Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

COUNTDOWN TO SUCCESS!

"The Start-Up Guide" is your 12-month action plan for creating your new business. In the previous two editions, bestselling small business author David H. Bangs introduced a complete step-by-step 12-month plan for starting a successful small business. The new third edition of this Upstart classic builds on the author's tried-and-true methods with an updated resources section and helpful tips on using the Internet to find low-cost resources.

In this edition, you'll learn how to research and test ideas inexpensively, define and identify ways to reach the best markets, and forecast sales and expenses.

"Bangs shows entrepreneurs exactly what they should be doing at every important step of the prelaunch effort..." (In Business)

" The Start-Up Guide' is a one-year step-by-step timetable for organizing a business...all the while offering practical, realistic advice." (Booklist)

"A fresh look...one of the best business start-up books to be published in quite a while." (New Business Opportunities)

"Presents a powerful message...it's the stuff of dreams." (Patricia Peacock, Ed.D. director, Rutgers University Regional Small Business Development Center)

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise step-by-step helper, March 24, 2000
By 
This review is from: Start-Up Guide (Paperback)
This book has a good, concise layout to help you decide which business to pursue and how to go about getting to day one. Perhaps less pointed than a "How to Write a Business Plan" manual, it is more of a self-help book to find support in the community, think through ideas carefully, and get to day one. This book can make you a well prepared entrepreneur and more likely to be successful.
