Publisher's Synopsis
An entertaining and instructive book aimed at intending entrepreneurs wanting to set up or buy a first business for themselves. It is packed with anecdotal information as well as containing samples of documentation of importance to the reader. Written in almost conversational style, this excellent new book includes many amusing asides on the abuse of the English language and light-hearted attacks on government, lawyers and consultants. The book deals with issues from basic principles and so requires no prior knowledge or skills. Knowledgeable business professionals will probably find themselves nodding at the many real-life experiences in the text as well as being able to take practical advantage of the detailed commentary on various aspects of business, thereby broadening their own skill base. The first half looks at various decisions along the road to going into business, and the second half includes powerful worked examples which will let readers learn sufficient accountancy and business planning skills to establish their chosen businesses.
