The small business owner’s manual : everything you need to know to start up and run your business.

Abstract

This book doesn’t puff out to over 125,000 words by offering lame advice such as “Liability insurance is complex, so ask your agent.” It goes far beyond such platitudes to offer important information specifically for small business owners. In many cases, the counsel given here will help the small business owner make a decision without going any further; in other cases, entrepreneurs will be able to select one or two options from among many choices. For example, there are many forms of business ownership, and attorneys will gladly discuss the characteristics of each for about $150 per hour. Reading this book will permit the small business owner to narrow the conversation. If this book saves only eight minutes of discussion time with an attorney, it has already paid for itself. The book indicates when material is available for review or can be downloaded from www.TheSmallBusinessOwnersManual.com and other sites, but it does not tell readers to go to other books or simply to look on the Internet. The essentials are right here.
