Thank you very much for your kind comment, always happy for others to learn from my mistakes.

Glad you enjoyed it! You've obviously a lot of experience yourself which is great. I've not covered back-to-back and there are various others but hopefully it gives viewers the basics that they need to learn in more detail.

@ Thanks, by the way, I’m enjoying your other videos, about UCP600. INCOTERMS 2020 ant the one about shipping, they are all great. Well done 👍

That’s great, I hope you enjoyed it.

@@ABTS Sure it was great but i can no longer work there because of war. I used to ship containers from Ukraine to Australia

Make sure to add a non-circumvention clause to your agreement and this helps with being left out of any future deals.

I’m 83 years old and thankfully still just about have all my marbles as they say 😁. Thank you very much for your kind comment.

Thank you very much. Travelling is perhaps less required these days with the internet and video calls but in my opinion, face to face meetings are always advantageous when you can. You build stronger relationships that way and people appreciate the time you’ve taken to actually see them.

If you can make this work then by all means. I’m from a time where face-to-face meetings were the only option but I do think that meeting in-person gives you more opportunity and a stronger business relationship.

@@ABTS thanks for your guidance sir, I learn a lot of things from you. As of now I have a minimum budget and I'm in a job so I can't do face to face meeting I prefer to do cold calling

Thank you for your comment! I'm glad to hear our video helped you.

Hello, it's hard to give you specific costs because much of the cost will come down to how well you can negotiate with your bank. Even though banks have a published cost for an LOC, you should always negotiate a better deal. There's too many variables involved to give you an exact cost.

Hi Michael, thanks for your comment. As a very small company, there's nothing that I can offer you at the moment unfortunately but I love you your enthusiasm!

It's my pleasure. I'm glad you are finding our video's helpful.

No, not particularly. You can open a business as a sole trader or limited company. There’s no particular risk as far as limited funds in a business bank account, as long as you have enough to trade with. Hope this helps.

@ thank you very much for your reply 😊

@ is it mandatory to be VAT registered to work directly with SL. Which one is the best flat or standard ?

@@madihamoubarrir1692 You don't have to be VAT registered, you can work as a sole trader

@ the problem you cannot get rates from shipping lines if you are not VAT registered. That’s what they told me

I will try my best, thanks very much for your comment.

That gave me a good laugh this morning! 🤣

I may send you a test quote 😁

Hi Jose, yes absolutely. In our course we use the UK tariff book whereas being in the US, you would use the US version of course (I show you where that is). Essentially that’s the only difference. Last day of Black Friday 50% offer if you would like to take advantage.

I’ve not heard of a certificate of live birth, I’m not sure what you mean?

@ It's a birth certificate. Some people in the US are teaching that you can use a Birth Certificate as a Letter of Credit.

@@Visionarythought1675 Hi Kenneth, that's not possible. I can't imagine anyone teaching that. A birth certificate and letter of credit have absolutely nothing to do with each other. In simple terms, no bank would give you any type loan, letter of credit or otherwise with your collateral being your birth certificate 🤣.

@@ABTS Thank you for the clarification as well as your timely response. I've enjoyed listening to your videos.

@@Visionarythought1675 Happy to help and I'm glad to hear our videos are helpful for you.

You’re most welcome. I’m glad to hear you are enjoying our channel!

Hello, site for what? I'm not clear on your question. Thank you.

Hello, anybody who has the funds, can open a letter of credit however I would have to know more details about the trust itself (such as who holds the trust etc).

@@ABTSwould be a securities account and the holder is the department of finance (Canada) Acting as securities intermediary.

In my understanding, a security account, is a means by which you can invest. It’s not usual to raise a letter of credit from such an account. However it would be something to discuss with your bank as far as the mechanics of it.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your comment.

Hello, I don't have any books specifically that I can recommend as the books I may have read all those decades ago I'm sure will be out dated now. Check Amazon and have a look through the reviews of any books that you find interesting. You're also welcome to enroll in our Premium course that teaches you the practical knowledge that you need for the freight forwarding business: www.abtslogistics.co.uk/full-syllabus/

Glad you enjoyed it and hope you found the content useful.

You're very welcome indeed.

Thank you Nada, I appreciate your comment.

Hi Safia, watch all the videos on our KZbin channel and check out our Blog: www.abtslogistics.co.uk/blog/. Lots of free, practical knowledge there. If you want to join our Premium Course(s) after that you're welcome to enroll.

So glad that you found the video useful.

Hello, do you have a link to the software that you mentioned?

Hello! I’m sure there are books available but I don’t have any recommendations for you unfortunately. The books l read many many moons ago, I wouldn’t be able to remember the titles.

Welcome! I'm glad the video helped.

I'm so glad to hear that. Thank you for your comment.

Thank you very much. So kind of you to comment and I’m glad our video helped you.

Thank you Andres, feel free to contact us if you need us.

You’re very welcome indeed, thanks for your comment.

Hi Martino, thanks for the comment and great suggestion. As you can tell from my age and the grey hair, computers, tech and software isn’t my strong point. Much of the work was manually keeping records in my day. I’m sure there’s some fantastic software out there to streamline things now, I just don’t have the expertise to comment on it. Sorry about that.

I’m glad to hear it helped you

Thank you very much. I hope it helped.

Hi Mei, I do address UCP600 in one of the modules but I don’t go into detail on every article. It would really take a very long to address and explain each one and for the purpose of the courses we offer, it’s not necessary.

Thank you

Hi Joshua, sorry for the late reply and congratulations on completing your MBA, well done. Best advice I can give you for now is to watch the videos we have on KZbin as well as have a good read of our blog here: www.abtslogistics.co.uk/blog/. Lots of free, practical advice there. All the best in your career.

I hope they help you!

Thank you very much, I hope my advice is useful to you.

Thank you very much for such a kind comment. I’m so glad to hear you find our videos helpful.

Hi Densly, sorry for the delayed reply. Ecommerce and emarketing I have to confess is not my specialty. It was really before my time so I had to deal with much more bricks and mortar and when it came to advertising, it was newspaper ads, yellow pages, magazine ads and taking up more ads inside some of the old directories specifically for logistics. It really was a different time and a different game. Nowadays, the world is quite literally at your feet through your laptop and a mobile. You can get your name out there with enough perseverance and determination through the various social platforms now, setup shop online with platforms like Shopify and with sites like vujis.com/, you even have access to contact details of buyers all over the world. So really, it's a different world and I see it now as one with so much opportunity so many different ways to market yourself and if I was to do it all over again as a young man, I would really attack it head on. All the best.
