    Tea/Coffee/Milk

    The world runs on tea. If you do not start a project the right way, its doomed to failure. Wait til we get to the bacon butties! Thats 2-3 weeks were never going to get back.

    Tea/Coffee/Milk

    The software would cost more than the tax relief I could claim on 2-3 boxes of tea bags and coffee throughout the year. But to be completely honest, I have to go through my statements anyway for the FCA. Our CRM does it also but the 2 never tally up completely due to how mortgage commission is...

    Tea/Coffee/Milk

    There is nothing bar tea/coffee I buy for the business. Maybe the odd bit of mileage I forget to note down, but everything is completely separate.

    Tea/Coffee/Milk

    Not a bad shout to be fair. I might do that, I never thought about buying it off there. I dont think there is anything else to be honest. My business is quite straight forward. oney out is mostly for IT/rent/bills etc. I rarely use the physical card.

    Tea/Coffee/Milk

    I have been in business for 13-14 years. If it was a major problem I would have dealt with it sooner. I was sort of hoping it would be a case of - yes £50 a year is fine its like petty cash OR no, you need to do x, y and z (as you have said). In which case I doubt I will do that. I do my...

    Tea/Coffee/Milk

    It only shows the company I paid, not what was bought. I dont use accounting software. I just download 12 months CSV file, go through the transactions. If I buy a laptop from amazon for example, I change the name from Amazon to Laptop so my accountant knows what it is. It doesnt take me long...

    Can one conversation change the way someone thinks?

    Did that speech CHANGE how people thought? He was speaking to people who were already behind him.

    What to provide a social media person

    The conversion rate for us was 0%. I am not using social media to generate business. The person we had historically was good, but lets be honest, if its not cupcakes or something tangible, social media is not ideal. It is more as a way to build up trust and show we are a genuine reputable...

    Tea/Coffee/Milk

    When we are running low, I just bang an extra tea or coffee on my shopping to take to the office. For the sake of a coupe of quid I am not overly bothered. I could have paid for them on my business card but I know what will happen. In 12 months I will be going through transactions and thinking...

    What to provide a social media person

    I was working on the assumption posts would be put on instagram, facebook, Linkedin - tailored for each. We have never had any engagement on twitter unless it is replying to other people. To be honest I took some of the posts on here and wrote up a spec of our business, some sales angles based...

    Moving Personal Email From Google (or M365)

    I asked this same question a month or 2 back. We switched over to zoho about 2 weeks ago. Zoho is fine, within the settings you can make it look like google. However for me the biggest let down (which I use a lot) is the search facility in zoho mail. Its pretty bad. Aside from that...

    Tea/Coffee/Milk

    I have just been to the shop and picked up some bits. Whilst there I got some of the above for the office. I paid for it myself as I always have but it was nearly £20 (I was in waitrose!). Im not overly bothered but I think its the first time in a while I have bought all 3 at the same time...

    Clean energy startup idea from Finland

    I have always wondered why we never went down the route of tidal and hydro power. With some pretty big rivers and surrounded by the sea, you almost feel like we have an endless supply of both. Maybe not enough to power the country but more consistent than wind or solar.

    What to provide a social media person

    Bit poor on the college' side. Nobody has called me. I couldnt get hold of them, the number kept going to answerphone which it did even when I first tried to contact them. I will see if I hear anything on Monday. If not, I will just get someone off fiverr. It seems easier!
