    Hello UKBF! I'm in a bit of a spot right now. We've just proven our business model and taken on our first 15 paying (subscription) customers with no paid advertising (and in 7 days). We're really chuffed and our goal was 10. However, we're at the stage where we now require to stock inventory...

    How to do subscription payments like Crewfitter.com?

    I was interested in their payment system rather than form. The form is quite long but makes sense for the information they need. Fortunately I found out the payment system was stripe :)

    Contacted by Investment company

    Apologies for the very late reply, I've been rather busy and forgot about my account here. Thank you for the advice. We investigated the company and it appears that they were either middlemen or very new investors -- they had virtual offices around the world but weren't active in any one...
