i was looking at this round, but £16,000 was a lot to part with. unless he would take payments on it.
just had a reply from the guy answering question i sent him on monday, but the round has gone from roundsforsale.
so someone may have bought it.
ive been to his house today and had another lengthy chat - the problem ive got is this - he says its well established (8yrs +) but he has no documents from the tax man at all to prove any of the income. he has shown me paypal account for last three months + some bank statements to prove money is coming in but it just doesnt feel right if he has no self assessments or tax returns. am i being a bit daft??
No you are not being daft.
In all honesty self assessment forms and tax returns are nobodies business except the tax mans, SE guy and his accountant.
But this guy can't prove that this work is well established from what you've said. Where are his certified accounts for the past whatever years, even if he has got rid of them his accountant would still hold them.
I think your gut feeling is saying no (mine would be) and I think you should go with it.....or at least speak with your accountant about it.
The 18 year old is SE? Then you don't have to offer him work.
By the way are you buying a business or just a window cleaning round?
