Need a stock taker?
They say that 'Information is power'. A regular stock take will give you plenty of information which you should find useful in running your business. You will get a set of reports showing you in easy to read detail, just what stock has been consumed, item by item, in the last period (as well as in total). These stock take reports will show you the GP's on each stock item, which can help when considering selling prices. Use these reports to compare your Cash Register/EPOS consumption readings against stock take figures. The reports will show you which stock items have changed price during the stocktaking period. This can be helpful if your suppliers don't always tell you straight away when they've put their prices up! Security - see if the income you are expecting is coming in. Quote: “Clive Dear”.

The opportunity is with a third party litigation funding company who has for the past two years, has raised substantial private capital in Asia. They have partnered with leading UK investment managers who bring the opportunities (litigation) once they have passed the due diligence criteria and thus meet the investment profile. The 'fund' then invests in the case (as part of a larger portfolio of cases). The profile of the investment managers is key and those who have thus far been appointed are arguably the founders of third party ATE Insurance and funding in the UK. The Company's unique point of difference is that their expertise is capital raising and structuring unique investments in alternative asset classes. The litigation itself is considered and scrutinised on its merits - purely as an asset. The company is looking to appoint a high profile Non Executive Director who would also be available if required to act as spokesperson at selected events. The individual must be comfortable with their role being publicised and promoted when necessary.
