I recently moved to the UK and found a flat I like. The landlord is asking me to pay a £300 holding deposit before I can even view the property, claiming it's to reserve it because there's high demand. As a newcomer, I'm unsure if this is normal or a potential scam. Is this standard practice in the UK, or should I be cautious?

Has anyone else noticed how difficult it can be to build a professional network after moving to a new country? I've been in the UK for a few months now and would love to connect with other tech professionals, share experiences, and discover some good local communities or events.

Running a small business in Lagos comes with its unique challenges. From navigating the constant power outages to dealing with multiple taxations, it's never easy. I've found that building a strong network of fellow business owners has been invaluable. We share resources, refer clients to each other, and sometimes just vent about the struggles. What has been your biggest challenge as a small business owner in Lagos, and how did you overcome it?

I'm thinking of expanding my bakery business to include delivery services within Lagos. I currently operate from a small shop in Surulere. For those who have delivery services, what logistics provider do you use? And how do you handle the pricing? I'm considering Gokada and Bolt Food but open to other suggestions.
