    I will get to change the company structure once the turnover hits 82000 euros. This is when there'll be a real chance to change the company name to something sellable (giving me a few months to come up with something). I like the geographic idea, some very successful companies here are named...

    Good tips, thank you! And about the brand name, at the moment the company is named after myself (as many small to medium sized contractor companies are) but I realised after that if I want to sell this business in a few years then perhaps I should change that to something more generic as early...

    General update (perhaps I should have put this in general entrepreneurship) On site. Double garage nearing completion, last big push this week to finish. Got a taste of how important it is to get the price right when quoting. It hurt when I had to drop $1400 in underestimated costs for...

    France - 75% tax for high earners!

    HOT! TAXES | REGS 
    Exactly, it's supposed to be pushing consumer prices up as a result because the companies will have to compensate. Overall I think everyone agrees it's stupid (even allot of socialists).

    France - 75% tax for high earners!

    HOT! TAXES | REGS 
    Due to massive critism and the fear of loosing many of the countries top paid individuals, Hollande (president of France) decided not to go ahead with this as originally planned. Instead he decided to implement a 75% tax that is due to be paid by the company and not from the individual.

    What do you hate?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I hate having to get out the car to fill it with gas/petrol. Why can't there be a robot arm that fills the car up and the payment is taken from my telephone?

    I appreciate your concern that this is not a fastlane business, but honestly I'm fine with that because I know that I've got allot more leverage compared to being employed within the construction trade. My end goal is clear in that I want to get enough money together to start my own building...

    It is very much a sign on the dotted line environment. Once a client verbally accepts a quote they are then asked to formalize it by writing "lu et approuvé" (read and approved) and then a signature and date. Once this has happens the two parties are contractually bound by law to honor their...

    Is this doable?

    Having worked with somebody before that had a similar problem and had to close doors due to non payment of accounts I am going to be very cautious of this. When I asked this person how he'd do it differently he said to be much stricter when it comes to payment. In other words chase non payments...

    Name my company

    When I saw this thread I remembered that I'd been able to earn $80 per hour to write for people in the past. I don't pursue that activity now but I'd be more than happy (just for fun) to throw some creative ideas your way, shoot me a pm and let's get started.
