The missus has been fed up for a while now with her high flying nursing gig
she aint a spring chicken, so the time has come for some indulgence
she is accomplished with the sewing machine, quilting, crochet and knitting
so she wants to combine the hobby with the business
a wool shop has come up for grabs 7.5k leashold
so if you run a shop
1. What would her employment status be ?
2. Accountant required ?
3. Solicitor ?
4. Shop name ? buying existing stock ?
5. Goodwill ?
6. Tax liabilities ?
7....what havn't I thought of ?
Anyway, so....
1. Your choice, sole trader, form a Ltd
2. Depends largely on 1. You can do books and have them checked by a book keeper rather than an accountant or trust yourself via SA in sole trader.
3. Depends, are you buying leasehold ?
4. Whatever you like. Buying current stock from a failing business should be done with a very hard arsed negotiating stance. Suggest offering 1/3 of current wholesale value.
5. Not really worth a f**k
6. See 1 & 2.
7. Not sure about how small premises rates work in England, but bear them in mind and ensure you know what it's going to cost. Also, water is fecking expensive (even up here) even if you have a hand basin and bog. Electricity contracts need a bit of negotiating.
I've had a few shops over the years, so feel free to PM if you need anything else.When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment

Since then, we've expanded to the point where the current premises is starting to become a limitation. We've also bought out the other relation and I spend about 1/2 my time buying etc.

If you're buying the leasehold, all you are doing is paying for the title to the remainder of the lease, so there will still be rent to pay too.When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment
