hi, another query pls......

Granite tiles going on floor, I have fairly good knowledge re sealing etc, but what advice would you give on embarking on this one re cutting and best sealing processes? They're approx 400x400, dark colours.

Thanks

Use a wet cutter for those cuts....

Use an impregnating sealer designed for that type of stone there are many makes about... i use the lithofin range...and i use a roller to apply it..the small radiator type rollers are good ( not the sponge ones )....

Just in the process of starting my own business and wondered if anyone has any recommendations of the best way to register for tax, and the best way to pay my wage from my business account to my personal account....

Also any recommendations on how to find an accountant would be more than helpful.

Many Thanks
John

hi john read this mate....

and as for the accountant bit then.
  1. Build a Referral List: Find at least five accountants by contacting your financial planner, banker, insurance agent, & industry association. Talk with business owners in your industry that you do not compete with directly.
  2. List Contact: Call the five accountants on your list and ask to discuss their services. Find out the firm's size, their experience in your industry and educational background. Ask them to send information on their billing policies and fees.
  3. Select Three Best Candidates for Personal Meeting: Choose the accountants that responded promptly to your request and that had an understanding of your business and have fees within your budget.
  4. Final Interview: Find out if they will work directly on your account or if it is handled by an employee. Will they advise you on an audit, your ownership structure, and provide assistance with analysis of your financial statements?
  5. Final Selection: Base your selection on the best answers to your questions and the fact that they have other services to grow with your business or meet upcoming challenges. Are they approachable and professional enough for you?
Tips:
  1. An accountant should be more than a simple tax preparer. You need their advice and guidance in steering your business now and in the upcoming year.
