    Door Postcard Advert Display thingummyjig

    This maybe a crazy idea, but get some window insulation film and stick it over the back of the window with the advertising in place. You can remove the film no problem but everything will be nicely stuck down and no one can run off with them

    Strange Question - What are you business challenges

    Just to clarify, I meant employ someone to do the admin side. I do the advertising, customer service, HR and accounts myself. The actual work I do have employees for.

    Strange Question - What are you business challenges

    My answer will be just as strange as the question. I work from home and I have two kids, time is my challenge. Also as I like to be a know it all and I do courses all the time to keep my knowledge up to scratch. I refuse to employ someone as I can make time and keep my money but until kids go to...

I knew 100% and explained in details everything, I even gave their work address, home address, address of their equipment, their accountants details which i explained knew of their little forgetfulness...

    When does maternity leave start for fathers?

    Fathers have a right to paternity leave from the moment the baby is born but generally it starts when their partner is in labour, this is just out of general agreement rather than law, if the baby is not actually born, say false labour for example that time off is the unpaid leave. Any time...

    Copyright - photo of me

    Depends, what was the event? If it was a private event and they were personally hired to take the photos then it's owned by the person that asked them to attend the event. If it was a public event, even if they were asked to take pictures or they just so happened to take this picture because...

    Made redundant - Started for new employer but how does it look?

    I shouldn't think so personally. As a business owner myself I would expect my employees to know the company inside and out well enough to help any customer query weather that would be to deal with it themselves or forward them onto the right person. If you're simply turning them away that's...

    advertising carpet cleaning business

    I've tried them all for advertising, yell is so far the most cost effective so far. Depending on what you want depends on what you pay.

    Managing Full-time Job & Part-time Biz

    Thank you, and it sure is. I don't think I could ever go back to working for others, I end up getting irritated by the guys in charge doing a terrible job.

    Managing Full-time Job & Part-time Biz

    Hahaha, well don't feel lazy, I feel like I'm slowly organising my death rather than my business. They both go to school soon and I'm working on off loading some of my work to an employee so no one try this as an everyday routine. I have lots of things I need to do for our business that I just...

    Managing Full-time Job & Part-time Biz

    I run two business (trying to a third but that's more of a give back to the community thing), I work from home and have two kids that are at the minute at home all of the time. I'm also doing a degree in business and accounting course and a few other things. It's hard but if you take one step at...
