Q The bank account for my business is not yet setup. What should I do?

Q I don't yet know when I want to start receiving supply - what should I do?
A

You can still send your application to us. We will always contact you to discuss start date. It is far better to receive your application early, as we can then ensure a better supply of magazines on your start date.

Q I don't have a solicitor - what should I put in the 'solicitor' section of the application form?
A

If you don't have a solicitor then this section of the form can be left blank.

Q Someone else is paying the deposit on my behalf - is this acceptable?
A

We must receive the deposit in the form of a cheque. If this cheque is against someone else's account you must include a letter, signed by both you and the person paying the deposit. This letter must detail the name of the person to whom the deposit should be repaid when it is refunded.

Q What is Sale or Return?
A

You will be credited for the stock you do not sell, provided it is returned within the correct time frame.

Q When will I receive my deposit back and how will it be calculated?
A

This will normally be returned to you after 11 months with interest (based on the Banking Interest Rates) less an administration fee.

Q How frequently am I invoiced?
