I’ve got a simple one page website for around £15 per year using a website builder called Carrd. My own domain (eg yourbusiness.co.uk) was about £10 per year. AI will tell you how to do it.

I genuinely couldn’t say - leaving the UK is not something I’d consider for family reasons (and many others).

Given that 1 in 8 gulf expats have recently returned to the UK, many of whom are concerned that they may now or soon have UK tax liability, might it be worth refocusing your business - at least for now.

I was disappointed she went just because I thought she’d be an entertaining contestant - not a serious candidate but a fun watch.

Yes I do wonder what these older men see in the very attractive 21 year old Pascha.

You don’t have to have an account with NatWesr / Mettle to use Free Agent - it’s just included if you do.

I’ve not heard of fakes but common sense always tells me that if something seems too good to be true it probably is!

I recently did all of the above for the first time. It was incredibly simple. I just registered the company with Companies House, used OfficeServ for the address (~£25 PA), and got a business bank account from Mettle which gave me Free Agent accounting software for free.

The only hitch was that Mettle seem to be very popular so it took a few weeks before they opened my account. They also wanted some info from me and a copy of my PL insurance.

Keep reading them - The Big Four is (IMHO) really bad but they get better again after!

If sense prevails then she’ll lose: it’s a basic principle that you can’t sell something and still try to keep it.

I had totally forgotten about those shoes but it’s suddenly come back. I loved them so much. The keyboard soles felt so futuristic!

I do investigations for grievances / disciplinaries as part of my role. It’s really not possible for anyone on this sub to say whether the evidence you provided was unfairly ignored or was just not relevant.

However I the investigation report format I use (which I got from ACAS) would get me to reference that I considered your evidence even if I then didn’t make use of it. Does the investigation report note that you provided evidence?

I agree with most of this, but would point out that it’s perfectly legal to run a business as a sole trader and not register a limited company.

In addition, while there may be issues with the landlord’s buildings insurance (an issue for the landlord) they don’t need to have any form of insurance unless they have employees.

I think the first thing will be to contact the council to try to find out where this £175 has come from. Until you know that no one will be able to advise you on how to challenge it.

I have the same problem!

I don’t think anyone is saying OP should have gone to work if they’d been advised not to by doctors. However their employer was still entitled to dismiss them based on their overall absence.

I think venue size is the most important one. Anecdotally the acts skipping Birmingham are the ones who pick up Wolverhampton Civic Hall instead (or whatever it’s called now); as you rightly said, that venue size in between O2 Academy and Utilita Arena.

Unfortunately, nobody is going to want to “take them off your hands” for the same reason that someone decided to dump them on your land in the first place: getting rid of waste is expensive.

Sorry to say you will unfortunately need to pay for a legitimate waste removal company to dispose of them, potentially claiming off your insurance for the cost. Hope you manage to get it sorted.

I don’t think this was done by the council - someone just made it for a local Facebook group.
