hi All,
I'm starting a new business and want to check our potential name for any conflicts with other trademarks - where do I start? I have contacted a solicitor who has suggested he can do a clearance search (?) for us for around £200, I think that's the bit before filing to ensure that there...
Hi all,
apologies for the delay in responding to your replies. First of all, thank you for getting back to me.
@finest123 I completely wish I hadn't contacted the solicitor first.
@FrazerBye Thanks for your feedback. On the day after I posted, I spoke to a trademark attorney. Conclusion is...
Hi, I’m hoping someone can help with this query as it’s proving to be quite stressful sitting here thinking about it.
We put in a Trade Mark application with the IPO for our brand that has been going for 5 years, but a major high street retailer opposed it via formal opposition – they claim...
Thanks for the suggestions. At first i thought about creating an email which would give a little bit of information about our company and contact details and attaching a catalogue, then following up a week or so later with a phone call.

Hi, thanks for the info.
So are there any particular lenders that are more likely to lend to someone who is self employed (and also has a salaried job earning 12k per annum after tax)?
Also, what i don't understand is whether having that regular monthly income from the salaried job works...
Does the 3 year (ish) rule still apply if i have a part time job that I've had for nearly 3 years earning about £12k p/a? Does that count in my favour at all?
Hello, thanks for the info. 3 years worth?? :( that is indeed a veeeery long time :(
Any mortgage brokers on here that could clarify, or indeed anyone else with any advice?
Hi All,
Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this thread, newbie here :)
I wondered if anyone had any advice on how someone who has been self employed for less than a year (therefore has not completed a self assessment yet) can show their income? I ask as i may be looking to...
