    Let's talk about franchising

    HOT! 
    Cheers mate, long road ahead. Having someone else actually look at your numbers, operation and everything was super scary. Sort of the business equivalent of a prostate exam.

    Let's talk about franchising

    HOT! 
    The BFA (British Franchising Association) holds a bunch of expos around the country every 3 months or so. It's free to go and lasts a couple of days. I would say 80% of the expo is for franchisees (or aspiring franchisees) where companies have a stand and are basically trying to recruit people...

    Let's talk about franchising

    HOT! 
    I thought I'd chime in as I'm at very early stages of trying to franchise my gelato food truck biz (which reminds me, I really need to update my execution thread) so I've been obsessing on the topic as well. From what I've seen a typical franchisee isn't as much a "typical" entrepreneur and in...

    How to borrow up to £100,000 for your new startup***

    I noticed this post from @Vigilante got bumped up and I decided to give it a read Adding Value To The Fast Lane Forum I initially thought “oh wow I can’t wait to get to the point where I can make some quality posts to help people make a success of their business” thinking that I would need...

    Guy fakes a restaurant by selling microwave meals through Deliveroo

    Nah, it's definitely not legal. All I was saying is that if you wanted to resell microwaved meals from home, you might be able to do so if you put out a proper risk assessment and somehow got your home kitchen to resemble a commercial kitchen. You would have even more hoops to jump through than...

    Guy fakes a restaurant by selling microwave meals through Deliveroo

    It's a fun video but eventually, you will get a call from the EHO (environmental health office) to come and set a date for inspection. But it's really very straightforward to get 5 stars as long as you follow guidelines for what they are looking for and there are actually ways that you can get...

    Are The Sharks Going Broke?

    HOT! 
    Seems like everyone has said what needed to be said. But here is another even more relevant video by the same Mark Winnet of contrepreneur fame on the actual event coming up in the UK. I do think these events are going to fall in popularity soon as the formula gets "exposed". I'll be...

    Defining The Levels of Progression

    HOT! MINDSET 
    That's an incredible post @RazorCut, thanks for taking the time to write all that out, sometimes you just need one of the big boys to remind of you of the big picture. I definitely relate to everything that has been said here, I am very strongly a "level 2" person, things are going well but you...

    Question on Trademarks

    I am looking at registering a trademark in the UK for my company, I'm not sure if you can help me directly or point me in the direction of who I should be asking. My question is about whether, when registering a logo, you would want to register the logo and the name separately or if you can...

    Walter Hay's Business Books

    MARKETPLACE 
    Hi Walter, actually have some time on my hand to develop the next stage of the biz so I've finally purchased your book(s). Ended up getting all three even though the franchise one is what I am most interested in, hopefully, the payment should be with you shortly. Really looking forward to...

    what tasks or activities do you do again and again, day in and day out, that you wish you didn't have to manually fiddle with?"

    HOT! 
    Don't know about lost revenue, it's just a ballache that takes a few hours a month to do. So like £20 a month, but my business is small and I don't need to do much with the actual invoices for reasons that I won't bore you with. Other businesses that have a lot more of this stuff, or more...

    what tasks or activities do you do again and again, day in and day out, that you wish you didn't have to manually fiddle with?"

    HOT! 
    I mean, yeah, that's just organising folders, but that's essentially it. For the sake of detail, it would be better if the individual invoices had more info like the name of the company, as well as the date. Would make it easier to find in general. The key thing would be the "auto-download"...

    what tasks or activities do you do again and again, day in and day out, that you wish you didn't have to manually fiddle with?"

    HOT! 
    I don't know if there is an easy way to do this and I just don't know it yet (feel free to enlighten me, people), but something that I need to do for my small biz that loads of other people also need to do is sort and organise invoices that I get from suppliers. If there was an easy way to...

    What to do with a Facebook page with ~45k likes

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    To give a small amount of context, it's essentially a comedy/meme page for a tv show that I started years ago, that I just did for a bit of a laugh. Somebody kept on sending me content for it so I made him an admin for it and he makes 90% of the posts, it's pretty popular and people seem to...

    Hey @Walter Hay , I was hoping you'd pay this thread a visit! I most definitely have checked out your thread and I can assure you I'll be buying your book as soon as my season is over. At the moment, I'm still a bit in the trenches with the business and wrapping things up for the season, this...

    Do you bother with a pension?

    Ok, nice one guys. This is why I love this forum, it's one thing to hear people talk about these kinds of things theoretically versus people actually doing what the stuff that they promote.
