    some advice and direction please

    From what you say I would buy a decent camera from Amazon and test it out. Can it zoom in close enough to the displays you want to view & read the text? PC wise, there is loads of remote PC software, google chrome remote is free & works fine. You could also put some key logging software onto...

    First Rental Agreement for a pub

    Hi, good point, what if the landlords see you grow the business & decide to take it back? That's something I'm researching now for a business I'm looking to buy.

    Can't afford holiday pay

    Its not the drivers who get the holiday pay, they are all self employed. It's the operators. Whilst I may not have to transfer their pay over into the next year, all staff are aware of their holiday entitlement.

    Splitting a company - VAT Flat rate scheme
