I know this issue doesn't exactly belong here but I don't know where else I could turn!
A friend asked me to help research information on setting up business in London, because although he lives in London, his english is not very good. I have to get all info in regards with taxing, VAT, finding and renting commercial (office) space, also find out specialised info about the exact businesses he is thinking to start, in order to maintain low start-up costs. I am not at all experienced about any of this so therefore I actually do find it hard work (I do have a main job where I work 5h/day so i can fit my friend's things around the schedule). I agreed helping him because if the business will start, there will be something in it for me too
I am doing this for him now for a few weeks and the first pay for my "work" would be due so I should
come up with a figure but I have no idea what sort of charge there is for this, can anyone help, please?
Should I charge per hour or per task or maybe per day and how much would be a fair average price for it?
I will get him to pay my costs like phone bill, etc. but what should I charge on top of that?
Any help is much appreciated!
