David,
Iâ??m UK based and know a lot about U.K. business law and best practice.
Iâ??ve looked at this companyâ??s website and Iâ??m a bit cautious for what it
doesnâ??t tell me. Iâ??ll elaborate.
Itâ??s becoming more common for U.K. registered businesses to have a Company
number and sales tax reference on their websites. These numbers allow anyone to
access a place called Companies House via a U.K. GOVERNMENT portal and look up
the company that interests them. Info you can obtain shows annual turnover, the
company taxation status and whether they been naughty boys and not got an
acceptable track record on sales tax payments. You can do the search using the
Company number or typing in the company name. As I donâ??t have a Company
number I could only search by typing in the name in various formats and I got a
zero response to all my attempts.
Looking at their U.K. ADDRESSES suggests the business has some substance in
monetary terms as I know the locations in question. That didnâ??t leave me
feeling very comfortable but maybe Iâ??m just suspicious? To be in their line
of business, Iâ??d concentrate my U.K. office somewhere very close to a major
seaport and international airport, so that means London. Yes, they do have an
office there but not where Iâ??d locate it.
Looking at the Rogues Gallery of people running this outfit, most of them
appear to be Turkish or certainly East European. That doesnâ??t make me feel
too comfortable either and donâ??t anyone try to play the racism card! :)
Then we look at their other operations and it appears the only other place
where they have an office is Berlin!!!!! Ye gods, every business person in
Europe knows the best place to ship anything by air or sea and deal with money
at the same time is Rotterdam in Holland - not bloody Berlin! Letâ??s face it,
the Dutch are ace at international business, always have been and are
continually running circles round the Brits, Germans, French and Italians.
While I canâ??t say Iâ??ve found anything to MRTs discredit theyâ??re making it
very difficult for anyone to learn more about them.
Is there anything further I might do to help you in your dilemma?
Cheers, Jonmac
