Businesses in Northern Ireland

[Davem1234]

I would be interested to know how many Northern Ireland based business owners are on this website as not many posts are started in the Northern Ireland forum.

Please give details of the type of business you run and the County you are in.

I'll start ...

I run an accountancy practice in Co Down.

....and I'm still here

Nose to the grindstone, working on a Friday night, work planned all weekend, and trying to get a new office refit done while having a shockingly busy week next week.

Nothing new here, except maybe I don't worry about the bills coming in just as much as when I started

I figure at this rate, I'll be able to afford the time and the price of a pint somewhere in 2011

All depends on what price they've managed to push our pints to by then!

Read over the posts on the NI sub forum, you'll get a handle there on other NI based members.

Hi

I do business based in Belfast. Hav'nt used the forum before now. I need some info on alchol licensing. I see from The General Licensing System Part 2 Item 5 "Premises for which licences will be granted" item f, Conference Centre and item h, place of public entertainment. I am opening a small digital theatre and conference center and hope to sell wine only. Would these activities qualify for a limited licence?

Many thanks

Steve

Welcome Steve,

you might find posting this question in a more general thread in the forum might get a better response.

This thread was about introducing NI business to one another.

Best wishes

Based in Co Antrim, but travel all over....because I'm a mobile DJ and MC. I actually moved here in February this year. I did it in style.....built up a good reputation in Cambridgeshire whereby nearly all my work was from referrals....then up sticks and moved across the water. So being new to the area I'm still looking for various suppliers.

Hi Dave
I live in Limavady, and I am a frozen food retailer/distributor. I am a sole trader and I trade as Gourmet Direct - Home Delivery Service. If you google my business name you will see my website.
I have stumbled across this site today and I like it. I will keep coming back as I am really into business. I am doing an Open University Business Studies Course. I have just started so I have a lot to do.
What do you think of this site?

[Davem1234]

Hi Brian

I checked out your website and my mouth was watering!!

I especially liked the Chocolate Cheesecake ... I must bookmark your website for another time!!

Anyway, if you're well into business you'll love this website (UKBF). Its addictive for me as an Accountant but is to many others too.

Good luck with the business.

Regards

Dave

Would you like a NI forum?

I have a nice domain name and hosting already, can install the forum software if I thought you guys would want it/use it.

Let me know reply in this thread or PM me.

I'd definitely welcome a well run Northern Ireland specific forum.
There's been many that have gone before and fallen by the wayside unfortunately.

Forums take enormous time and effort to run, but if you're happy to invest in it then I'll certainly stop by.

I hear that the Southern Irish businesses (or at least their directors) are returning north of the Border in the last year, better tax breaks/rates? Is this true?

In response to your facebook question, I have just launched our company facebook fan page which is going really well so far. Nearly 200 members in about 3 weeks.

Always had my doubts about facebook pages for companies but its proving to be quite a good marketing tool.

Dont think am allowed to insert a hyperlink but if you google "quinnspares facebook fan page" am sure you will find it.

All the best Ryan.
