Product Description

Product Description

Millions of Americans own their own businesses, and millions more dream of doing the same. But starting your own business is a pretty complicated matter, especially with all the legal issues and paperwork. This updated edition of the top–selling small business resource is chock–full of information, resources, and helpful hints on making the transition from a great idea to a great business.

If you’ve got a great idea for your own business, you need the kind of straightforward advice you’ll find here — the kind of advice you’d normally only get from business schools and MBA courses. Small Business Kit For Dummies, Second Edition covers all the basics on:

  • Recent tax law changes
  • Balancing your finances
  • Hiring and keeping employees
  • Effective management strategies
  • Accounting fundamentals

In addition to the basics of business, you’ll also find top–class advice on more advanced business basics, like business plans, the ins and outs of contracts, and using the Internet to expand your business. For entrepreneurs large and small, this comprehensive resource offers authoritative guidance on all your biggest business concerns, and offers unbeatable advice on such topics as:

  • Choosing your business structure — from LLCs to S corps
  • How to develop and write a standard business proposal
  • Going public, issuing stock, and keeping a stock ledger
  • Raising capital and understanding securities laws
  • Bookkeeping standard practices
  • Tax basics for small businesses
  • Handling the paperwork for new hires
  • Designing employee compensation plans
  • Working with independent contractors and consultants
  • Patent and copyright protections
  • Dealing with the Press

In addition, the book includes a CD–ROM full of helpful resources — forms, contracts, and even sample versions of the most popular software for small businesses. With Small Business Kit For Dummies you’ll find all the tools you need to get your small business up and running — and keep it running for years and years to come.



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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Tedious, boring and for larger companies, 26 Nov 1998
By A Customer
I was sorely disappointed by the contents of this book which is written by an attorney who clearly works with venture capital funded businesses and who doesn't understand a true small business.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievably helpful, 13 Dec 1998
By A Customer
The book was unbelievably helpful for my small business. I found the answer to 3 questions that were really bothering me. And, I found the CD-ROM attached to the book very valuable for some employment forms and agreements. The author made some difficult concepts clear and interesting, which is the hallmark of the Dummies series. The forms alone probably will save me lots of money in legal bills.
