    WHat is the Lowest Credit Score someone can have to successfully get a bank loan?

    How much capital are you looking to raise? The bank will ask if you have been in contact with any of the agancies that are there to provide help, so If you have not already been there, do so before approaching your bank. Similarly though many grant schemes will want to see a rejection letter...

    Best interview questions

    I was put off one when an interviewer asked: 'If you could be any type of animal, which would you be?' Now seriously, what would be the correct answer there then?

    Best interview questions

    Think of the most difficult situation their potential job could put them in and ask them how they'd deal with it. Don't penalise them for taking a moment to think about it. That is a sign of someone who won't make rash decisions. The usual ones are asking them to give an example of when they...

    Working out the selling price

    Not bad for someone who is mathematically dyslexic eh? :P Worked as an analyst for years and even though I couldn't tell you how to work out the percentages I know how it all should relate to get to the answer you're looking for. I heart excel :D

    Business Insurance

    If I was renting a retail property, what insurance would I need? Assume that I have public liability from my trade association. Will I need buildings and contents or just contents? and can anyone give me an approximation of what the annual cost may be as I have no idea and need a ballpark...

    New Business Marketing

    At what point would be best to start marketing a new business? Pre-start? After agreeing lease but still during refurb? Is it best to do a full blitz to start and risk more bookings than you can handle or is it best to test the water and see the response? Lets say the business is one of...

    Dreaming of Dragons...

    Sigh, I can't do alarm clocks that wake you straight up. Due to a virus I had when I was small, my bod has trouble making them certain important brain chemicals, some of them pertain to sleep, so I have to stir by natural light and have one of those natural alarm clock jobbies. Being jumped...

    Dreaming of Dragons...

    I thought I'd share a dream I had whilst stirring this morning. I was at a table in a hotel 'conference room'. I was on one side of the table and Deborah Meadon was on the other. We were chatting about my business and had been for some time (by how things were sounding). Apparently Theo...

    Working out the selling price

    Ok so over all you need to make £1.50 at the end of it all after you have claimed VAT back right? So simply put you are taking 17.5% off of £1.50 and claiming it back later? So your selling price would still be £1.50. Or if you need to acheive £1.50 after the VAT is taken off and before it's...

    Cost Effective Advertising

    Speaking as a mother, when I was looking for baby items, if they were impulse buys I'd be browsing baby magazines. I would NOT ever click on google adwords. I don't know why but it has always been something that has turned me off so to speak. I never look at the sponsored links down the side...

    Smooth Criminal

    Hey, I can symapthise with you to a certain extent here. I am on long term incapacity benefit and at around the same point as you, finely tuning the plan. I can tell you the best thing to do is to bite the bullet and go and see a few business bank managers. Don't be scared of them, you...
