    Small Business - Accountant Charges?

    Yep, I use them and it is pretty good. One limitation at moment is that you cannot change the chart of accounts but that is likely to change soon. Also check out Clearbooks and Xero before you sign up as they may be even more appropriate for your business going forward. Some accountants are...

    Any (small) business owners on here accept card payments? - advice needed!

    When I had a business we used Streamline. They were OK, but still quite expensive. Joining the local chamber of commerce halved our interchange fee - this was very worthwhile.

    Used Vredesteins on all the family cars for last 6 or 7 years, from Audi TT to Renault Scenic (and now the Merc! - Wintrac Extremes). Good grip and wear has made excellent value, although less good value since the wholesale price went up big-time a couple of years ago, making them a special...

    Winter Tyres Rock!

    Had winter tyres fitted to the car's standard rims last year and did not tell the insurance company - no dramas and no problems. Considered that this was just the same as choosing between different tyre brands. This year had the same tyres but the new car has different wheels (18" instead of...

    Oh no! Their salesmen are up themselves and arrogant - I live 6 miles from the place and have bought 3 mercs from dealers 30 miles away - 1 from Boston and 2 from Nottingham - so it has cost them some commission! The service people are nice but won't discount. Their parts people are extremely...

    Did you try to get all the cars onto Admiral multicar - from what was explained to me the discount increases with a greater number of cars. I have found it worthwhile to change the renewal dates to get all the cars in my household onto one renewal date.
