Because James targets search rather that allowing the algorithm to do the work in finding the audience. Search is great for James as it brings in the correct person who may likely become a customer later. Better to have less of a following who are engaged than a huge following who doesn't buy. I doubt the adsense is james's strategy for earning from his channel, it's a promotional tool. If he allowed the algo to drive views then he would get tons more views and subs, but that may not be the strategy

Completely agree with your comments on experienced based retail businesses. It’s the only thing that can keep our town centres alive. Watched one of your older videos recently James, 400 ish views. Now looking at over 68,000 subscribers, views often in the 10s of thousands and recruiting a new member of your social media team. An example of what can be achieved with persistence and a commitment to constant improvement. Well done.

Thanks for the great answer to my question, good to hear you're as capable of errors as any of us! The important thing I suppose is to see where the trouble is and whether you can fix it or need to exit. That's where the monthly numbers come in - they can give you a near real-time picture of the reality on the ground. It's something I think we missed (we were probably afraid to look!) back in the day, a mistake I'll not make in the future. Well done on all the other questions, super useful and highly shareable,

I totally agree. A tax on turnover is just a regressive, parasitic brake on an economy. Their are so many governmental and semi governmental organisations who take their cut from small businesses. As a small business man I work two to three days a week on tax reporting, local council issues, OH&S reporting, insurance, employment compliance etc without a scrap of work to push my business forward. It reminds me of the mafia offering protection services, just slightly more subtle.

Interesting take on the demise of high streets, however, all the taxes mentioned such as VAT, insurance, NI, pension contributions, green levy, rent, corp tax, etc are also payable by online-only businesses. Some high streets are doing well but they're in decent, affluent, leafy towns mostly in the southeast. It goes to show that location is everything for a physical retail business and its worth paying the extra rent to be in a decent location with well off customers close by.

I agree on line pay turn over taxes, I don’t they should be paying so many turnover taxes either. It’s important to note you could rent a warehouse doing millions round the clock, compared to a high st paying the same overhead costs for a much smaller premises doing a lot less Revenue.

At the start of 2023 I had to close a small business I started 11 years ago. Also, it was here in the US so a little bit different business landscape...but still all the same business principles as you all across the pond :) The pandemic took a toll on it after years of surviving. Been having a personal pity party for the last 9 months and don't know what to do with life now...any advice on how to bounce back from such an event?

The danger of getting rid of business rates for councils is that a lot of these small shops that take cash will be tempted to not declare their profits or simply cook the books and starve councils of revenue. There's also lots of vanity businesses near me which are nearly always empty which seem to be hobbies for bored housewives (pottery studios, vintage fashion etc), without business rates the council probably wouldn't see a penny of revenue from these setups where profit doesn't seem to the main driver.

Business rates do not go to the council. They are central government taxes. The council simply collect on behalf of the government. Council tax however, domestic is paid to and received by the local council.

@@joebristowtechnologicalbre2073 you originally said "business rates do not go to the council", implying that my OP was incorrect in stating that removing them could starve local councils of funding. But now you're backtracking. According to chatgpt: While business rates are primarily a local tax collected by local authorities, a portion of the revenue does go to the central government before being redistributed. The system involves a process known as "rate retention." Local authorities retain a significant portion of the business rates they collect to fund local services. However, a portion is also sent to the central government, which then redistributes some of the funds back to local authorities through grants and other mechanisms.

We have a new lease agreement put forward that means we all pay for all issues on the industrial estate; all businesses put in a pot. So we could be paying for other buildings repairs. This is slightly concerning. we do not know how drastic this cost might be and the landlord does not want to cap the amount we pay towards maintain the estate. Any advice?

Very similar. Card transactions have an average fee of around 1.5%. Cash transactions mean you need to securely store and get that money to a bank - which results in possibly bigger headaches and outlays.
