  1. £5M tends to be considered not enough for most reasonable sized jobs/outfits now.

     

    Remember its not the house that would cost but the 3 disabled kids you create inside that need looking after for the rest of their lives.

     

     

    Was kind of thinking that after that accident with the Lorry and the bridge, I bet that runs up to be a big bill. Like everyone was saying you can't hide behind a Ltd company as easy now tho.

     

     

    If in doubt cut it out.

  2. If you are selling firewood (you don't say what line you are in), the VAT on heating fuel is only 5%, which you off set by claiming the full 20 % back on the VAT that you have paid out.

     

    I am with Santander, just finished the free twelve months. My firewood customers pay by bank transfer and I get updates on my phone. The cost is £7.50 a month which is well worth it for me.

     

    Good luck.

    It's actually just a tree surgery so if I was to charge 20% extra on private jobs I would probably price myself out of most of them.

     

    Yeah, I am thinking it makes more sense to be a sole trader. I am insured up to 5 million so that should hopefully (touch wood) cover if there was an accident. Worst things worst I would just go back to freelance as I am a decent climber and could always make a living off that.

     

    I have got a few meetings with banks this week so I will see how it all goes.

  3. Thinking of starting up again but this time I have a house and possessions that I wouldn't want to lose. I doubt I would be out of work as a freelance worker and I am not planning on financing anything at the moment.

     

    I am swaying more towards the Ltd company but the thing that puts me off is the having to have a business bank accounts (I hate that you have to pay to take your money out). Anyways, does anyone have any experiences with doing this or any advise?

     

    Cheers.

  4. A good friend of mine has a lovely copper beech in his garden it will be at least 20m high and have a crown of 12m wide. Just recently Ganoderma has started to show up on the trunk, the tree looks fine but I am a bit worried about the fungus. My question is is there anyway to treat it before it gets worse or is it just hope that the tee fights against it?

     

    Cheers

  5. Hi,

    I have been climbing for 6 years and have a bit of knowledge with tree work.

    I have most tickets from Cs30-42 and UA tickets up to 3 and a SVQ2 in Arboriculture.

    My question is I have heard of folk doing further education with the ISA but is it a recognised certificate in the UK and which course would you say to do.

     

    Cheers

  6. Yeah Jon I flew from Newcastle which took an hour then 6 and a half on the way back.

    I can't believe the torque it has, I had a big MEWP on it the other day and didn't really struggle. Got a few plans for it.

  7. I bought this the other day from Exeter and I sm over the moon with it. I got it off a bloke on here, I think his under adorning or something but I can't find him so if anyone knows he tell him thanks!
