    AI copyright?

    I think it could still fall foul of copyright laws - similar to music that sounds close to someone else's, it may be different but not a completely new piece. You're using elements of someone else's work. I do also wonder about AI generated art, from scratch, it must get the base content from...

    VPNs and Online Safety Act

    phones are banned during the school day anyway? At least at my child's school, if the teacher saw a phone they'd confiscate it and a parent would have to collect at 5pm. I also recommend you all read the actual bill, in full, not just the headline. It goes a lot further than just blocking...

    Car finance "compensation", reasonable or unreasonable ?

    I think there's a few strands to it, relating to honesty around selling financial products, offering terms that were higher cost to make more profit when customers should have been offered a better option for their affordability and controlling the interest rate of the offer. Some dealerships...

    Car finance "compensation", reasonable or unreasonable ?

    I believe it's because they weren't clear about which part was commission and which part was finance, also potentially inflating the monthly repayments to give themselves a bigger commission, rather than stating 'We pay ourselves a 10% commission', it was just random I think. For example, they...

    Feedback or ghosted?

    If someone's taken the time to have an interview, they should get some feedback, even if it's simply someone else was a better fit. I can't see a company interviewing more than 6 people, so there's ample time for a reply out of courtesy - the interviewee has taken an hour out of their day...

    We've Done Projects for Google & Ericsson... Now What? - Advice Needed

    Very interesting - have you thought of contacting other agencies, who work with clients of a similar scale but don't offer your services? They've got the contacts, you've got the knowledge. As others have also mentioned though, talk to your business partner about it. Maybe they're not aware...

    Changes to small UK company filing rules to be shelved?

    Isn't this because they've realised they'd have to publish figures from their own companies? The U turns are incredible. Half baked ideas being publicised and then retracted when they realise they won't work.

    Shopify Cosmetic Store

    Are you based in the UK and selling cosmetic products within the UK market? Or are you importing them/selling direct from overseas factories? If you are outside of the UK, the answers we give you may not work.

    Shopify Cosmetic Store

    How will that change with Shopify? The parcels are still going to be late or go missing...also, do you lose that many parcels with Royal Mail?

    Has the End of On-line Filing Been Delayed?

    Same. Must be a typo in the email - they mean 2026 surely?

    President Donald Trump

    That can be applied to many countries though - not just Iran. Why is it always the middle east that gets carpet bombed? They're not doing it to North Korea? My gripe is the legality of the action, the flimsy evidence. Iran is a sovereign state, just like Ukraine, yet Russia said Ukraine was a...

    Is my business allowed to sell...

    You send them for sample testing at an official test centre - they'll check for things like lead, risk of swallowing, solvents in the paint. It is your duty to ensure the products you place on the UK market adhere to UK safety regulations. Temu are not the importer or reseller of the product...

    Retailers: How do you like to be approached

    It's not - it's incredibly complex with a lot of competition across a variety of price points and brand aesthetics. Customers have varying degrees of interest in home fragrance, from passing interest once a year to obsessed with a particular brand or scent. Some garden centres won't be...

    Retailers: How do you like to be approached

    If your company is the one I'm thinking of, you won't need to do sale or return - you've got a strong brand identity and highly rated products. Whoever did your packaging - give them a lollipop. I had 12 independent retailers for my home fragrance business but you've got up to 120? That's...

    President Donald Trump

    The US already had a nuclear deal with Iran - independently inspected. Trump crushed it, said it was a bad deal because Obama was dumb (hint: he wasn't) and he wanted a new, big, beautiful nuclear deal, the Trump Deal...Iran said no. Having nuclear material does not equal having a workable...
