Popular Post Davenpete Posted November 8, 2014 Popular Post Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) As I remember it's only about £200 to register a limited liability company (not a lot anyway) - it's extremely unlikely that things like Twisted Wheel Soul Limited, Torch Northern Limited, Wigan Northern Soul Limited, Casino Northern Soul Limited, Big Trousers and Circle Skirts Clown Attire and Fancy Dress Supplies Limited etc etc etc are currently registered... Never mind variants like Whatever Name You Want 'Ltd' (you can register the company name as Ltd as opposed to Limited) and Northern Soul (Wigan) Limited (or indeed Northern Soul (Any Place You Care To Mention) Limited. And that's not to mention Any Old Limited TRADING AS (T/A) 'Russ Winstanley's Wedge', 'Kiss Me Quick Northern Soul' or 'Riker Liker Floorshaker' - whatever it is, if you want to register it or use a Trading Name you can (as long as you are clearly not another company competing in the same market and that it states your company's legal name on the letterhead, a trading name if applicable, and its registered number - 'Registered in England and Wales' or 'Registered in Scotland')... The only thing any of this really means is that if you are bidding on this eBay item you are clueless about business and that if you are aiming to use one of these sorts of names you are probably a cynical bastard aiming to milk the scene because you've got infinitely more love of money than respect for the scene or love of the music anyway.

Guest Matt Male Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) So from now on no-one can use the phrase 'Wigan Casino Northern Soul'? GOOD! Edited November 8, 2014 by Matt Male
Guest Aaron Darcy Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 What ever next ? yes what ever next ? soul scene is going crazy
spike1 Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 So from now on no-one can use the phrase 'Wigan Casino Northern Soul'? GOOD! Afraid anyone can use the term "Wigan casino northern soul' Because it's a long established term name or saying Can't use "Wigan casino northern soul LTD" though ;)
hullsoul Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Does anyone ever used the full term "Wigan Casino Northern Soul"? Haven't times changed,always used to shit myself when there was a knock at the door thinking it was squad now it'll be Trading Standards Cheers Martyn 3

John May Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Yes but currently ZERO bids, and the seller has Zero feedback !, will be interested in if it sells, kind of doubt it.
SteveM Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Same guy registered Third Lanark Football Club at the same time, December 2005. Looking at the Companies House website, you could probably form Wigan Casino Ltd for around £50. 1
Soulandy Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 £1500 now. Might be worth it for the nectar points https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WIGAN-CASINO-NORTHERN-SOUL-LIMITED-REGISTERED-TRADE-MARK-/201213979653?

Northern Soul Uk Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Trouble is when you register a company name, you also get a hefty corperation tax bill through within a month from out lovely small business helping government.
Davenpete Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Er... No. You have to make the money to pay tax on it.
SteveM Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 The form you get within a month is a request for amongst other things, directors tax and ni details. This guy has filed dormant accounts each year.
