What is the most common type of family sized vehicle with blacked out windows in the uk? I want to blend in!?
I'm going to be setting up as a private investigator and need a 'normal' vehicle which preferabley can double as a family vehicle if necessary. Size really does not matter, as long as its medium sized upwards and looks normal with blacked out windows. I've been thinking about land rovers, but don't want to pay the 4x4 tax! (Sorry, daughter of a scottish accountant!). Then I thought about vans, but not sure yet. Any suggestions? Thanks for those answers, to answer the question about image, no i really don't care, its just I'd like to be able to get out of the car and leave a camera taping for a minute or so (like to go into a shop etc), and be able to leave the equipment in the car without drug addicts breaking into it and stealing it! Thats why i wanted a car that looks normal blacked out!

Answer 5 :
Ford Galaxy / Chrysler Voyager. I've seen a lot of these and most seem to have pivacy glass.
Answer 6 :
They always make me think, hearse:-( or Dracula... yuck... each to his own, but... they look devious and seriously make me mistrust the reasoning behind the need to use them... and they make me wonder if the person inside, has Asperger's Syndrome too... I've shared my last thirty years with sufferers of this condition... they need to hide away quite often... and can't be stared at... perhaps you should see a doctor and check this out? PS... the best way to be a PI... is to do it openly... you'll stand out if you have blacked out windows... in a family car... acting in a family way... even with your kids inside the car... you wont:-) Transparency is often the best place to hide... did you know the safest place to hide is close to your own doorstep... maybe just down the road? I did a PI course myself a few years ago and was going to start a business, but... couldn't be bothered with chasing errant husbands... after having had one like it:-(
Answer 7 :
Personally, I don't think there is. Just get ur windows blacked out for a few extra pounds. Maybe ur looking at £300 each window, I think. Thnx Wizdom x
Answer 8 :
Chrysler voyager they have blacked out windows but they are a bit pricey.
Answer 9 :
I thought the idea was to blend in and not look conspicuous? Get a car that doesnt draw attention, wear clothes that don't get you noticed, behave less eccentric and then you'll just melt in and become invisible as it were. If you want to be a flash harry/harriet then you'll be making success more difficult for yourself. Are you more interested in image?
Answer 10 :
Kia Sedona , they are plentifull and thus will not stand out
Answer 11 :
My neighbour has a silver vauxhall zafira mpv, it has blacked out windows and looks like it was born that way. there are companys that fit tints at your home while you wait. £200+
Answer 12 :
Why not try black or white BMW, that way u get your blacked out window's and you don't look out of place.

What Does Merger Mean In Terms Of Accountancy?
What Does Merger Mean In Terms Of Accountancy?
When an accountant does a merger, does it mean he or she would do long hours?
Corporations - 1 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
A merger is a combination of two or more independent business corporations into a single enterprise, usually involving the absorption of one or more firms by a dominant firm. The dominant firm may purchase the other firm's assets with cash or securities, purchase the other firm's stock, or issue its own stock to the other firm's stockholders in exchange for their shares in the acquired firm (thus acquiring the other company's assets and liabilities). In horizontal mergers, both firms produce the same commodity or service for the same market. In vertical mergers, a firm acquires either a supplier or a customer. If the merged business is not related to that of the acquiring firm, the new corporation is called a conglomerate. The reasons for mergers are various: the acquiring firm may seek to eliminate a competitor, to increase its efficiency, to diversify its products, services, and markets, or to reduce its taxes. So if a company was in the process of being merged with another, I would imagine the accountant would need to put in long hours because of tight deadlines. But the hours should revert to normal once the merger is completed, assuming he gets to keep his job. When 2 companies merge, there would then be 2 accountants, and usually 1 leaves.

when applying for a mortgage what information do you need to provide?
when applying for a mortgage what information do you need to provide?
I am going to see a broker tomorrow and they said to bring a list of expenses - what should these include (I mean what categories?) Also I am self-employed so what evidence of earnings should I provide? Do I need to give tax returns or just a letter from an accountant detailing my earnings? thanks! By the way, I am in London, UK! Thanks for the info - but when listing my expenses should I include my rent? I mean, when I get a mortgage I will no longer be renting so surely this is not considered as an outgoing for the purposes of assessing how much I can borrow? Also just wondering if there is any definite rule as to what evidence one requires if they are self-employed - i've been told by some it's tax returns but others say that's not necessary. thanks...
Renting & Real Estate - 4 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
take a letter from your accountant and like 3months credit card history
Answer 2 :
they are looking to see that your monthly income and monthly outgoings wil leave sufficient funding to repay a mortgage. they will want to see ,water bill,s phone, car, heating, light,gas, plus any other outgoings you have such as petrol cost and tools or whatever. in short they want a break down of your entire outgoings versus in-comings. then they deduct one from the other and offer a multiplier to arrive at amount they wil b willing to lend you.
Answer 3 :
If you're going to see your broker for the first time tomorrow and haven't been pre-approved, you don't need anything. They're just going to take your word for it when estimating how much you can afford. A pre-approval isn't any kind of legally binding figure. It's just an estimate. At the time of the pre-approval, your broker will tell you what documents you'll need when actually applying for the loan. And, you won't need to produce that until you get an offer accepted on a place. But, in general, you need tax returns for a couple of years, bank statements, and investment account statements (retirement accounts, stock portfolios, etc.). The broker will run a credit check that will list all of your debts. If you were employed, you also might have needed an employment verification letter. If they need anything besides that, the broker will let you know.
Answer 4 :
You need to provide evidence of income. As you are self employed you will have to provide copies of your accounts - a profit and loss account should be sufficient. I assume that they would be more comfortable if you have several year's accounts to show that you have a stable business. As for expenses they are most interested in other loans, credit cards and similar commitments, such as child maintenance etc. They will also ask about monthly bills, but they are only going to have an impact if your usage is way above average. They certainly won't be interested in expenses that relate directly to your current house, such as rent.

Answer 1 :
It can be a rewarding profession so the decision is good. It is not easy to qualify as a CA, but how hard it is depends on how capable you are of doing the study and the work. The best advice I can give is to go an see an accountant and discuss it with him or her face to face. Professional accountants will usually be more than delighted to discuss their vocation with young people wanting to enter the profession.
Answer 2 :
Routes to any profession are hard. The studying is very hard but once you're qualified the work is easier as you'll have staff to do most generic tasks. @19 you are in a good position to pursue a career in accountancy however take a look at the state of the global economy, will you be able to find training and work? If you don't have A-levels then you can still pursue a career in accountancy through The AAT (thats in the UK, not sure if they operate outside of this country). Advantage of doing AAT is that you can work and study at the same time, sort of like an apprenticeship. AAT is very good and will give you all the right knowledge and skills to succeed in this field. Seeing as you're 19, i'll give you a little push. Once you've qualified with one of the Accounting bodies (ACCA, CIMA, ICAEW etc) then you can earn loads of money. London is full of Financial jobs. If i were you, i'd study my buttt off and go and apply for a job at somewhere like Goldman Sachs or Barclays in the city. You'll be set for life, financially and the quality of life you will be able to have will be amazing. Just imagine.... £1m bonus on christmas? wouldn't you like that? But you're going to have to work very hard for it, you won't get a job with second rate grades, you'll need to be a consistent high performer.
