From Booklist
Werksma has come to the rescue of those who would like to open their own business in, say, consulting, but need a little consultation of their own. In a breezy, matter-of-fact style, she takes the reader through all the basics, starting with a chapter entitled "Are You Qualified to Open a Home-based Business?" followed by chapters on business start-up, legal and financial planning, tools (computers), and advertising; and then she presents interviews with some of her clients, who give a valuable perspective, that of the end customer. Finally, there are pep talks for the home-based owner for every step along the way. A worthwhile guide complete with appended listings of further reading and resources, this how-to is a pleasant experience for the growing number of people about to embark upon the murky journey from commuting to staying at home.
