  • Hi there :hello:

    Have you posted an SOA (statements of affairs) before? Perhaps i f you did this then we may be able to help you cut the amount of outgoings you have at the moment, so that you have more money each month...

    have you realistically looked at your business to see if it is paying you a living wage? Ie is it paying each of you the minimum wage say? If it isn't then maybe it is time to bite the bullet and sell up and go back into PAYE employment.

    Other than that are you claiming all the benefits you are entitled to?

    There are a few ways of making more money online by doing daily clicks but they will net you about £2 a day (see eagerlearner's sig for inspiration).

    OK You are in the right place for support by coming to this forum but you need to look at the stickies (with a pin in) at the top of this thread and do an soa. Once you have done an SOA people will jump in left right and centre to say how to reduce outgoings.

    1: Boil kettle and get tea/coffee.
    2: Gather details of all debts including minimum payment and apr%.
    3: work out all outgoings.
    4: post details- be prepared because things you may see as a necessity other DFW's will see as a luxury.
    5: start a new thread entitled hopeless case soa.
    6: sit back, read and digest replies.
    Good luck!

    Would you not be willing to both return to full-time paid employment, if the business/es are not working out?
