Lloyds TSB Small Business Guide [Paperback]

The Lloyds TSB Small Business Guide is a financial advisor, tax adviser, management consultant and property agent rolled into one. Now in its 15th edition, the book has been expanded to include information on selling goods and services online, together with the latest information on the UK economy and small business tax regulations. Former investment analyst, finance lecturer and journalist Sara Williams knows more than most about business and this is reflected in the breadth of the book's content. Divided into 31 chapters, the Small Business Guide covers most of the issues you'll face in the first years of running a business, from setting up partnerships to finding offices and staff, filing taxes and dealing with customers. Each chapter has a series of exercises to help you apply the information to your own situation, and also includes links to other relevant sections of the book. The book also clearly states when specialist advice will be needed.

In the new millennium, starting your own business will become a normal state of affairs. With the lack of security in corporate life and the focus on entrepreneurship in big companies, running your own business can even be part of your career plan for moving in and out of corporate existence.

With a comprehensive index that means it can be used as a day-to-day reference guide and down-to-earth, readable advice the Lloyds TSB Small Business Guide is the ideal companion, even for those without a background in business and finance. --Sally Whittle --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
