Thanks for your response Charlie B
The lease is in the name of the Ltd Company
No personal guarantees given
As director, I don't owe the Ltd company any money (I've been living off savings since, not even taking a salary)
Hope this helps
Hi
I'd like to get some advice from the board if I may.
I'm 15 months through a 24 month lease of a commercial suite. I have kept up my rental payments with no fuss or delay and have had a good relationship with the landlord so far.
My business is not taking off, and for this reason as well...
Hi
I always get great advice from the members here and just want to say that I'm grateful for it and I will 'thank' your post in return. I'm still learning here so not always able to reciprocate with advice, but I hope that in time, that will come. :)
So I quit my job and set up my...
Hi
When I started up the company last year I put in 1 ordinary share. I later learned that it is better to enter 100 so you can divide into percentages more easily at a later date.
There's been no change in the share capital of the company (i.e. it's still just me), but whilst doing the...
Thanks Paul for your response
Yes, I'm aware of the possibility of paying myself in dividends but, in the absence of profits, what must I physically do to notify HMRC and demonstrate that I am still salaried? Is there any specific forms I must fill in to notify HMRC that I have not quit a job...
Hi
I recently (3 months ago) stopped full time employment to start up my own business (limited company, not self-employed). For the past three months, I have been living off savings as the business is still getting off the ground.
I need to pay myself some modest salary (even though...
An update to the below: they are willing to buy our services on a trial basis but without contract, as the person who deals with contracts at their end if away until July. What are the risks of providing services to them on a trial basis without a contract? Are they implicitly agreeing to our...
I'm the same as you... I desperately needed a website for my business so I installed a cheap and cheerful, pretty limited, wordpress theme. It looks basic and I urgently want to revamp it... I've been exploring these drag and drop sites such as Jimdo, Wix and Weebly, but ultimately I want to...
Hi
Got a question regarding a company which wants to procure our services. We usually ask our customers to sign a contract to cover ourselves and them, but one potential client seems very hesitant to sign anything (but otherwise look like a respectable company, I think it's just a fear of...
Thanks for your response.
The school now seems a bit tentative on entering into a contract - they have instead suggested a pilot scheme for just 6 weeks (the total value of services not being more than a thousand pounds)... if they don't physically sign a contract, are they still essentially...
Thanks for your replies. If I give a proposal with an indicative contract to say the Deputy Head, I'm wondering whether they'll sit on it because of confusion or get scared off because they may not want to enter into contracts on behalf of the school.
Hi, I run a small business providing training services to individuals (e.g. team building, leadership etc), and we have a contract which we use for that. My new client, in which I'm providing training services to their students, is a school.
What are unique issues with entering a B2B...
