Interested that you say that lee .
do you really only have to show the statements and not supporting invoices.
i was told this by my new business manager at Barclays but he got sacked within two months of appointment .
My dad is an old school accountant retired for 25 years and he always insists that I have support invoices which can never be wrong but maybe times have really changed and you can get away with just statements.
i would be very interested to hear your comments

Hello Johnny!...hope you are well............but what I ment was....

everyone has to submit thier invoices, that is a given (i thought anyway!).......and you also submit you bank account statements (related to the buisness)
.......your invoices are then tied to your purchases and your input from your bank account.....that is how the accountant can work the whole deal out.....

all the best

Lee.....

I have a guy at the moment following me on jobs that I am quoting and he actually goes in and just half's my quote, I won't go into how I found out it's a long drawn out story. But I am losing out on work to this guy. He is a chancer of the highest order. Greenstar with 600 x 400 stone and so on. Signing on and charging for crap work, although on the face of it the customer doesn't know it's crap. These guy's are as others are saying killing the industry and reputations. I would most definately like to lay this guy out:mad2:

I've been doing a few re-do's recently lee, in some ways it's good work but at the end of the day in a few years time that customer will still be talking about the dodgy guy that messed it all up, and negative conversations are not the best, not combined with what we are all up against already.

I think no retaliation to a threat of violence shows that.. "lay you out" does not mean grass you up to the tax man no matter where your from.
Dave did not say lay you out he said lay you in which up here in the north east means grass you up
I now have had enough you are a chancer and good tilers in your area will one day be putting your work right

Just make sure you show the dole office the pics as well!
 
There's lots of information out there to help you on your Tiling journey Mr T, if I had any business start-up questions, I'd start off by visiting somewhere like the HMRC website, HM Revenue & Customs: Starting a business, anything more specific or tiling related I'd research on perhaps a tiling website. Business Link do all sorts of free stuff/advice as well, no doubt your careers advisor kinda points you in certain directions too.. When I was at school the folk that were learning were the ones sat listening, the teachers do the talking yeah?. Yet 765 posts suggests to me, more speaking than listening?

I have just read a previous post from MR T regarding floorboards, stating that he has went through
3 beds in the last 2 years and his current one is broken too ! Can only hope for others sake that his
tiling techniques are superior to his assembly techniques,T if you had red the instructions I'm asssueming
you would be a furniture fitter too m8 !
