I'm going to be the sole shareholder and will deposit a lump sum to fund the start up.
At some point I'm going to go back to college and do my 2392 and...

Does anyone have any idea how much I should be offering a first year apprentice,
He has given me a hand in the past and is a very hard worker so feel the NMW for apprentices is a little to low for him.
Also is there funding avalible etc?

I taught a PAT Testing training course in a hotel last week. My customer, who organised the course, had told the hotel staff I was coming, and it seems they panicked, and booked somebody to come in and test their own stuff. I think they were worried in case I noticed that they hadn't had it...

Just wondering what everyone's doing with structural calcs? I'm pretty sure our main competition doesn't do them at all (along with SAP calcs). We've been recommending them where we think they're necessary but haven't been doing them for every job. We found early on that local guys were going to...

I've 2 questions really.
1) We are all waiting the outcome of the supreme court appeal (if its even granted) but what are the energy companies paying to those after 1st April 2012 for people who installed between 12th Dec 2011 and 3rd March 2012? is it 21p or 43p?
2) If your FIT Contract...

I know comments have been made when discussing this subject in the past but I've just been reading something completely unrelated and a thought popped into my mind:bulb2:
I'm sure there are members who know a great deal about the legallities regarding this subject so I was hoping for some...
Hi
Just had a nice job accepted but the customer will not pay ballance of materials as per REAL terms until the goods are delivered on site.
They will however pay 20 % deposit.
Should I tell them to shove it where the PV doesnt work or change my contract accordingly so they pay ballance of...
Customer getting a funny about paying a deposit.....! Job £1200, deposit £360
Out of nearly over 400 jobs never had a an issue with this.
Always request a deposit of 30% on jobs over £500 in value.
All clearly stated in T&C's.
Anyone else had a prob with this ?

I'm getting annoyed with suppliers refusing to pay the first few days generation. We fill all our paperwork in on the final day on a laptop and print off everything including handover documents e.t.c. We then fill in the customers FIT application and mail it on the way home. So why do suppliers...
I thought I would post this after reading about sparks going to work in Afghanistan but having to pay uk tax.

So you earn £1000, IR takes £400 leaving you with £600, not good you're £400 down.
But if you pay the £600 into a...
There is another thread talking about the need for structural assessments but how do you pay for them?
Is the customer's deposit taken and a clause in the contract stipulates that if the structural survey fails (or re-enforcement is required but the customer doesn't want to do it) then the cost...
Hi all, I'm newly self employed and was wondering if anyone knows of any good laymans guides on the kinds of things that can be claimed for when filling out the self assessment forms. Having waded through the HMRC website I have a reasonable idea but real life examples are always useful.
