I run an online services company. It’s not porn or anything dodgy but it’s quite niche so I won’t go into more details about what we do for fear of doxxing myself.

For now things are ticking over, I make around £60k a year net profit but I basically have a well paid job, the business is me and anyone taking over the business would need to do all the stuff I do.

I’ve been approached by an IT guy who I know well and trust and we’ve had discussions and he thinks he can modernise everything, massively improve the website, my social media, my promotional stuff and all services we provide.

He’s asking for a 20% cut of all profits, plus a further 10% on any additional profit from where we are now.

So basically he’d get £12k a year plus 30% of all company profits above £60k.

I think this modernisation will allow me to raise prices by 15% as everything will look and work better but it’s a lot of money to give away.

Does this sound like a good deal to those of you with IT guys who work on commission?

I have someone else doing IT for me at the moment and would look to keep him on in random with this new guy. They’ve worked together on some stuff already with new guy free lancing it and seem to work well so current guy would be happy working with him.

Thanks all.

I take a lot of international payments through PayPal. They rang me today to have a chat with me about the various products they offer.

Anyone got any experience with these and any suggestions of what things they have that are useful?

The Dutch girls website is probably long gone but what would be the top result?

I’m about the same age as Katie Price but I’m pretty confident she’ll be dead long before I am.

Which celebs of a similar age to you are you confident you’ll outlive?

Started meds around 12 months ago after noticing some thinning. I think I’ve seen some regrowth at the crown, it definitely feels and looks thicker there. But, I’ve not seen any improvement at the temples, in fact I may have lost a little ground there.

Is this a common experience or should I be seeing either regrowth at both or neither?

Thanks.

I’m new to stocks and shares and have invested £5000 across a few companies. I’m not expecting to want to access the money for a couple of years but part of me still wants to constantly refresh the shares to see the value.

How often do you check your shares? Should I be doing this daily or will I drive myself mad doing this?

Thanks all.

Both Labour and conservatives are polling historic lows and yet Lib Dems are stuck around 12-15%. Why aren’t they picking up any of the voters who are disillusioned with the other two main parties?
