About the Author

In the early 1990s, author Val Clark took GBP 6,000 redundancy money and opened her own gift shop in a small shopping development in a seaside town. It was such a success that six months later she opened a second shop. "When I opened my first shop I wished there was a book to help me. I learnt by trial and error, from my own mistakes and those of others. With this book you'll speed up the learning process and start to make a profit from day one!" Small Business Start-Ups is a series of essential and informative titles designed to help anyone setting up a new business. The books are written by selected authors who have personal experience in their particular field.
