    Import Tax/Duties

    I'm importing a container of sports equipment from New Zealand. How can I find out (or does anyone know) what taxes and duties would be applicable to these and how would I work out how much they would be. The revenue website seems designed to confuse.

    New Business Location

    The "need" would be both beside the sea and inland. However I do intend to hire some equipment so obviously the coastal location may be more covenient to the customer in that respect

    Just to clarify, my choice is between Howth (approx 1500sq ft) and Ashbourne (2500sq ft). The asking rents are around €30k and €20k respectively.

    New Business Location

    I'm setting up a new business and would appreciate some input on choosing the right location. The business itself will be in the marine/watersports sector and I'm torn between a cheaper large industrial type unit approximately ten minutes from the M50 or a smaller, more expensive unit in a...

    Has anyone had any recent experiences in attempting to borrow for business. I've just set up a company but will require about €60k to fund the business and just wondering have restrictions eased at all with the re-capitalisation starting to feed through. I'm doing my banking with BOI and was...

    Rough Cost to fit a tow bar and single electrics

    Depending on the car, for a type approved bar anything from €240. Anything less and I'd be asking where the bar came from, ie was it "homemade".

    how much for a website

    On this point, I've been quoted €4250+vat for a 5-6 page e-commerce brochure site. Bearing in mind this company would also be doing my company identity and printing (at extra cost), does anyone know whether this is a reasonable price or not. It just seems a bit steep to me.

    Car exchange/swap

    Yeah something like that but more along the lines of going into a garage and being out in an hour or so. Not too keen on auctions either.

    Car exchange/swap

    Does anyone know of any garages/car dealers etc who would offer such a service. My problem is I urgently need a van for the business I'm starting but due to a number of issues (wife about to give birth/close relative ill) I'm not in a position to try to sell my car first then look around for a...

    New retail Business Start up: Bus Plan preparation, how do I estimates / projections?

    I'm planning to set up a retail business early next year. While I will have some initial finance myself (approx 20k) I will likely require more as most of this will be eaten up by the start up cost. I'm preparing my business plan but am having problems working out my figures. While I will...

    Sourcing suppliers

    Thanks Graham. I thought that would be the case alright. However what I was trying to get at was how should I contact the suppliers and in what manner. Also how soon before I intend to start trading should I do this? Thanks

    Sourcing suppliers

    Hi, at the moment I'm looking at setting up a business (mainly retail) and was wondering if anyone had an opinion on how to go about setting up a relationship with prospective suppliers. The vast majority, if not all of the goods I intend to sell would be sourced from outside the country. Also...

    Helicopter Pilot training/career

    Hi, I'm considering a change of career and was looking at the possibility of training as a helicopter pilot. While I have had a look at a number of sites offering training, I'd like to hear from anyone who has become a pilot in the last couple of years. Particularily I'd like to know can the...

    Pulled over for overweight trailer-question?

    Sorry if I did'nt make that clear. Its's only the trailer and payload that cannot exceed 3500kg. Technically once the towing vehicle is physically capable of towing that load then its ok. Having said that I have heard rumours of a new regulation that twin/tri axle trailers can only be pulled by...

    Pulled over for overweight trailer-question?

    Unless the trailer is being pulled with a truck it legally cannot have a GVW in excess of 3500kg. The Guards are beginning to take this more and more seriously and have no problem pulling people along to a weighbridge, I sell and service trailers for a living and have been amazed the attitude to...

    Passing a Percolation Test

    Checked out the previous test result at the planning office today. The T value was 70. Is this a hugely worrying result-I've been told if had been over 90 to walk away so does anyone think this value means the site is a non starter?
