Product Description
Each year, more than 400,000 new businesses are started in the United States. Of those 400,000 new business owners, many probably wondered if they had taken care of all the legal requirements and done all the preplanning necessary to getting their business off on the right foot.

So how do you ensure you complete all the necessary preplanning for your new business? Well, you can spend a lot of time on the telephone or in the library, or you can read Start Your Business and get an all-in-one resource for learning about general start-up requirements and preplanning activities!

This newly revised, user-friendly workbook is uniquely designed to help beginning business owners realize what needs to be done and what should be done before opening their doors. With its checklist format and easy-to-read text, you can easily check off the activities you feel you need to complete and it encourages you to consider optional activities that will only strengthen your position in the marketplace.

Inc. magazine's April 1994 cover story, "In Search of the Small Business Bible," selected three Oasis Press(r) books among its Top 40 of start-up guides and business books. Start Your Business: A Beginner's Guide was judged to be one of the best.

One of the book's main benefits is its Plan of Action worksheets that will help you organize and track all the activities necessary for a strong start up. In addition, Start Your Business will help you:
* Make all required government filings;
* Determine if you need start-up financing and if so, where to get it;
* Develop sound marketing and sales strategies;
* Hire employees correctly and more efficiently;
* Realize the preplanning necessary for production;
* Consider ways to make your business environment-friendly while complying with environmental laws;
* Write a business plan; and
* Decide if buying an existing business or franchise is for you.

The book's numerous checklists are complemented by:
* Eight Plan of Action worksheets;
* A glossary that defines business terms and jargon;
* A listing of the state directors' offices for the Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) Network; and
* Informal tips and advice from various business sources and experts.

From the Publisher
An all-in-one business planning guide that highlights major requirements and issues a new business owner needs to know. Checklists and Plans of Action ensure that you have all your bases covered. Also includes state and federal agencies that can provide answers, Small Business Development Center state offices, and national and state-specific business magazines and journals.

4.0 out of 5 stars If You Need A Start For A Small Business-Here It Is, May 18, 2000
By Kim Newton (Palmyra, IN) - See all my reviews
This is more of a small business start-up tool, a must have for small business beginners. It is packed full of checklists and doesn't bore you with lots of mumble. It gets down to the nitty-gritty and then some. The only thing missing was informative examples which I do value in some cases but, I highly recommend for anyone trying to venture out into being your own boss.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't wast your time, December 12, 2005
By anonymous (bay area, Ca) - See all my reviews
Please save your time and money and don't purchase this book. All it is a catalogue for other books that are sold by this company with a bunch of useless filler.
