  1. According to my accountant the annual allowance has been put up to £100000. It was £25k. If you spread the allowance it is spread over several years after the tax year and you still end up paying tax. Depends if you plan on buying more equipment each year, I took the whole allowance last year.It was only £25k this year and I plan on buying more equipment so it would've pushed over that boundary but now they have moved the allowances to £100k.

  3. Most of my calls go through to my mob and I've not got a full time secretary so need to answer it when it rings. Also when going to quote jobs I've often gone and looked at a job only to return and found a contact form from same village/town!highly annoying. Otter box looks bomb proof but like having a brick in your pocket. I will have to look into it before it breaks!

  4. Anything from £7 to £9/ m in Lincolnshire. But depends on client, hedge, and materials needed. Price was with binders and stakes. That's based on 40m /day. Obviously a lot more depending on m/day if say 25m.

  5. Thanks guys, I had a chap in yard other day with a jcb(or comatsu) he charged me £50/h. Can gaurentee he won't turn up with his digger, mog and lo loader for an hr! Plus I don't know many that can get through a 37" gateway.

     

    When I priced it I was thinking I've got the machine, trailer, another truck, myself, insurance and fuel/ware n tare. It's soon up there with a jcb

  6. Prob a sore subject as its very similar to chipper and man etc etc

     

    But if it's not something you do day in day out what do you charge per hr. mine has got a lot of work past few months but then it might not go out the shed for a month. mine was an old machine so I priced it at £40/hr. is that cheap??

     

    I'm only asking so please don't be offended.

  7. I ended up changing my company name after I bought my business partner out a few years ago. Best thing I ever did. The similar company named is renouned for what could be classed as "gypsy" standards. It was our fault from the start as we chose the name then realised after it was very similar to the opposition. But things were rolling by then. It's amazing how much extra work I get now with the different name. Funniest thing is that the said other company still goes around bad mouthing my company to our customers which on most occasions works out me getting the job as the client says its very poor practise to talk down the competition. I've never met the other owner either

  8. Unfortunately they weren't marked. Only bought the top handle 3wks ago from a friend! I'll have to keep my eye on the old ladies! Come to think some coppers had stopped an old lady down road after she'd passed us, she was trying to push her OAP trolley down the grass verge after the footpath stopped! Maybe it was too heavy to push with my saw and fuel can! :)

  9. I got involved last year, I think you need to be one of the "big boys" to get anywhere. Nothing ever came up for tree work but hedge cutting at councils owned properties. Nothing major.....didn't even get through the first stage of procurement because didn't score enough points!! Glendale got it in end. Best thing I did was to approach them yourself.
