What Constitutes Self Promotion

I've been asked this a few times on here and also to the support email address; so I thought I'd post this message to clarify my position on Self Promotion and the rules around it on the forums. I'll also give some context behind my thinking in the hope it explains the position. I understand...

Apparently it was a little off putting (not for me) that I was sat in a tattoo studio whilst my tattooist was working on my arm at the same time. ??

We have quite a good media opportunity for a whole range of business owners on UKBF; just need to work out how to ask a question about the Covid pandemic without it getting completely derailed

. Post coming soon in the forums who would like to share their story of 2021.

Ozzy · Nov 30, 2021

That's it, it's finally updated. Can't believe how much work was involved just to get onto the most current software version so we have a stable platform to build on for the future.
The first step has been taken now the real work begins for #UKBF

Hi Ozzy, thinking about registering my publication whats your formation rates?

fathippy · Aug 13, 2008

Hi - Kent Accountant recommended that i ask you about a second hand ltd co(!). Don't know whether he was referring purely to setting one up from scratch, but what i need is one that was set up a couple of years ago, ie whose first filing date is about now. Is there any way of doing that? Many thanks
