    Anyone got the 10k business Rates relief grant yet?

    I am Secretary of a social club which I do on a part-time basis. Our local council is Waverley Borough Council in Surrey. I applied for the £10K grant as soon as the online claim facility was running. The cash was in the Club's account in 10 days. Whether it's going to be enough to keep the...

    Are banks allowed to do this?

    In the end it turns out this is all because he has not registered for online banking and downloaded HSBC's protection software!!!! Why not say so in the letter in the first place?

    Are banks allowed to do this?

    A friend of mine runs a roofing business. He has banked at HSBC for some 20 years, never needed an overdraft and has never been overdrawn. He has not needed to borrow from any bank. His turnover in £110K to £120K per annum, and he usually has between £10K and £15K in cash in the account. It is a...

    Response to defence

    I wonder if anyone can help. I can't find a simple answer online. I have issued a County Court claim against a client for unpaid invoices. This was after many attempts to solve the issue amicably. The other party has filed a rather spurious defence. How long do I have to reply to the defence if...

    Importing alcoholic drinks from outside the EU

    I'm looking to import a range of wines and liqueurs from outside the EU. Do I need a special import licence? If so, how do I go about obtaining one? Any advice would be gratefully appreciated. Steve

    partnership structure

    Roughly 4 months ago I joined a LLP. I paid a partnership fee and under the terms of the agreement I was due to receive certain services including 3 hot sales leads from which I would receive an income stream. Nothing has been delivered so I resigned my partnership and asked for my money back...

    Chasing payment from customer

    Thank you for all your replies. On balance I think I'll start with a CCJ and take it from there.

    Chasing payment from customer

    Thanks for your reply John. I know what you're saying, but I have been through the court route before and it ended up costing me and I got nothing back. If someone is adamant they are not going to pay, a court judgement is almost impossible to enforce. That's why I would rather hit them hard...

    Chasing payment from customer

    Just under £7,700 + VAT. I don't want to chuck good money after bad, and I fear some spurious excuse for non-payment may be put forward. The company does not have a good reputation, but they had been fine on payments until this. The invoice is now 9 months old! Is that what you call a gestation...

    Chasing payment from customer

    My company has a customer who is flatly refusing to pay an invoice without any legitimate reason. I've tried collection agents, 7 day letter threats of legal action etc. The directors refuse to speak to me. I think the company has cashflow problems. Is there any way I can instigate winding-up...
