I wouldn't recommend the surface, there too expensive for what they are!
What price range are you looking at? then i will be able to give you some good suggestions! Just don't go to PC World, they like to add 100% to all there prices:-)
As some people above have said, i would recommend using facebook/twitter to promote your site.
I know in my town, there are a few facebook pages for selling junk and it would be well worth posting your site in these, i'm sure every town has a similar thing right? get your friends to like it so...
just checked from my end and on downrightnow for a status report and everything is up and working. Try clearing your cache (in chrome press Ctrl+Shift+Delete, make sure you untick passwords etc as you don't want to lose them) it probably won't be this but it definitely worth a try! but seen as...
Thank you for taking the time out to respond to me with all your ideas and suggestions!
You've all given me a boost to get my business started and have made me think about some areas i'd not previously!

Hi everyone!
I've been looking at starting an IT Consultancy for the 8 month now, and would your opinions/ideas on a few things. The council is offering anyone up to the age of 24 a £2000 grant to start up a business, majority of people I've mentioned this to say it would be daft to miss out...
Bookaroo is a good one, instantly caught my attention and its can have a funny side to it! I'm currently learning to be an accountant in the UK and want to start my own company later down the line, and one thing i've noticed is that the majority of accounting practices are too "serious" the...
Why not sell the clothes online? thinking the whole factory concept might not be as usable as you first think! Theres a new-ish site called bradley street i think, they basically get second hand branded clothes, sort through them, and post them on there website and they've even opened a few...
Some companies charge way more than its worth, because they can!
I've done some logo work in the past but mainly focus on web design now and I would charge around £100, but i've done it much cheaper and even free for some clients who have bought another service of mine, it keeps them happy!
I'm in the process of starting my IT Consultancy business and came across a guy who was also in the process of starting a printing business. I could hit him up and find out if he'd be interested in you like? And if you need any help with websites/promo material etc. hit me up and i'll sort you...
Hi ECS.
I've just advised someone else on here to check out iZettle. I don't have first hand experience using this company, but what they offer seems pretty reasonable. You basically buy the card reader (about £60), which connects to your smartphone/tablet and you then use a interface on the...
Hi Ben.
Good luck with the new venture. Any pointers as to what it is your actually doing?
I've recently come across a company called iZettle, and they provide a card reader for around £60 which can be used with any smartphone/tablet to take payments. They charge 2.75% for MasterCard/Visa and...
I think its a decent idea. Obviously theres a market for this as you've experienced. It just the contact you need, which you already seem to have. i see no problems! I would love to work with you on this if its something that appeals to yourself
Thanks

I wouldnt jump straight in and pay £30000-40000. You probably dont need to spend half as much as that to gain what you require. Apart from that i very much like the idea, we all need to work at pumping more businesses into our economy, especially for younger people like myself, there's hardly...
