This review is from: Start and Run a Profitable Office Service Business from Your Home: Your Step-By-Step Business Plan (Self-Counsel Business) (Paperback)

Helpful book for someone considering working at home--offering services of: resumes, letters, mail service, bookkeeping and accounting, answering service, or translating. The book offers advice from getting a business license to keeping the money coming in. It also discusses customers habits (good and bad) and how to avoid or refuse to work for certain problem customers without offending anyone. The chapter on learning how to price your services was extremely helpful. A stay at home parent might find this a great opportunity to work at home part-time.
