Hi in reply to question 4:



All foreign owned legally registered companies in TRNC require a bond of $100,000 to ensure that they don't just disappear, among other reasons.

mess 6 - yes you do have to "bond" $100,000 - but you can draw the monet out once the company is set up, so where is the guarantee if the company ceases to trade ??



Its not called a "limited" company for nothing (limited liability)........

C'mon the guy goes through all of the hoops to register his business and try to make a go of it legally and this is what he gets.

gates, there is obviously more than one company that does it all, competition from Legal companies should be welcomed as now you have an ally to attempt to drive out the Black economy companies, get rid of the illegal Black economy grafters and you will have enough work to go around.



Shelfpants, good luck with your new venture.....

Not sure where you get your information but its wrong. We have to leave it in for the life of the company, they call it renewable on a 18 month term, however it does have to be renewed. Effectively our money remains there until we cease trading.

Hi



Our work Guarantees are personal and they are our word. Most of our work comes through word of mouth, this Island is too small to not stand by our word. We would be shot down in seconds.



Besides we ask for 50% up front of planed works and the remaining 50% on completion.



Thanks

Not wanting to pee on your bonfire,... but I have always wondered what happens to these $100000 bonds.



Say, (and I sincerely hope it doesn't happen), you go bust leaving debts to customers and suppliers of $100000.



Would this be refunded to customers & suppliers from the bond, or would the TRNC take the whole lot?



I sadly think I already know the answer.

Steve, Rob, Negative and everybody else.



Steve has a legitimate business. We should all support him for showing such an initiative and courage.



For all of you who are new to North Cyprus I can tell you that companies law (Cap 113) is derived from the laws in the British Commonwealth India around 1948. Cap 113 is very similar (but not compliant with EU laws)to the Greek side which is compliant with EU laws. In the case of a bankruptcy, companies registrar appoints an administrator who takes control of the company, forces the director to cease management and makes sure everything is properly handled. It is very imortant to know that if you fail to collect a receivabe you may apply to the companies registrar and ask for a voluntary bankruptcy of the company in default.



I am sure a lot of people have been burnt on the island. What is important is to work with the right accountant and lawyer. Therefore I strongly recommend people to search and find the right people to work with.

Well I have had bad reports on Bracy builders works, a friend of mine, for one in Esentpe, I have watched many posting from you. Are you British? Because you seem to be very anti towards British tradesmen offering their services here, qualified people. If you are indeed British, when did you leave? How many foreigners are there providing such services under cover and out bidding local tradesmen who are now on the dole?

if you are refering to bracey builders we could not do the quailty work and the trust our custumers have in us at local rates if you want patios that calapse electrics that are deadly and not done to regs plumbing work that lasts days and the genral rubish that is done at local prices dont call us , if you want a good reliable service that you can trust weather you are here or not and if you have a problem or call for a gaurntee enquiry we will attend your site as soon as posable it would always be next day . Many people have had kitchens and used other of our services and the qualaty of goods supplied have asked were we got the supplies so they could use the same . If you know of anybody that has not been satified with our service they did not call to tell us or the person telling the b--locks is a lier . I stand the trust people put in me and always will show me diferant and i will refund total costs

Ricky, what do you mean?

This is an 'often' made point that actually doesn't bear up under scrutiny.

What evidence have you got that backs this up?

Good luck with the new company and good luck to Bracey Builders.

My wife and I have been working here legally for five years. The only tool that the illegal workers have in their armoury against legitimate businesses is to bad-mouth us on forums such as this.

Gates...ignore Alibob's message, his/her motive is too obvious

Thanks for your kind remarks , i think we both know hopefully if this goverment keeps to it word people as us that have had good and bad years will only thrive through our exprences and good compotetion is always welcomed buy any company . Unfortunatly earning a £ and putting in your back pocket is the other way and will soon be on the way out we hope . So will be the people that have tryed to put us down for paying a fortune to keep our companins going over the last year .

Just a simple question:



Why do some people "go on" about being so legal and paying their taxes.



When you pay your taxes to this Government, what do they do with it? We don't have a vote, so we cannot choose the Government. But I do not believe that any TRNC Government does not do too much "worthwhile" with the taxes raised.



All my taxes keep going up, but still the level of services that I receive goes down; water, electric, foodstuffs. These are just the basics. Then there are all these amnesties.



I'm not advocating not paying taxes, but it would be nice if it went somewhere worthwhile.



Am I the only one?

Why did you pay taxes at home . If you walked into work and your boss said sorry you are finished i have a nice eligal now sitting in your chair , buy . Wake up were is all your taxes going in england or should i say went . If you have been here a year you cant use hospitals or any other service you paid in for all your lifes like it no do the same , yes but i am english . What a joke you are if you think you come here and can without any investment than buying a house take from this country anything you like . You have permition to live not to work unless you invest in the country if i was back in england i would say f--k right off

gates are you really as ignorant and as stupid as your posts make out, you put on here that another company had ceased trading, your exact words were perhaps you are mixing me up with glencoe they dont trade anymore this statement and the fact that glencoe are still trading very wel l think you owe them an apology.

And there is no call to continue slagging them off, i personally dont think much of you or now your company and certainly will NOT be using or recommending you.

In gates defence I would say that I have known him personally for some time and he is one of the most likeable, amenable people I have ever had dealings with. He is also extremely professional and has always done well by me. He clearly feels passionately about what he sees as an attack on himself and his livelyhood.

Gates, I'll come in here and take the pressure off you. People like to have a go at me as well. What I would say is try to use a little more humour and sarcasm instead of anger. It comes through too much in your postings.

What you have to remember is that the 'illegals' have no other tool in their armoury, except to post defamatory comments on this and other boards. If they know that they can wind you up as easily as they have, they will do it over and over again. Chill out man!

I know how difficult it is to run a business here, you are under constant scrutiny and fellow Brits, instead of supporting their own, like to run you down, especially those that are jealous. Sometimes, they will use a different supplier, contractor, just to spite you and those that do use your services will take out all their frustrations on you, just because they can (because you speak the lingo.)

I have a job that you can look at for me and give me a price. Email me off board.

Gates is angry about people saying things he dosent like about his company but he comes on here and says unfounded things about glencoe and nobody bats an eyelid, two faced or what, its just a pity that greg is away at present and cant defend this scurrilous statement made by gates, he wants us all to love him and he hasnt even apologised for saying glencoe were out of business when they are not, for his and other peoples information greg is retiring and has sold or is selling the company to Baris Yigit one of the best and fully qualified pool maintenance operatives in TRNC, he looks after my pool, he has been in business for quite a few years here and has a reputation second to none, he dosent need to come on here to drum up business or to slag others off, its not his style, Baris number is 0533 838 0933, all his operatives are legal & fully trained.

Sometime ago you posted this on a thread entitled 'Fencing'



'i have made my own,bought the wood and cut it to size,feel free to come and view it,would be prepared to give you a price.'



I guess you must be fully legal then?
