Claimed!

Can you consolidate your debt in to one easily manageable loan?

Someone watches too many adverts.

Go to CAB.

I'm actually amazed that you signed up to OcUK, just to post a request for business advice in the GD! Switch off your computer, and walk on over to your nearest CAB.

Martin Lewis is your only hope

what type of business is it ?

Wiggins · 6 Oct 2008 at 13:57

Strange place to join and start a thread like this.

Oh forgot, it is ocuk!

antijoke · 6 Oct 2008 at 13:59

Brilliant.

Shell Livewire forums migth be worth trying. But you're not giving us much information about the nature of your business or the extent of the problems.

Cosimo · 6 Oct 2008 at 14:05

This not the place for this type of advice. :eek:

A simple Google will bring up many business forums, join some. Go to a Citizens Advice Bureau and also speak to your/an Accountant. In this current climate I would do both a.s.a.p.

Must be mad starting up a business in the current climate.

Have you tried overclocking it?

Punch your self in the ovaries?

You definately need to form a limited company for your business and if you have large pieces of equipment, you may be able to 'sell'them to a leasing company and then lease them back with a monthly charge. This would release some capital back into the business.

Above all, you really need an accountant's advice right now.

Good luck.

Hmm, I shall call shenanigans on this

Nix · 6 Oct 2008 at 14:13

Urm, serves you right really.

Do what Gilly said and get yourself down to the CAB.

oxygene · 6 Oct 2008 at 14:18

Talk to FRANK.

Well, not really the best for practical advice on a business matter, but I like it.

I suppose he could recommend some really good recreational drugs to help you deal with the stress and anxiety of setting up a new business venture.

Sounds like she's perfectly capable of living in a daydream without the help of questionable substances already.

Wiggins · 6 Oct 2008 at 14:23

Either that or an ocuk member is playing silly buggers.

Skidder · 6 Oct 2008 at 14:26

Don't think it's a genuine post: two odd a place to join in order to make that post; no real info about the business, level of debt; and the tone of the post is not credible.

I'm sure plenty of us are more than qualified to help with business questions but we're gonna need to see a picture of the OP surrounded by her business purchases with a loaf on her head if this is going to be taken seriously.
