Brilliant
I have just started my online business with this book at my side, it tells you about copyright laws, international laws and lots of other legal stuff that is required in setting up as a LTD, Partnership, Sole Trader or a LLP.
The book tells you how to write a business plan, how to get sponsorships from the Princes Trust and banks etc, it tells you what you should do in terms of laying people off if that should ever happen,
How to draw up terms of sale, disclaimers, how to employ staff, how to choose your products, search for competition, price your products accordingly, too high or too low is bad for your business.
The book also tells you how to advertise, forge links and register for PayE in the UK, Make sure you get the UK version as the American one uses the US Laws which are different from UK ones!! DONT SCREW UP HERE.
The book also tells you on how to sell your product, website? telephone directory? check the market before starting? does the product already exist? can you legally start a business? if you ran a previous business that went into debt etc.
It tells you about Bank Loans and how they are tied to you and your business, which i found very helpful. The book has useful links to companies house and various other organisations that you need to contact in the process of starting up.
The only bad thing is, I have lost my copy, I will have to root it out at some point...
Hope this helps you, this book is fantastic in telling you how to start up, brilliant book, love it!

Starting & Running a Business for DUMMIES
Not that enlightening, nothing in it where I said to myself "I never knew that",having run various businesses over the last 30 odd years, I was looking for that extra angle on a new venture, where I am the sole employee.
Most of what is in this book, is for the "growth" of a company, which in this day and age, is not an advisable option, I would of preffered a section on consilidation [if you choose the growth option] or a section on staying as a "one person" business.
There was also no warnings [in my opinion, you need an outside agency to draw up contracts of employment ect] regarding the very difficult part of making a business grow [if you want to go that route]of employing people, it is getting very difficult to get the law on employment right, and, is a mine field for the novice.
On the brightside, its well written, and would be of use for someone contemplating going it alone, just to point them in the right direction or put them right off the idea.
After all, whatever you do in business, you need accountants, they are there to help, advise and if they are good, encourage you....................
