    Am I asking too much of my accountant?

    I have just sacked my accountant for not getting back to much simpler queries within what I consider to be a very reasonable timeline. You're paying them to provide you a service - don't feel like you're ever asking too much of them.

    Being sued, need help

    I'm not sure this has too much to do with the holding of your property, as @Chris Ashdown mentions above. In fact, you're almost suggesting something pretty close to blackmail in return which is exactly what you are so annoyed about... Have you reported this to the fraud squad or to your...

    Match betting

    After you have bagged all the bonus offers as described it will dry up a little, and then gradually become harder and harder. Anyone who manages to scale it up from there does so by selling a system, or by developing software. And it is matched betting by the way. Have a look into Betfair...

    Business Insurances - recommendations?

    Hi all I need to get professional indemnity insurance, employee liability and public liability set up. The professional indemnity insurance is proving to be a bit of sticking point as I have just picked up a contract with a publicly listed major financial institution, and that seemingly...

    "white paper" type PDF content

    Hi all Does anyone know who I would approach or where I would find a template for the kind of PDF file content that many financial institutions produce? Usually its info regarding one of their products, or market overviews, that kind of thing? I'm not very creative minded so I think I would be...

    Partnership structure

    They are directly regulated I'm not sure I understand what you mean here - are you suggesting that I create a network of appointed representatives? Second part seems to suggest someone needs to take me on...can you clarify?

    Partnership structure

    Thanks @Clinton I'll bear that in mind. I'm happy enough with the FCA part its more about the branding and commission splits part that I need help with. I have contacted a lawyer and will see what they come back with. Thanks

    Partnership structure

    @Kat Haylock do you think you could move this to "General" forum for me? I don't think this is really the right place for it in hindsight...

    Partnership structure

    Hi all I'm shortly going to be starting out on my own, in a finance brokerage, but I have the option to be associated with another company and use all of or some of their compliance, branding, infrastructure etc. I need to firm up and agree with that company (in writing) what the partnership...

    Tax efficient LTD company setup

    Hi all I am about to start trading through a limited company that I set up a number of years ago, but that I have left dormant since it was incorporated. At the time I set it up, I added my wife as a shareholder (10%) and director, on the assumption that I would be able to pay her a salary which...

    Telephone number and registered address

    I take your point - its not a big deal. However I moved house just in May this year, and every time there's another thing to add to the list for address changes! I'm just trying to avoid more of that. 5 minutes to change an address on a website is nothing, but when you have to do it for 100...

    Telephone number and registered address

    Nothing dodgy, and its not about people being able to turn up at my house - I just know already that I'm moving house again in March and will be moving again soon after that so if I have a separate address then I don't need the hassle of changing it. Not a bad idea - I might look into that...
