    Co-Op Business Direct Account

    I use the Co-Op for my business banking. They are good, no problems with the on-line banking, it works but its not pretty! A great advantage for me is I can use my local Post Office for my C0-Op banking. This works really well and means that you don't need a local branch.

    Linux or Windows

    Its Ubuntu for me. It just works, has good support and the regular updates ensure that you have an up to date OS at all times. (I do have Windows on a partition for those few occasions that I have to use it).

    Card Terminals are they worth it?

    I have low usage and Payatrader works for me. Heaven Sent you should take a look as you can run it on mobile phones, virtual terminals and if you deal with the US then you can use Payatraders call centre to accept payment even when you are closed.

    Plastic key rings

    I am looking for a batch of small plastic cards that can be attached to a key ring. Approx 3cm x 2cm. I want them printed on both sides. The idea is to use them as give aways with my company details on them which customers can attach to their own key ring. Does anyone know a good supplier?

    Virtual terminal

    I use Payatrader and their website doesn't do them justice. You can use a virtual terminal, use their call centre or they are about to launch a chip & pin machine. They seem to cover all bases and no monthly payments or minimum monthly fees. It works for me.

    How do I become a Corgi registered gas fitter?

    You are very close to a proper training company that really does specialise in this area. Look up TC Training and give them a call.

    How do other people in your trade treat eachother?

    Very mixed. I'm in the caravan and motorhome servicing business and there is a group of us that network, share information, compete but also help each other. We have others around us that will lie, slag us off to customers and will frankly say anything to get business.

    Card Terminals are they worth it?

    To answer IGm computers, square and a number of competitors operate in the US but not in Europe. I believe it is because we need chip and pin in Europe which they don't really have in the US. There are a few people testing chip and pin machines that connect to your mobile but no one seems to...

    Card Terminals are they worth it?

    I get asked by customer perhaps 5 or 6 times a month for credit card facilities and this makes normal credit card handling contracts very expensive. If I was in the US I could use something like Square on my mobile phone and the only charge would be something like 3% of the transaction. No use =...

    What happens if we leave the EU?

    People seem to comment on the Human Rights Act as if it comes from the EU. It does not, the Human Rights Act is UK law it has nothing to do with the EU or even European Court of Human Rights. If we pulled out of the EU this Act would still be in place. Talk to big companies about the EU...
