From the Publisher
Full of advice and sample forms, agreements and checklists
Who would have thought a single burger stand would eventually become the largest fast food corporation in the world? At one point, even McDonald's was a small business, and the owners had to learn how to raise capital, keep books, hire employees, and file taxes. As the McDonalds brothers found out, there are lots of complexities to starting and running a business, including contracts, liability, accounting, marketing and more. San Francisco attorney Richard D. Harroch can help entrepreneurs and small businesses cut through the maze in SMALL BUSINESS KIT FOR DUMMIES which provides advice and sample forms, agreements and checklists necessary for starting, growing and operating your business. The book comes with an exclusive CD-ROM containing over 250 forms, agreements and checklists on incorporation, leases, insurance, contracts, venture capital, employment, consulting agreements, protecting ideas and inventions, letters of intent, press releases, bookkeeping and accounting forms, and more. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
