    Help needed - your opinion is valued

    Thank you once again to everyone that has filled in the survey I promised in the original post that I wouldn't spam the group with the results but there have been a couple of posts above asking for them. Would members find it useful for me to publish them? I ask because I hate the kind...

    Help needed - your opinion is valued

    Already I've had some really interesting results and it has been a very useful exercise. I still need more responses to make it a fair test so if you haven't taken the survey then I'd be really grateful if you would and if you want to pass it on then feel free.

    Help needed - your opinion is valued

    Thanks very much for your points. This is why I find it useful to get other opinions - sometimes we get too close to a subject matter I think.

    Opening a Shop

    Just check what the council are expecting by way of advance rent and rent deposits. They may be fine but some landlords are getting a bit ambitious as to the amount of money they expect you to shell out in advance. Also make sure you do a cash flow forecast and keep it up to date. It seems...

    Am I being unfair ?

    Sit him down and explain to him what makes the business tick, so for example you get paid per job so whether it's just you doing it, or the both of you then the money's the same. Also point out that people are expecting to pay less for their goods and services in many cases so you are lucky to...

    Bookkeeping Tips/Analogies Help Please

    I think they're all pretty good ideas actually. You could always get a brown HMRC envelope and wave that in front of their faces - that generally wakes people up! The doctor analogy is one I use. Imagine building a house. A brickie comes along and tells you he can do everything and...

    Quickbooks or not...!

    Well I love quickbooks but.. when you say multi users, do you mean all at the same time in the same company file or more than one user but only one at a time? 2010 pro you can have up to 3 users in the same file at the same time, premier you can have up to 30 but both of these you have to buy...

    Urgent help needed RE: liquidation and PAYE debt

    The law was tightened in part specifically to address the issue where a director says that they couldn't be expected to know what was happening because they didn't have the specialist knowledge or because it wasn't their area of responsibility. No-one is having a go at directors per se but...

    Deluded Boss

    What a difficult position to be in. How about suggesting a prospective customer forum? Maybe present the items, get the customers to use them and get feedback from them If he won't believe you then maybe he'll believe his target market

    Urgent help needed RE: liquidation and PAYE debt

    I'd agree with Paul and, having seen similar situations in the past can I also suggest getting everything in writing? I know it's a difficult situation but I think you are starting to realise that your BFs dad has been playing fast and loose with the system and you need to make sure you are...

    Query

    Sounds like someone swallowed a 1980s management bible. What was the relationship going to be? presumably you as a supplier? Stu

    Dorset anyone?

    Well done vicky it looks good. The only constructive thoughts I can come up with is that I found it a bit light on content and all ads if that makes sense? So it seemed a bit like the advertiser where theres nothing interesting to read in it. I wonder if it might be an idea to either write...
