Musical equipment can move a lot in price. The difference between RRP and street price can routinely be very large. Give it a year or so and if that item is now supersceded by a newer model the price drops even more. Sometimes incredibly so. On top of that the RRP's are designed to offer the...
Are you talking about wholesale or individual items? I import alot of individual musical items and without exception they have been intercepted by customs with the tax then paid upon receipt at the local sorting office. It's worth noting that the tax aplpies to the accumulated value of both the...
You should defintely have a chat with an accountant first. You probably could handle your own books as you go along and only need to check back for annual returns but there's no harm in getting yourself ship shape from day one in regards to handling your vat (if applicable), what is tax...
Some questions relating to a projected budget as part of a business plan:
* Are lease repayments and interest on an asset purchase shown as one figure under direct expenses or split with the interest shown seperately as a fixed overhead?
* If I have an asset worth €100,000 and I wish to show...
They strike me as being better value than seperate fax/printer/copy machines. I'd be interested to hear what they are like to use on a day by day basis in terms of quality and service/maintenance. Any thoughts?

What I'm after is more of a commercial application. I'm sure there are many companies in Asia or Turkey and Portugal that do this kind of thing. I'd love to hear from anyone that has used or knows of a supplier for this kind of thing.
It's a kind of a sack type piece that should be made and fitted to snuggly contain a large object of a recatangular shape. It will need certain loops and small details on the outside. It's for business, not consumption. Any leads or pointers?
I need to get 200 bespoke, good quality cloth products (not clothes) made of nice cotton to my design. Any ideas on where to source this kind of thing in Ireland or beyond?
If a certain product's market value is now worth €200,000 per annum and was worth €100,000 10 years ago, has it grown by 10% a year or 5% a year on average? In other words, which figure should the basis of percentage growth be based on?
I'm looking to find general info about business in Ireland e.g. amount of businesses in retail, amount of businesses in Dublin etc. Any advice on where to source that kind of knowledge?
