Have been toying with the idea of getting and using a sim card payment machine and wanted to know if anyone else using yet and of any downsides of it.
Poor cashflow is the main killer to a lot of small companies, more so in a slow time of year. I know banks keep saying cheques are going (can't...

Hi,
This is my first post on the forum, and I was wondering if anyone could advise me of the best course of action to take against a customer who is unable to pay me.

I know the...

Seen a post on here a few months ago about a letter you can have sent out to clients for non-payment and it was only £2.50.
Does anyone have the link to the thread or the relevant website?
Before anyone says, I've already tried using the search function :)
Thanks in advance!
Hi chaps,
In case you didnt know, if you havent had your statement from HMRC yet for your 2nd payment, when you do get it, you will find you have until 27th September to pay to avoid interest charges.
But, this applies ONLY to your 2ND PAYMENT.
You will still have to pay interest on any other...

Through my letter box yesterday dropped my renewal letter from Elecsa - money is tight at the moment, so I called them to see if they have any "payment schemes"
Yes the lady said, pay your annual fee now, then pay your following years payments monthly, so at the end of the year your next...
Hello all,
I'm in a bit of a complicated situation and can't believe in the current climate that there isn't anyone else out there who has experienced something similair.
I recently completed a rewire for a small building contractor, whom I have worked for previously with no problem but...
Whats the best way to keep track of small jobs? Alot of small jobs are hard to keep a track of to weather you've been paid or not. Especially if you are doing 4 or 5 jobs a day!
Any ideas for making it easier?
Thanks,

Hi all
has anyone experienced problems in payment for undertaking the product recall?
Is the system not open to mass abuse? I have billed them for an install that was not on the effected list as i would assume they have no way of knowing? (or have i...)
at £75 per install it is tempting!
Hi everybody. Have been subbying to a electrician for the past 4 weeks and it seems he has a cash flow problem. He's only paid me for the first week of work so far. He seems of the impression that only when he receives money from the jobs i've done will I be paid.
Question is how long would...
Does anyone know if I'm entitled to any legal advice/support from NICEIC?
