    Voluntarily winding up

    I have applied to voluntarily wind up a company of which I am the sole director. After the company is fully wound up will I automatically be "resigned" from the directorship or do I need to submit a resignation form also. I understand the concept that once it is wound up the company no...

    Closing non-trading company

    Thanks for the replies. I am comfortable with the procedure for striking off the company voluntarily. However, from an accounts perspective, surely HMRC will object to me striking off the company without having submitted any accounts, even though the Corporation Tax accounting period hasn't...

    Closing non-trading company

    I registered a company in May of 2011 with intent to start trading almost immediately. However due to circumstances I was offered a position elsewhere in another organisation which I took. My company is therefore registered with Companies House, and it's status is active, however I wish to wind...

    Business Bank Account

    I'd recommend Natwest. They have two years free business banking at the moment, the communication is good, and online banking facilities very good too.

    first appointment with potential customer

    I agree with SLMGardening - you must demonstrate total confidence in your products and services, and your ability to deliver what the customer requires.

    Fees or not fees on website?

    I think it is all dependent on what the company offers. In the case of products, I would agree. I wouldn't purchase from a company who don't display prices, but for services, particularly ones which can be bespoke I can understand why companies can't or don't put prices on their website - this...

    Fees or not fees on website?

    I have considered the same for my website, whether or not to have prices quoted. Whilst I am in a different line of business to you, I opted not to have prices on the website, but instead to have information about the business, relevant services offered etc, along with comprehensive contact...

    Good business card?

    You need to change the background image to something associated with computers. Consider getting a "proper" email address i.e. @yourwebsite.com - this is cheap enough to do and projects a much more professional image. Consider having your card two sided, with contact details on one side...

    hiya there please lend me 2 minutes of your time

    My field isn't catering or retail so I can't advise on specific aspects of the field you are entering, but in terms of the finance, you may find it difficult to raise money via banks for this purpose unless you are offering some security yourself or proving to the bank that you have good faith...

    Want to start small business.

    In using your house you would likely need to check your tenancy agreement if you rent. If not then you may need to advise your mortgage provider if there is a mortgage on the property. As for company structure, you would be better posting in the "Legal" section of the forum, and take a look...

    bank account for business

    Usually there are fees which apply to business banking transactions i.e. depositing cheques, making payments etc. If your bank suspects that you are using a personal account for this clearly they will be missing out on revenue and will likely ask you to cease. therefore you should get a...

    Getting a Small Business Loan, Anyone Got Experience?

    A friend recently applied for a business loan (established business, 12 years old £4m/year turnover, profit in the region of 45k), and for a loan of £300k, he had to raise £100k himself also before the bank gave him consideration. Try to have a backup plan if you can as suggested by Strath.

    Mobile number v Landline

    As suggested by other posters, it gives your business a slightly more credible image and for the cost of it, it is definitely worth it. Go VOIP or get a conventional landline and you can always divert to mobile.
